three elections where the Liberal Party won enough seats to govern in its own right. The stability between the parties (and their predecessors) has been punctuated The Liberal–National Coalition, commonly known as the Coalition or the LNP, is an alliance of liberal conservative and centre-right to right-wing political parties in Australia. Its primary members are the Liberal Party of Australia and the National Party of Australia (previously known as the Country Party and the National Country Party). It is one of the two major groupings in Australian politics The Country Party was the stronger coalition partner from the 1933 state election to the 1947 state election, although the Coalition did not form government during this period. Western Australia has never had a premier from the Country/National Party. In May 1949, the Liberal and Country League was formed to attempt to merge Country Party (then called County Democratic League or CDL) and Liberal Party together. This did not eventuate and the CDL did not join the new party. The National Party was in Coalition with the Liberal Party government from 1993 to 2001 (see Hendy Cowan), but the Coalition was subsequently broken. In 2008, the Liberals under Colin Barnett, the Nationals under Brendon Grylls, and independent John Bowler formed a minority government after the 2008 election. However, it was not characterised as a "traditional coalition", with limited cabinet collective responsibility for National cabinet members. Tony Crook was elected as the WA Nationals candidate for the seat of O'Connor at the 2010 federal election. Although some reports initially counted Crook as a National MP, and thus part of the Coalition, Crook sat as a crossbencher. The Liberals won enough seats for a majority in their own right in the 2013 state election, but Barnett had announced before the election that he would retain the coalition with the Nationals. However, Barnett would have likely had to keep the Nationals in his government in any event. According to the ABC's Antony Green, the rural weighting in the Legislative Council all but forces the WA Liberals to depend on National support even when the Liberals have enough support to govern alone. The Barnett government was heavily defeated at the 2017 state election, and the two parties went their separate ways with Liberal Party being the sole opposition party. In the 2021 election, the Liberal Party ended up winning fewer seats than the National Party, headed by Mia Davies, with the National Party gaining opposition status and Davies becoming the first Nationals opposition leader since 1947. Following the election, the Liberal Party and Nationals Party entered into a formal alliance to form opposition, with National Party being…

Liberal Democratic Party–Japan Innovation Party coalition The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Japan Innovation Party (JIP) formed a coalition on 20 October 2025. It was created after the LDP–Komeito coalition ended. The coalition helped create the Takaichi Cabinet, which was formed on 21 October 2025. Currently, the LDP holds all ministerial posts in the coalition government. The two parties are aligned on national policies and National Diet strategies. Background On 10 October 2025, Komeito leader Tetsuo Saito announced that his party would leave from its coalition with the LDP, since they did not approave of Sanae Takaichi, who was elected LDP president in a leadership election before.[1] Following Komeito's withdrawal, the LDP invited the Japan Innovation Party to join the coalition.[2] The JIP was third-largest party in the Diet, and is more to the political right than Komeito. On 15 October, Takaichi met with JIP leader Hirofumi Yoshimura and co-leader Fumitake Fujita. The two sides agreed to talk about the possibility of forming a coalition government starting from 16 October.
