The political parties
The Bundestag has a multi-party system with, up until the 2013 elections, six parties represented. There are three major parties. The first two are the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), who together form the same parliamentary group known as the CDU/CSU. The other is the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). In addition, there are three minor parties, the Free Democratic Party (FDP), The Left, and Alliance '90/The Greens. The ruling federal government of Germany usually consists of a coalition of a major and a minor party, most typically CDU/CSU and FDP, or a 'red-green alliance' of the SPD and Greens. From 1966 to 1969, and again from 2005 to 2009, the federal government consisted of a grand coalition.
These six (seven including the CSU) parties were represented in the German parliament up until the September 2013 elections and their positions and allegiances may be briefly summarised as follows:
