英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A parliament in which no single political party has an outright majority.
    — The likelihood of a hung parliament—that is, a parliament in which no single party enjoys an overall majority—is far greater today than it was, for example, in the 1950s. This is primarily because there are now more MPs from the minority parties.
