What signifies a majority government?

When the party in power has all seats in the House of Commons
When the party in power holds at least half of the seats in the House of Commons
When there are no opposition parties
When the party in power holds less than half of the seats in the House of Commons

The correct answer is: When the party in power holds at least half of the seats in the House of Commons

A majority government is formed when the party in power holds at least half of the seats in the House of Commons. This means that they have the majority of members and can pass laws and make decisions without support from other parties. Option A is incorrect because having all seats in the House of Commons is not necessary for a majority government. Option C is incorrect because there are usually always opposition parties in the House of Commons. Option D is incorrect because having less than half of the seats would not constitute a majority.
