| | Minority group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In politics, a minority government may be one which is formed by a party with a plurality of seats in the national legislature, when no majority party exists. | | | The issue of establishing minority groups, and determining the extent of privileges they might derive from their status, is controversial. | | | Countries that have special provisions for minorities include China, Germany, India, Russia, and the United Kingdom (which does maintain the concept of a British supra-nation, however). |

| | Minority government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | These countries are thus usually ruled either by coalitions of parties, or by minority cabinets. | | | They must then either form a coalition with one or more existing parties, or they must win enough support from the other parties or independents to avoid no-confidence motions. | | | This is also common in Canada where parties can rarely cooperate enough to form a coalition, but will have loose agreements. |
