The term majority government may also be used for a stable coalition of two or more parties to form an absolute majority. One example of such an electoral coalition is in Australia , where the Liberal Party of Australia Liberal and National Party of Australia National parties have run as an electoral bloc for decades. Another example is the current coalition government in the United Kingdom , which is composed of the Conservative and Liberal Democratic parties. The conservatives won the most seats of any single party in the 2010 election, but fell short of an absolute majority. However, by combining with the Liberal Democrats a solid majority in the House of Commons was created. This is the first true coalition government in the UK since World War II .
