| | Constructive vote of no confidence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The dissolution of the Bundestag by President Horst Köhler was upheld by the Constitutional Court, affirming its ruling in 1983. | | | The constructive vote of no confidence (in German: konstruktives Misstrauensvotum) is a specialty of the 1949 German constitution, the Grundgesetz (Basic Law). | | | In 2005, Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, after a string of defeats of his party, the SPD, in state elections also used a staged loss of a motion of confidence to call for early elections. |

| | Should a motion of no confidence be adopted, the Prime Minister resigns along with his/her cabinet. | | | The vote on the motion of no confidence must be taken immediately after the end of the debate. | | | Over the last years, two motions of censure against the Government (1993 and 1996), and two motions against individual ministers (1999 and 2001) have been tabled in the parliament, but all were rejected. |

| | The nub of the case in this no confidence debate is the Cabinet's collective responsibility for the corruption represented by the Metherell appointment. | | | This Government lacks the confidence of the people of this State because the new Premier is showing no authority - not over his deputy, not over the honourable member for Vaucluse and not over his own tainted and scandalous backbench. | | | The people of New South Wales have no confidence in the Fahey Government, which is the illegitimate child of the Metherell affair, conceived in an act of corruption. |
