Constructive Motion of No Confidence as a Tool for Parliamentary Control of Government: the Czech Republic in a European Comparison

Summary/Abstract: This study presents constructive censure as an element used to strengthen the stability of Governments in parliamentary regimes. It analyses its strengths and weaknesses and use in the political systems of European countries. An analysis of the draft amendment to the Constitution of the Czech Republic, presented by the Czech Government in the spring of 2012, is then put to this framework. Although the Chamber of Deputies had been dissolved in the meantime and the discussion of the draft had not been completed, it was the first and so far only legislative proposal to address the instability of Governments.
