Build a coalitionOpen to select partners and compare paths to a majority

Illustrative partner groups, not coalition agreements. A seat majority means having the numbers; it does not announce a government. The threshold includes any overhang.

Build a possible majority

Select parties to add their published seats. This shows the arithmetic, not a prediction of who will govern together.

Seat arithmetic, updated with the count

The paths to a majority

Follow different arrangements, their current seats, the majority target and which extra partners could bridge the gap. These are scenarios, not promises or predicted agreements.

ArrangementSeatsCurrent positionWho needs what?Political context

Short on the current count does not mean mathematically eliminated. Uncounted party votes, special votes, threshold crossings and overhang can change the whole seat allocation. We have no verified remaining-vote bounds, so do not declare that a route is impossible. A minority government can also govern with confidence-and-supply support; a strict seat majority is the comparison used here, not the only constitutional route.
