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. Such coalitions have become very rare since the 1970s on federal level, as the majority of SDU politicans 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.

Yellow-red coalition
A yellow-red coalition or red-yellow coalition (often referred to as social-liberal coalition) is a government coalition of the Free Besmenian Citizen's Party and the Social Democratic Union. The first governing coalition of this kind existed at federal level from 1948 to 1956 between the Social Democratic Union and the then right-wing liberal Liberal Citizen's Party of Besmenia, although the name of the coalition for the cooperation between the LBB and SDU is rather uncommon, since the LBB had never officially been used the color dark yellow, with which it is today associated with the LBB, as a party colour.

Turquoise-blue coalition
A turquoise-blue coalition or blue-turquoise coalition is a government coalition of the Besmenian People's Party and the National Besmenian Party. This coalition has only existed twice so far and only at state level: First in Greuningia from 1998 to 2008 under NBP leadership and currently since 2022 in Sedakania under BVP leadership. The reason that a blue-turquoise coalition rarely occurs is the rejection of the majority of BVP members towards the right-wing populist NBP
