Majority Coalitions

Majority Coalitions is a legislative coalition that belongs to the class of governing alliances formed when a set of political parties or actors unite to collectively hold more than half of the decision-making seats or votes in a legislative body, thereby securing the capacity to pass legislation or sustain a government, distinguished from minority or surplus coalitions by its self-sufficiency in achieving majority status without external support.
