A majority in the house is where one political party or a coalition of parties hold the balance of power in the upper or lower house of parliament. It basically means that they have more people in their party than the opposition, meaning that they can pass legislature without it being blocked or ammended. an example is the Howard Government of Australia from 2004-2007 where the Liberal party had they majority in the senate and the lower house, thus, he could pass the 'Work Choices' act without the ALP blocking it.
