No Confidence

No Confidence Our system has failed us. The influx of corporate money, lobbyists, loose campaign regulations, and political advertising has eroded the foundations.

A no confidence vote is a motion brought forward in a legislative body by the opposition party. It is usually used as a tool to undermine the majority party, and can also be used to remove people from office, depending on the system of government. The motion is a very serious political event, as it suggests a lack of faith in the current government and a desire to change it before the next scheduled election. This type of vote is most common in parliamentary democracies. In the United States, this type of vote is merely a symbolic act, although actions may be taken if an official or government fails such a vote. It does alert the populace and the government to a problem, which can be very important. In other countries, a government can be removed as a result of a vote of no confidence, usually through dissolving the current parliament and holding a special election. In other nations, it is possible to hold a constructive vote of no confidence, which means that the motion includes a recommendation for a successor.
