GreenLeft

It was formed on 1 March 1989 from the merger of four left-wing parties: the Communist Party of the Netherlands, the Pacifist Socialist Party, the Political Party of Radicals and the Evangelical People's Party, which shared left-wing and progressive ideals and had previously co-operated in the Rainbow coalition for the 1989 European Parliament election.

No party has come close to winning a majority of seats since the introduction of proportional representation in 1918.Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p1412 All governments since then have been coalitions between two or more parties.
