Majority Government

A majority government is formed by one or more governing parties holding an absolute majority of seats in a legislature, whether as a single party governing alone or as a coalition of multiple parties. It stands opposite a minority government, which lacks a majority and must cooperate with opposition parties to pass legislation. Whether a government counts as a majority government turns on its own members' seats alone; a government that reaches a majority only by counting outside parties bound to it merely by a confidence-and-supply agreement is not counted as one.
