Minority Parliament

A Minority Parliament occurs when the political party or coalition holding the most seats in a legislature does not have an outright majority, meaning they lack more than half of all seats. In such situations, their ability to pass legislation depends on gaining support from other parties or members. This often leads to negotiations and alliances, requiring the governing party to work with others to maintain stability and implement policies. Minority parliaments are common in parliamentary systems and can lead to more negotiated, consensus-driven governance.
