The '''Liberal–National Coalition''', commonly known simply as '''the Coalition'''<ref>{{cite news |last1=Smith |first1=Alexandra |title=Marriage of inconvenience: Can the NSW Coalition survive life in opposition? |url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...rvive-life-in-opposition-20230509-p5d71f.html |access-date=28 April 2024 |work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |publisher=[[Nine Entertainment|Nine Publishing]] |date=10 May 2023 |language=en}}</ref>, is an [[parliamentary group|alliance]] of [[Centre-right politics|centre-right]] to [[Right-wing politics|right-wing]] political parties that forms one of the two major groupings in [[Politics of New South Wales|New South Wales politics]]. The two partners in the Coalition are the [[New South Wales Liberal Party]] and the [[New South Wales National Party]]. Its main opponent is the [[New South Wales Labor Party]] (ALP); the two forces are often regarded as operating in a [[two-party system]]. The Coalition was last in government from 2011 to 2023. The group is led by [[Mark Speakman]], who succeeded [[Dominic Perrottet]] after the [[2023 New South Wales state election|2023 state election]].
The two parties in the Coalition have different geographical [[political base|voter bases]], with the Liberals – the larger party – drawing most of their vote from urban areas and the Nationals operating almost exclusively in rural and regional areas. They occupy a broadly similar place on the right of the [[political spectrum]].
The partnership between the two current parties dates back to 1946, shortly after the Liberal Party was formed, and has continued almost uninterrupted since then. The Country Party also maintained similar alliances with the Liberal Party's predecessors, the [[Democratic Party (1943)|Democratic Party]], the [[United Australia Party]] and [[Nationalist Party (Australia)|Nationalist Party]].
The Liberals and Nationals maintain separate organisational wings and separate [[caucus|parliamentary parties]], but co-operate in various ways determined by a mixture of formal agreements and informal conventions. There is a single Coalition [[frontbencher|frontbench]], both in government and in [[Opposition (New South Wales)|opposition]], with each party receiving a proportionate number of positions.
By convention, the leader of the Liberal Party serves as the overall leader, serving as [[Premier of New South Wales|Premier]] when the Coalition is in government and [[Leader of the Opposition (New South Wales)|leader of the opposition]] when the Coalition is in opposition. The leader of the National Party becomes the [[Deputy Premier of New South Wales|deputy premier]] during periods of Coalition government. The two parties co-operate on their election campaigns, run joint [[New South Wales Legislative Council|Legislative Council]] tickets in most states, and generally avoid running candidates against each other in the [[New South Wales Legislative Assembly]].
A merger of the Liberals and Nationals has been suggested on a number of occasions, but has never become a serious proposition.
==History==
A Coalition between the [[New South Wales Liberal Party|Liberal]] (and predecessors) and [[New South Wales National Party|National]] parties has existed without interruption in [[New South Wales]] since 1927. Predecessors of the NSW Liberal Party, including the UAP, Nationalist Party and the [[Democratic Party (1943)|Democratic Party]], maintained a coalition with the Country Party (old name of National Party).
The Liberal Party is led by [[Mark Speakman]] and the National Party by [[Dugald Saunders]]. The Coalition won the [[2011 New South Wales state election|2011 state election]] in a massive swing under [[Barry O'Farrell]], the [[2015 New South Wales state election|2015 election]] with a reduced majority under [[Mike Baird]], and the [[2019 New South Wales state election|2019 election]] under Gladys Berejiklian. The Coalition led by [[Dominic Perrottet]] lost the [[2023 New South Wales state election|2023 state election]] and is in opposition since.
New South Wales is the only state where the non-Labor Coalition has never broken, and yet has also never merged. This remained the case even in 2011, when the Liberals won a majority in their own right but still retained the Coalition. On 10 September 2020, the Nationals threatened to move to the crossbench over a dispute regarding [[koala]] protection laws,<ref>{{cite news |title=NSW Government in turmoil as 'betrayed' Nationals effectively leave Coalition over koala bill |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09...n-barilaro-says-nationals-will-leave/12648966 |access-date=10 September 2020 |work=www.abc.net.au |date=10 September 2020 |language=en-AU}}</ref> but the issue was resolved the next day and the Nationals remained in the Coalition.
