A minority government

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A minority government is possible and has been formed in some countries where no political party gains an absolute majority in an election. However, a minority government tends to be more unstable than one with a majority, as it relies on the support of other parties to pass legislation and can be brought down by a vote of no confidence. This can lead to frequent elections and political uncertainty. Option A is incorrect as minority governments are possible. Option C is incorrect as it implies that minority governments cannot exist in a parliamentary system, while option D is incorrect as it refers to a specific type of political system. Option E is incorrect as some European countries have had minority governments in the past.
