Talk:Constructive vote of no confidence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Now that Israel cancelled the direct prime-ministerial elections and returned to it's old system (in 2001), the vote of no confidence was changed to be constructive. The Knesset, in order to dissolve the government, must now offer an alternative government. I believe this change should be added to this article, as well as Constructive Votes of No Confidence in other countries besides Germany (if such exist). If there are no objections or alternative suggstions, I'll add this info myself in a few days.
- Government of Wales Act 2006 s 47(2)(b)&(3) also stipulated a similar requirement. I think this should also be added to the article.
[edit] No Constructive vote of no confidence in 2005
It is not right that there was a constructive vote of no confidence in 2005. It was a vote of confidence (Vertrauensfrage) because there was no other contestant the deputies could vote. Furthermore, after a constructive vote of no confidence, the president must not dissolve the Bundestag. A dissolving can just happen if the chancellor asks the president to do so after a lost Vertrauensfrage.
