A political majority refers to a situation where a particular group or party holds more than half of the seats or votes in a legislative body or decision-making process. This majority allows the group to influence or control the outcome of votes, policies, and laws. For example, in a parliament, a party needs to secure a majority of seats to form a government. Majorities can be classified as simple or supermajorities. A simple majority requires more than half of the votes, while a supermajority may require a higher threshold, such as two-thirds. Achieving a political majority is crucial for implementing a party's agenda and ensuring stability in governance.
