The term majority is used to indicate the subset of a set or subgroup of a group, containing more than half the members of a group. It is also considered to be synonymous with plurality, which means a subset larger than any other subset, but it may contain less than half members of a group. When it comes to parliamentary terms, overall majority is the difference of majority between the government and its opposition. Majority always has a say in deciding affairs and settling issues in the parliament.
Absolute majority is the majority keeping all the electors in mind, including those who had not even voted. In matters of conscience, you should forget about siding with majority. In the words of Thomas Jefferson, “All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.”
