How Proportional Representation Shapes Coalition Governments

Quick fact

In Germany, the electoral threshold (5%) keeps tiny parties out, but even so, the Bundestag regularly has multiple parties, and since 1949, Germany has never had a single-party government.

Why this is interesting

You know how many votes each party gets, but do you ever wonder why some countries have governments made of two or even three parties? The answer lies in how votes are turned into seats.
