The
constructive vote of no confidence (in German:
konstruktives Misstrauensvotum, in Spanish:
moción de censura constructiva) is a variation on the
motion of no confidence which allows a
parliament to withdraw confidence from a
head of government only if there is a positive majority for a prospective successor. The concept was invented in
West Germany, but is today also used in other nations, such as Spain, Hungary, Lesotho, Israel, Poland, Slovenia, Albania and Belgium.
