Original Note:
A “supermajority”, in its true sense, applies to voting systems in which a higher threshold than a simple majority has been set for certain provisions. No such provisions apply to the House of Commons in the UK so the term is inaccurate and meaningless in the British context. https://theconversation.com/a-british-supermajority-is-nonsense-but-a-labour-landslide-still-has-consequences-232769
