What is the concept of plurality in the house and how does it impact decision-making processes within the legislative body?

Plurality in the house refers to the presence of multiple political parties or groups within the legislative body. This diversity can impact decision-making processes by requiring negotiation and compromise to reach consensus on issues, as no single party may have a majority to pass legislation on its own. This can lead to more thorough debate and consideration of different perspectives, but also potentially slow down the legislative process.


How many votes needed to win if 175 voters with 8 candidates?

Winning a majority of the votes means winning more than 50% of the total votes cast. If winning requires a "majority", a candidate needs 88 votes. Winning a plurality of the votes means less than 50 percent but more than any other candidate. If winning requires a "plurality", a candidate needs more votes than any of the other 7 candidates.


Provide a system for how leaders are chosen?

Leaders can be chosen through a democratic process where individuals vote for their preferred candidate. Another system is appointment, in which leaders are selected by existing leaders or a governing body. Additionally, leaders can emerge through meritocracy, where individuals are chosen based on their skills, knowledge, and experience in a particular field.


What are the disadvantages of a minority government?

Theorists who disapprove of coalition governments believe that such governments have a tendency to be fractious and prone to disharmony. This is because coalitions would necessarily include different parties with differing beliefs and who, therefore, may not always agree on the correct path for governmental policy. Sometimes the results of an election are such that the coalitions which are mathematically most probable are ideologically unfeasible, such as in Flanders or Northern Ireland. A second difficulty might be the ability of minor parties to play "kingmaker" and, particularly in close elections, gain far more for their support than their vote would otherwise indicate. Additionally, existing, powerful parties can use their leverage in coalition to hinder the growth and formation of new parties by forming alliances without them.
