The majority party is the party to which the most representatives or senators belong. The other party is the minority party.

On October 10, 2007: Senate majority floor leader is a Democrat; Senate minority floor leader is a Republican. This may or may not change in the near future. The answer depends on which party held the most seats after the last election; if any senators died in office and were replaced by their home state Governor - who may or may not be from the dead senator's political party; if a senator happens to switch political parties after election (which has hapened).
Senate Majority Leader. He is technically outranked by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, who is traditionally the most senior member of the majority party in the Senate (and is third in the line of succession after the Vice President and the Speaker of the House). However, the Senate Majority Leader wields much more actual power.
The Vice President is not a part of the House of Representatives. The Vice President is Chairman of the Senate. The leader of the House of Representatives is called the Speaker of the House. He is the most prominent member of the majority party. Beneath him is the Whip Majority Leader, or the Representative who presides over the House's meetings in the Speaker's absence. The minority party also has a leader and whip leader; by tradition, these would instantly become the Speaker and Whip Majority Leader if, in the next election, the minority party became the majority.

Each of our political parties elect a leader orreaffirm their current leader at a party convention. When an election is called each party leader runs in their own riding and nation wide. After the votes are in, each riding counts the ballots and the win goes to the person with the most votes. At the end the party with the most elected candidates wins and the leader of that party becomes Prime Minister. The leader of the party with the second most votes becomes the Leader of the Official Opposition.
If you are the leader of your party or your party has the most seats, you are appointed to being premier.
