Editing Electoral threshold (section)

===Coalitions due to electoral thresholds===
There has been cases of attempts to circumvent thresholds:
* Slovakia, [[1998 Slovak parliamentary election|1998]]. [[Slovak Democratic Coalition]] ran as a single political party to help its component parties get over the threshold.
* Turkey, [[2007 Turkish general election|2007]] and [[2011 Turkish general election|2011]]. The [[Democratic Society Party|DTP]]/[[Peace and Democracy Party|BDP]]-led [[Thousand Hope Candidates]] and [[Labour, Democracy and Freedom Bloc]] only gained 3.81 percent (2007) and 5.67 percent (2011) of the vote not crossing the 10 percent threshold but because they ran as independents they won 22 and 36 seats.
* Poland, [[2019 Polish parliamentary election|2019]]. After the United Left and KORWiN failed to cross the thresholds in 2015 both of them with their new alliances bypassed the coalition threshold by either running under [[Democratic Left Alliance (Poland)|SLD]] label ([[The Left (Poland)|Lewica]]) or registering their alliance as a party itself ([[Confederation Liberty and Independence|Confederation]]). Similarly to Lewica, the [[Polish Coalition]] ran under [[Polish People's Party]] label. Lewica and Polish Coalition would have crossed the coalition threshold of 8 percent with 12.56 percent and 8.55 percent respectively while Confederation only gained 6.81 percent of the vote.
* Czechia, [[2021 Czech legislative election|2021]]. The [[Tricolour Citizens' Movement|Tricolour]]–[[Svobodní]]–[[Freeholder Party of the Czech Republic|Soukromníci]] alliance tried to bypass the coalition threshold by renaming Tricolour to include the names of their partners but they only received 2.76 percent, failing to cross the usual 5 percent threshold.
