i think franz von papen, one of the last chancellors of the weimar republic, should also be included here: his goverment was defeated by a 512 margin against 42 on september 12 1932 (assiryan).

I would add Wales 2000 (Alun Michael) See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/636088.stm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.78.17.162 (talk) 10:44, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Helmut Kohl lost a vote of confidence on 17 December 1982 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmut_Kohl#Rise_to_power), so I've added him under "Germany". While this was the desired outcome (members of the government parties abstained) the same is true for Schroeder in 2005. Carolus m (talk) 13:06, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But in Canada, didn't Harper win the ensuing election and isn't he now Prime Minister of Canada? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.216.200.178 (talk) 09:33, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, misread the sentence about Harper in Canada. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.216.200.178 (talk) 09:37, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that US President Richard Nixon was impeached; I don't think this is correct. Although articles of impeachment were voted out of (approved by) the House Judiciary Committee, they were not acted on by the full House of Representatives before Nixon resigned in the summer of 1974. One is not technically "impeached" until there has been a vote to that effect of the full House of Representatives. Karn (talk) 02:22, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

vote of no confidence vs. failed vote of confidence[edit]

I just wanted to ask whether you really meant to include prime ministers who weren't actually defeated by vote of no confidence, but they actually didn't get confidence during first vote of confidence?

To point out actual situation, in Czech Republic section there is twice Topolánek and Rusnok, while only Toponálek's 2nd cabinet was defeated by vote of no confidence (actually first and only such happening in history of the Czech republic, none other vote of no confidence was ever successful), while his 1st cabinet as well as Rusnok's cabinet just didn't get enough support in its first vote of confidence.

The outcome si mostly the same => the prime minister and his government has to resign, but still it shouldn't IMHO be included in this list, or at least it should be mentioned, whether it is the first or the second option. As vote of no confidence which passes shows "bigger problem" inside the government than failed vote of confidence - in the end the government is defeated AFTER it was already agreed upon before, while losing the vote of confidence means that the government just didn't get the needed support ight from the start.

Actually, at least in Czech Republic, the vote of confidence is obligatory after the government is sworn in, but any other vote of confidence is happening only at governmenet's own request (usually after cabinet reshuffles or big dramas, just to see whether it can still continue to govern) - still if this vote fails, the government still has to resign.

=>So summarized, I would stand up for writing at least notes or short sentences to each name in the list with more description about the current vote, as right now as it is, the lsit can be pretty much misleading. GuestOneR (talk) 11:43, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
