[edit] Alliance

What's the difference in general, if any, between "coalition" and "alliance"? A wiki search on the two gives fundamentally different results. 195.24.29.51 14:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC) coalition is also the name of a punk rock band. who have been together now for about a month (they rock it) Will someone ad to this? (anonomus)

Well an alliance is any general agreement between two actors/organisations/parties, in politics a coalition is specific and refers to the sharing of power between two parties. For instance two political parties might come to an "alliance" where they agree to support each other's proposals in parliament, but a coalition would be the two parties joining together to create a government.
