Can you explain the relevant rules of the British general election and what is the so-called non-majority parliament?

I’ll try to explain it, I don’t know if it’s right.

1. The British Parliament is divided into the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

2. The power is mainly concentrated in the House of Commons (legislation, supervision of the government can only wait)

3. The 650 seats in the House of Commons are elected, and each seat represents one Constituency, each constituency will have candidates from different political parties running for election, and local MPs (MP: membership of parliment) will be elected by people with British citizenship.

4, these 650 MPs The House of Commons, and the new government will be formed by the party that holds absolute seats in the House of Commons (more than half of 650, or 326 seats). Generally, the leader of the party (chief executive) will serve as the prime minister - the Queen Appoint (formally) and then form a cabinet, which is the main part of the government

5. If each participating party has less than this number of seats, it will become a hung parliament, a parliament without a majority. (Hang parliment), the problem with this situation is that no matter which party forms the government, its bills in parliament will not be guaranteed to be passed 100%. This will cause endless debates and make the government unable to operate (there is such a premature failure in British history government, please check separately)

6. The election results on May 6 this year became a hung parliament. Therefore, no single party can form a government. In this way, on the 7th, Conservative Party leader Cameron and the Liberal Democratic Party The party leaders began to contact and discuss the formation of a coalition government, so that the two parties would have more than half of the seats. However, the conflict between the two parties' governing platforms, as well as the arrangements after the formation of the government and the distribution of rights, all require the two parties to negotiate. An agreement is reached, and if it cannot be reached, a coalition government cannot be formed. If no party(s) can complete the process, then there will be a new election.

Personal opinion: It is estimated that the Liberal Democratic Party and the Conservative Party will definitely get married. I only hope to give the Chinese some preferential treatment in immigration policy!

Bless us! All the best,
