In Alberta 1921 the United Farmers won a majority government despite trailing 34-29 to the liberals.
Come to think of it, 29% is the lowest vote % that has gotten a party a majority of seats in any election I can think of.

Yeah, now I'm remembering. Bolivia '89 was particularly famous and horrible. A non sensical congressional coalition of left and right was formed to oust the centrist candidate.
Who did the left and right agree on? Another centrist candidate?
