The correct answer is Lame duck. A political party becomes a Lame duck party when it has lost its power due to the arrival of a party holding the majority in the senate, congress or government. They are also considered Lame duck parties due to the short time they have left in the current term. They help the government serving as an ally to cooperate with their efforts to pass and implement legislation. However, they can also work in opposition to the new government.
