Italy Since 1994, Italian politics has been divided into two main blocs, the
centre-right and the
centre-left coalitions; which under various forms alternatively led the country for more than two decades.

Netherlands Combination of lists Dutch elections from 1973 to 2017 allowed for electoral alliances between two parties where both parties would nominate a combined
party list. This practice, called the
lijstverbinding, was abolished in June 2017 after being earlier abandoned for Senate elections. Typically, the parties in a coalition are ideologically related. For example, in the
2003 general elections, the
Socialist Party and
GreenLeft formed a
lijstverbinding. In the
2004 European elections the social-democratic
PvdA and GreenLeft formed a
lijstverbinding. The Orthodox Protestant
Reformed Political Party and
Christian Union have also formed a
lijstverbinding in the past.
Common list In a common list two or more political parties share a list and often have a common political programme for the election. The participating political parties are identifiable for the voters because the names of these parties are mentioned on the voting paper. It is similar to
electoral fusion as voters give their votes to specific candidates on the list.
Philippines Philippine Senate elections since 1987 have been primarily contested by multi-party electoral alliances, with guest candidates if an alliance is not able to complete a 12-person slate. Slates having guest candidates is seen as a weakness of finding candidates within their ranks. This has been a feature of midterm elections, where there are usually two or three major coalitions, with presidential elections years having major presidential candidates putting up their own senatorial slates.

SDP–Liberal Alliance The SDP–Liberal Alliance began in 1981, shortly after the
Limehouse Declaration. The Alliance contested the
1983 and
1987 elections, and became defunct in 1988, when the parties merged into the
Liberal Democrats. In the first few years of the alliance, Liberals and Social Democrats were very confident it would be a success,
David Steel even suggesting that Alliance could form the next government. Later on, however, the alliance faced difficulty with political and personal clashes between Steel and
