Jamaica coalition (politics)

"Can you really see [CDU and CSU leaders] Angela Merkel and Edmund Stoiber sitting round the table in dreadlocks?"

This move was partly prompted by desire to prevent an SPD minority government in Saarland dependent upon support from Die Linke.

[4] After the SPD initially announced their return to opposition, it became the only viable coalition that didn't involve Alternative for Germany.

[6] Another nickname for this coalition is black traffic light (German: Schwarze Ampel or the portmanteau word Schwampel).

[8][9] The term has been adopted from German politics, even though the colors of the Belgian parties in question (orange, blue and green, respectively) do not correspond to those of the Jamaican flag.
