 | | The New Deal coalition was a diverse collection of groups of voters who supported the United States Democratic Party from 1932 until approximately 1964, and which made the Democratic Party the majority party during that time. | | | Franklin Delano Roosevelt was able to forge a coalition of labor unions, liberals, African Americans, and southern whites. | | | The division between the two parties is virtually even in both houses of Congress, as of 2002, and no party has established the kind of dominance that the Democrats were able to exert during the period of the New Deal coalition. |

| | The government over which he presided for the first sixty of his hundred days was a so-called "Great Coalition" government, that is to say, a cabinet which contained members of the three parties of the Weimar Coalition plus his one, the DVP. | | | He had the courage and the self confidence to take office under unprecedentedly bad conditions, an act of statesmanship to be compared with that of the Weimar Coalition in voting to accept the Treaty of Versailles (which he had opposed). | | | Since from 1920 on neither the Weimar Coalition alone nor the parties of the Right alone could muster a majority in the Reichstag, owing to the strength of the USPD and KPD, the great parliamentary problem of the Weimar Republic was the relationship between the SPD and the DVP. |
