Allende's coalition: "socialist" majority or "socialist" minority?

[Die Neue Zeit]

Before former Chilean president Salvador Allende was ousted by a military coup in 1973, was his coalition a "socialist" majority or a "socialist" minority? I would like to know to further debunk a "democratic socialist" argument in the early 1920s about specifically "socialist" majority coalitions being able to implement their policies without backlash elsewhere in the state apparatus.

"Socialists" were a minority in votes and parliament, and arguably a minority within their own coalition:

Results for Chilean parliamentary elections, 1969 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilean_parliamentary_election,_1969)
Results for Chilean parliamentary elections, 1973 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilean_parliamentary_election,_1973)

That's Wikipedia so, of course, some caution would be recommended.
