no confidence
Complete lack of trust
No confidence is the formal judgment that a leader or government has lost the trust needed to remain in power.
A vote of no confidence is a parliamentary procedure that can force resignation or trigger new elections.
Outside politics, expressing no confidence signals complete loss of faith in someone's competence: The board has no confidence in current management.
