QUÉ SIGNIFICA MAJORITY EN INGLÉS

Mayoria

Majority

La mayoría es un subconjunto de un conjunto formado por más de la mitad de los elementos del conjunto. Esto se puede comparar con una pluralidad, que es un subconjunto más grande que cualquier otro subconjunto considerado; Es decir, una pluralidad no es necesariamente una mayoría, ya que el subconjunto más grande considerado puede consistir en menos de la mitad de los elementos del conjunto. En inglés británico, la mayoría y la pluralidad se usan a menudo como sinónimos, y el término mayoría también se utiliza alternativamente para referirse al margen ganador, es decir, el número de votos que separa al finalizador de primer lugar del finalizador de segundo lugar. Una mayoría puede llamarse mayoría simple para contrastar con otros tipos de mayoría: una mayoría general, en los sistemas parlamentarios, es la diferencia de legisladores entre el gobierno y su oposición; Una mayoría absoluta es la mayoría de todos los electores, no sólo los que votaron; Y una supermajoridad es una mayoría más fuerte que una mayoría simple.

A majority is a subset of a set consisting of more than half of the set's elements. This can be compared to a plurality, which is a subset larger than any other subset considered; i.e. a plurality is not necessarily a majority as the largest subset considered may consist of less than half the set's elements. In British English, majority and plurality are often used as synonyms, and the term majority is also alternatively used to refer to the winning margin, i.e. the number of votes separating the first-place finisher from the second-place finisher. A majority may be called a simple majority to contrast with other types of majority: an overall majority, in parliamentary systems, is the difference of legislators between the government and its opposition; an absolute majority is a majority of all electors, not just those who voted; and a supermajority is a stronger majority than a simple majority.
