Notes 1) Numbers in parentheses represent the number of seats held. Independent deputies are included only when parties that they form return to parliament in subsequent elections. 2) Parties shown are those had representation in parliament or which split from or merged with parties which had representation in parliament. 3) Thick lines mark periods of parliamentary representation in the parliament. The width of the line is proportional to the number of deputies (listed in parentheses). 4) Hairlines mark periods during which parties had no representation in parliament. 5) Asterisks mark periods of participation in government (except for brief 1994 government including ADSR, APR, NDS, SDL and KDH.)
