What happens if a majority of the House of Commons members vote against a major government decision?

The decision is automatically vetoed
The Prime Minister resigns immediately
The party in power is defeated and an election may be called
Nothing, the decision stands

The correct answer is: The party in power is defeated and an election may be called

If a majority of the House of Commons members vote against a major government decision, it means that the party in power does not have enough support from its own members to pass the decision. This can lead to a vote of no confidence, where the opposition party can call for a new election. In this scenario, the government can either try to win back support from its own members or could potentially face a loss of power in the next election. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it explains the potential outcome of a majority vote against a government decision. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the consequences of a majority vote against a government decision.
