The Fortieth National Assembly (Bulgarian: Четиридесетото народно събрание) was a convocation of the National Assembly of Bulgaria, formed according to the results of the parliamentary elections in Bulgaria, held on 25 June 2005.^[1]

History

The 40th National Assembly elected the Stanishev Government, which was a triple coalition government between the BSP, the NDSV and the DPS.^[2] During the four years of its term, the 40th National Assembly saw Bulgaria become a member of the European Union.^[3]

The 40th National Assembly, like the preceding 39th was highly fragmented and saw the collapse and emergence of several new parties and groups. As a result, since 2009 MPs have been forbidden from forming new groups or joining existing ones.^[4] MPs are only allowed to sit in either their original groups or as independents.

Attack

The Attack parliamentary group was particularly unstable with many expulsions and defections. By November 2007, only 11 of the 21 MPs remained in the group, one more than the minimum number required.^[5] In the runup to the 2009 election 2 further MPs left due to disagreements with the electoral lists, resulting in the collapse of the group.^[6]

BNS

The BNS coalition remained stable for most of the Assembly's term, however in 2008 VMRO and ZNS formed an electoral alliance with the extra-parliamentary Lider party and rebranded the caucus as "Movement Forward", resulting in the defection of 5 (SSD and ZNS) MPs, leaving the group under 10 members.^[7] They were supplemented by the 2 DG MPs who left ODS to join the new group.^[8] However, as Lider left the alliance in April 2009^[9] the group's parties and MPs mostly joined the electoral alliance and parliamentary group of RZS on the last day of the Assembly.^[10]

ODS

ODS suffered internal tensions after a number of underperformances (in particular the 2006 Presidential, 2007 EU and 2007 local elections). In 2005 ODS expelled the DP and its 3 MPs.^[11] In 2009 following the announcement of the formation of the Blue Coalition, a number of MPs left the group to join RZS, leaving ODS with only the minimum required 10 members.^[12]^[13]

NDSV

In early 2008 17 MPs left NDSV and founded the BND party and parliamentary group^[14]
