The candidate who gets the most votes is Prime Minister and forms the Government. The others form the opposition. Each group is awarded a proportion of seats in Parliament equivalent to their proportion of the vote (e.g. if the winner got 50% of the vote they get half the seats etc). It is up to each candidate to decide who gets the seats from their list. They may add others if needed but equally they must lose some if they got too few seats. If the largest party has less than 50% of the seats they can either form a minority government or try and form a coalition with another party.
