With a minority government, a party holds the most seats, but not enough to pass laws on their own. A minority government can't make decisions alone and must negotiate with other parties. If the minority government can't get support on key votes, they may be forced to call an election, potentially resulting in another minority or a new majority government. In short, a minority government requires a lot of compromise and collaboration to stay in power. Are you happy with the election results? Yes
