Obje stranke su prošle loše na parlamentarnim izborima 2005, koji su doveli do sadašnje koalicije pod vodstvom BSP-a, a koja obuhvaća i Nacionalni pokret za Simeona II (NMSII) i Pokret za prava i slobode (MRF).
Both faired poorly in the 2005 parliamentary elections that produced the current BSP-led ruling coalition, including also the National Movement for Simeon II (NMSII) and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF).
