Question

Which of the following statements about the No-Confidence Motion are correct?

P: No-confidence Motion expresses a lack of confidence in the Parliament.

Q: No-confidence in the government is moved by the Opposition.

R: If the Motion is passed, the government has to resign.

S: If the Motion is not passed, the Opposition party/parties take back the Motion.

Options

• P and Q

• Q and R

• P and R

• R and S

Answer 1

Q and R

Explanation:

A No-Confidence Motion expresses lack of confidence in the government, not Parliament, so P is partly incorrect. It is moved by the Opposition, and if passed, the government is required to resign or dissolve. Hence, only Q and R correctly describe its procedure and outcome.
