question 12
until november 2024, germany had a coalition government composed of three parties: spd, greens, and fdp. in november 2024, the fdp left the coalition and a few weeks later, parliament held a vote of no confidence in the government, leading to a general election in february 2025. why was this the result of one party leaving the coalition government?
because the coalition no longer governed the country.
because the two remaining governing parties no longer had a working majority in parliament.
because when a party leaves a coalition, the government falls right away.
because the german chancellor (prime minister) is expected to resign.

Explanation:

In parliamentary - style governments like Germany's, a coalition government requires a working majority in Parliament. When a party leaves the coalition, the remaining governing parties may no longer have that majority. This lack of a majority can lead to a vote of no - confidence, and if passed, it often triggers a general election.

Answer:

Because the two remaining governing parties no longer had a working majority in Parliament.
