| The party is a member of Liberal International and the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party. |
| Although the party is relatively weak, yielding between 5 and 10 % of the votes in elections, it has participated in all but three postwar federal governments in coalitions with the CDU (conservatives) and SPD (social-democratic) and has spent only eight years out of government since 1949. |
| Still, the party tends to do especially well in areas where people are more well off, and in times when the CDU is not popular among the voters. |
