| | Minority government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A minority government or a minority cabinet is a cabinet of a parliamentary system formed by the leading political party when it has won a plurality but not a majority of seats in the parliament. | | | Most recently, in 2004, the Liberals were elected into a minority government; it lasted to the end of 2005, when on 28 November it lost a vote of no confidence and was dissolved the following day. | | | This is because the system heavily biases the vote towards increasing the number of seats of the top two parties and reducing the seats of smaller parties, a principle known in political science as Duverger's Law. |
