[[File:Composition of the House of Commons after the February 1974 election.svg|thumb|right|230px|The [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom]] after the [[February 1974 United Kingdom general election|February 1974 election]]. It is an example of a hung parliament. The [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] [[government]] (bottom) does not have a [[majority]] of seats, so it is a hung parliament. They did not make any agreement with other parties, so they had to start a [[minority government]].]] A '''hung parliament''' (also called a '''balanced parliament''', or as a [[legislature]] under '''no overall control''') is when no [[political party]] (or [[coalition]] that existed before) has a [[majority]] in the [[Westminster system]] of [[legislature]]s. If this isn't solved with something like a [[confidence and supply]] agreement or a new [[coalition]], the largest party will have to form a [[minority government]]. This is bad because they can easily lose a [[vote of no confidence]], so a [[government]] is hard to run.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/may/05/minority-government-electoral-reform-editorial|location=London|work=The Guardian|title=Balanced parliament: No need to rush|date=2010-05-05}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/election_2010/scotland/8630998.stm|work=BBC News|title=SNP puts case for hung parliament|date=2010-04-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://in.reuters.com/article/idINIndia-48305720100507|work=Reuters|title=Q+A - What happens if no party gets a majority in UK election?|date=May 7, 2010|access-date=December 13, 2020|archive-date=July 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180716025433/https://in.reuters.com/article/idINIndia-48305720100507|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/dec/04/hung-parliament-minority-coalition-government|location=London|work=The Guardian|title=Hung up on 'no overall control'|first=Akash|last=Paun|date=2009-12-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|ur
