Created from Britannica articles using AI. AI can make mistakes, so verify using Britannica articles.

Legislative elections in Luxembourg have traditionally resulted in coalition governments formed by two of the three major political parties. These parties are:1

Christian Social People’s Party (Chrëschtlech Sozial Vollekspartei; CSV)21
Socialist Workers’ Party of Luxembourg (Lëtzebuergesch Sozialistesch Arbechterpartei; LSAP)21
Democratic Party (Demokratesch Partei; DP)21

Historically, these parties have alternated in various combinations to lead the government. For example, the CSV and the LSAP maintained a long-standing coalition for 15 years, and later, the LSAP formed a coalition with the Democratic Party and the Greens following the 2013 elections.12
