2009
On 15 May 2012 the Union of Democratic Forces National Council voted 49-34 to leave the Blue Coalition and stand alone in the next parliamentary elections. This move came after negotiations between the two major powers of the coalition, SDS and DSB, concluded that the coalition must be dissolved.[12] With the SDS out of the coalition, the DBS decided to run alone, bringing the Blue Coalition to an end.[13] This move worried some as polls suggested neither of the two parties would be capable of crossing the 4% threshold in the upcoming election.
