Partys, in order to avoid complete control, are encouraged by means of better control in government, to join a 'Coalition', which acts as a secondary party voter. Which in, your parties placement in the running, determines a set amount of sets out of 10 that your party gains for your coalition. Then your coalition gets to add extra votes in parliament.
