Question: 1 / 1030

What is the consequence of a government losing a confidence vote in the assembly?

It must resign

A government losing a confidence vote in the assembly means that the majority of the assembly members have expressed that they no longer have confidence in the current government to govern effectively. Therefore, the government must resign as a consequence. This is because the government is formed based on the confidence and support of the assembly, and without it, they can no longer continue to lead. This differs from option B, which suggests that the government serves for a shorter term. This is incorrect as the government would not be able to continue in office at all after losing a confidence vote. Option C, calling for immediate elections, is also incorrect as the government must first resign and cannot call for elections while still in power. Option D, no consequence, is also incorrect as the government would no longer be able to continue in their role and would need to be replaced.
