    Google search for "majority": noun 1. the greater number. "in the majority of cases all will go smoothly" Also, from your link: > use of this term is inconsistent as it sometimes refers to a mere plurality (as opposed to an absolute majority)

    They are both majorities, except one is absolute (more than 50%) and the other one isn't (more than anyone else, but not over 50%).
