Blue-red coalition
In Besmenia, a blue-red coalition or red-blue coalition is a government coalition of the Besmenian People's Party and the Social Democratic Union. This coalition is one of the most traditional and oldest, because such a coalition first existed between 1924-1928. Such coalitions have become very rare since the 1970s, as the majority of the SDUs prefer a coalition with the FBBP. Between 1956 and 1972 both parties were involved in the government for a total of 16 years (between 1956-1964 under BVP leadership and 1964-1972 under SDU leadership). After that there was a blue-red coalition only 40 years later between 2012-2016. After the 1992 Besmenian federal election, a blue-red coalition was possible to come, but Tautenbach decided on a minority government with the GPB.

Yellow-red coalition
A yellow-red coalition or red-yellow coalition (often referred to as social liberal coalition since the mid-1960s) is a government coalition of the Free Besmenian Citizen's Party and the Social Democratic Union. Under Albrecht Neumann there was a coalition of both parties for the first time from 1944 to 1956. After the FBBP developed in the 1960s under Jürgen Rothmann from a right wing liberal to a more centric liberal party, SDU membership rose the interest of a social-liberal coalition, whereby the SDU is nowadays referred to as a classic government partner of the FBBP.

A cyan-blue coalition is a government coalition of the Besmenian People's Party and the National Besmenian Party. Such a coalition has only existed at the state level in the state of Greuningia between 1999 and 2009 under the leadership of the NBP with Alexander von Wiest as governor. The reason is that the majority of BVP renounced a coalition with the NBP in the past.
