	Motion of no confidence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A motion of no confidence, also called a motion of non-confidence, a censure motion, or a no-confidence motion, is a parliamentary motion traditionally put before a parliament by the opposition in the hope of defeating or embarrassing a government.
		The motion is passed or rejected by means of a parliamentary vote (a vote of no confidence).
		Thus the Motion of No Confidence is required to be at the same time a Motion of Confidence for a new candidate (this variation is called a Constructive Vote of No Confidence).

	Motion of Confidence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Motion of Confidence is a motion of support proposed by a government in a parliament or other assembly of elected representatives to give members of parliament (or other such assembly) a chance to register their confidence in a government.
		A Motion of Confidence may also be used tactically to humiliate critics of a government (often from the inside of the governing party or parties) who nevertheless dare not vote against the government.
		However, tactical Motions of Confidence are dangerous, as they may backfire catastrophically against those who use them, if they have misjudged the willingness of their opponents to call the proposer's bluff and vote against the motion.

		A motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister may be initiated by a written petition, which includes the nomination for a candidate for the office of Prime Minister (Article 39A of the Constitution).
		Such a motion is considered a motion of no confidence in the government as well.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Motion of no confidence
		Where a government has lost the confidence of the responsible house (i.e., the directly elected lower chamber which can select and dismiss it, though in some states both houses of parliament are responsible) a head of state may have the constitutional right to refuse a request for a parliamentary dissolution, so forcing an immediate resignation.
		In almost all cases, party discipline is sufficient to allow a majority party to defeat a Motion of No Confidence, and if faced with likely defections in the government party, the government is likely to change its policies rather than lose a vote of No Confidence.
		An example of a vote of no confidence in fiction is the vote in Star Wars Episode 1, which puts Palpatine into the chancellorship.

		At a time when all people irrespective of party differences should join hands resolutely to march forward for peace the main objective of the No Confidence Motion presented by the Leader of Opposition Ranil Wickremesinghe is the preservation of his position and existence, said the release.

		The Leader of the Opposition has not moved a motion of no confidence in a premier; he has moved a motion of no confidence in a whole government, a government that is tainted with the corruption stain of the Metherell affair.
		Mr WHELAN (Ashfield) [4.55]: This no confidence motion is not only against the corruption of the former Premier, the corruption of the former Minister for the Environment, or the corruption of the whole Government for its total support for these two people and for their actions.
		This motion is more than that: it is a motion of no confidence in the Government for all its actions and what it stands for, and a motion of no confidence in its economic and financial record.

	MOTION OF CENSURE AND VOTES OF NO CONFIDENCE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		There are reasoned motions that contain recommendations to the Government without giving an expression of confidence in respect of it; pure and simples motions, which the Assembly moves on from to the following item on its agenda, and constructive motions of no confidence whose adoption obligates the Government to resign.
		If the Chamber of Deputies adopts a motion of no confidence without proposing a successor, the monarch may dissolve the Chamber of Deputies at the same time as the motion of no confidence (Article 46 of the Constitution).
		It is likewise customary for the Chamber to adopt a non-constructive motion of no confidence, obligating a particular minister to resign.

		The vote has no legislative clout, but is considered an important symbolic gesture as it is the Senate's first vote of no-confidence in a serving leader in its 102-year history.
		While the motion declared opposition to any unilateral US attack on Iraq, it did not go quite as far as the Greens had hoped.
		And a no-confidence motion similar to that passed in the Senate was defeated in Australia's lower House of Representatives on Wednesday.

		The constructive vote of no confidence (in German: konstruktives Misstrauensvotum) is a specialty of the 1949 German constitution, the Grundgesetz (Basic Law).
		The vote was not as tricky technically as the earlier one since it was clear this time that the FDP wanted to switch over to a coalition with the CDU and was already in negotiations at the time the vote happened.
		The FDP was no longer content with the SPD economic policy, and at the same time the SPD was internally divided over NATO stationing of nuclear missiles in Germany.

		The motion was tabled by the small liberal opposition Yabloko faction and the struggling Communist Party.

		Some analysts and the media speculate that the motion is part of a campaign plan by the struggling Yabloko and Communist blocs to raise their profile ahead of the December 7 Duma elections.

	Lini government prepared to face another motion of no-confidence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Manarewo says while the prime minister respects the democratic rights of the members of parliament to challenge the leadership of any government in office, the opposition should accept that they only have 17 members on their side to 35 on the government side, and should refrain from misleading the nation.
		He says the recent moves by MP for Santo John Lum and the Member for Ambae Dickinson Vusi to quit the opposition block to join the National United Party and the Vanuatu Republican Party respectively, clearly exhibits the fact that the government is gaining strength.
		Meanwhile there is a common general view among public that the continuing attempts by the opposition to submit motions after motions even though they have failed on five attempts, could become an abuse of the democratic rights of the members of parliament to cause unnecessary fear and feeling of national instability.

	SCR No 2 of 1976; Re Motion of No [1976] PNGLR 228 (2nd June, 1976)
		Pokwari Kale, for the Parliament: A motion of no confidence cannot be moved during the life of this Parliament without coming to a stalemate as to the alternative consequences of a motion being passed.
		For the sake of brevity, such a motion is referred to throughout as a “motion of no confidence in the Government”.
		It is thus clear that a no confidence motion, the provisions for which are to be found in that subdivision, is one procedure designed by the Constitution to enable the Parliament to bring about a general election or a change in the Government.

		I move that this House has no confidence in the Government led by Helen Clark because she leads a political party that has shamelessly ransacked the public purse to fund its election campaigns and has absolutely no coherent programme to lift the living standards of all New Zealanders.
		No, not the prospect of an imminent slowdown of the economy, and quite possibly a recession, though that will undoubtedly hurt the many thousands of people who will lose their jobs.
		No, the real crisis is that the gap between after-tax incomes in New Zealand and those in Australia has got markedly wider in the six years since Labour came to office in 1999.

		TOKYO — Japanese opposition parties tabled a no-confidence motion against the cabinet of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi Friday in a bid to delay the passage of a bill allowing Japanese troops to be sent to Iraq.
