votes of no confidence
Leadership trust withdrawals
Votes of no confidence are formal declarations by a legislative body that it no longer supports the government or a leader.
In parliamentary systems, a successful vote of no confidence typically forces the prime minister or cabinet to resign or triggers new elections.
The phrase extends to any collective withdrawal of support: The board's vote of no confidence forced the CEO out.
