Traffic light coalition ((ドイツ語:Ampelkoalition)) is a term originating in German politics where it describes a coalition government of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), the Free Democratic Party (FDP), and The Greens. It arises from the fact that the parties' traditional colours, respectively red, yellow, and green, resemble the normal colour sequence of a traffic light. It has subsequently been used to describe similar coalitions between social democrats, liberals, and greens in other countries. ==History== The phrase "traffic light coalition" is a direct translation of the German word ''Ampelkoalition''. At a state level, there have been two traffic light coalitions in Germany: in Brandenburg between 1990 and 1994 and in Bremen between 1991 and 1995. Negotiations to form such a coalition in Berlin in 2001 were not successful. At a federal level, however, to date no government has been formed on this basis. Historically, there have been 'red-green' coalitions in the Bundestag between the SPD and the Greens, and social-liberal coalitions between the SPD and the FDP. However, whilst there may be common ground in terms of social progressivism between the three parties, the FDP's economic liberalism and long association at the federal level with the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) make such a coalition problematic at present and the FDP had specifically ruled out this option for the 2009 election The term became more widely used outside Germany when the inconclusive 2005 federal election led to its use in the international media. The term Jamaica coalition was formed in a similar way, describing a hypothetical coalition between the CDU, FDP and Greens. In Schleswig-Holstein a "Danish traffic light" ((ドイツ語:Dänen-Ampel)) was formed after the 2012 state election, formed by the SPD, Greens and the South Schleswig Voter Federation, a regionalist minor party representing the Danish and Frisian minority in the state. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Traffic light coalition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
