This is born out of musings around coalition governments that arise from the party with the most votes not achieving ≥50% of the votes (as opposed to emergency coalitions).
Taking the figures below how would one go about determining all the possible combinations of parties who combined have >50% of the votes without sitting down and working them out one by one?
