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.
Imagine that Tennessee is having an election on the location of its capital. The population of Tennessee is concentrated around its four major cities, which are spread throughout the state. For this example, suppose that the entire electorate lives in these four cities, and that everyone wants to live as near to the capital as possible.

Era un jueves de invierno tan frío como aburrido;
tuve que salir solo, me fallaron los amigos.
Pero la noche sabe que, aunque me apriete el frío,
siempre le he sido fiel de lunes a domingo.
Hoy quisiera encontrar buena conversación,
un cuerpo de mujer, una copa de amor.
Si no cierras el bar, abro mi corazón,
te invito a pasear con la luna de farol.
Contaremos las estrellas,
perderemos la cabeza…
prohibido mirar el reloj.
Tú te quitas la ropa,
yo acabo majareta
y te regalo una canción.
Esquivaremos el sol.
Y ahora, dónde estoy?; me ha despertado el sol.
Entró por la ventana, me ha pillado a traición.
Quién es esta mujer? Dónde está mi habitación?
-Hola, cómo te llamas?
