Really? Not by any definition I'm familiar with - why do you think it
suggests 'dozens'?
We have a coalition government in Australia (and it's often refered to as
'The Coalition') which consists of only two parties. (And I note that our
coalition members sometimes injure each other with 'friendly fire' too).

Yay! Someone else remembered Australia. (And I bet our prime minister wishes
he was in front of the the press conference with B1 and B2).

Why '"elected"' why not just 'elected'? Are you saying there's something
askew with the electoral process in Australia? (Other than that we managed
to elect a coalition of only two parties, when there should have been
'dozens'?).
