Vote of no confidence
A vote of no confidence (also variously called a motion of no confidence, no confidence motion, motion of confidence or vote of confidence) is a statement or vote about whether a person in a position of responsibility in a micronational government continues to be seen fit to hold their position. Votes of no confidence can be advisory or binding, depending on the constitutional context in which they take place; in some micronations and micronational organisations, such as the Grand Unified Micronational, a successful vote of no confidence removes the targeted individual from office immediately.
In Baustralia
In Baustralia, certain positions in His Royal Government such as that of the Prime Minister or Speaker of the House of Commons, require that Parliament have confidence in these members. If confidence is lost, such offices would not run efficiently.
The only occurrence of a vote of no confidence was in 2019 against the government of Lord John Timpson by Worker's leader Aidan McGrath. By the dismissal of the House, they had approved it by a vote of 7 to 6. Sir John resigned and McGrath became the second Prime Minister of Baustralia.
In Leprechia
In Leprechia, the Leprechian Citizenship Crisis saw the King of Leprechia attempt to complete a vote of no confidence against the Leader of the Leprechian Equality Party (LEP) on the position of citizenship. The King argued that a vote of no confidence against the LEP's citizenship was justified. The LEP however said otherwise.
The 2022 LEP v. KL Case in Leprechia saw the LEP win back his citizenship. This served as a point of argument against the King of Leprechia in future debates. To ensure the security of all citizens citizenships, the LEP introduced the Revolutionary Pact where by if one member is removed of their citizenship or leaves themselves, all members of the pact must also leave.
In Medici
In Islamic Republic of Medici, Prime Minister, Martin Van Klerk has lost vote of no confidence because of his bad ways of ruling. Martin doesn't want to resign from his position, thus making current political situation in Medici very unstable.
In the Grand Unified Micronational
Officers of the Executive and Supreme Court of the Grand Unified Micronational are subject to removal from office by a vote of no confidence. As such, they practically retain office for the duration of their term and for as long as they retain the confidence of the Quorum of Delegates, the GUM's supreme legislative body.
The most recent successful vote of no confidence was against Supreme Justice Abrams Wiucki-Dunswed on 31 January 2022, who was removed for his role in removing around 2,000 people from the MicroWiki@Discord server. Votes of no confidence, however, generally do not lead to formal proceedings; either the vote is dismissed outright on legal grounds or the targeted officer chooses to resign.
In the Cupertino Alliance
Officers of the Government and the Superior Court of the Cupertino Alliance are subject to removal from office by a confidence motion (formally an "act of no confidence").
There have been two types of confidence motion in the Cupertino Alliance; impeachment, which could be filed against members of the judiciary and which required a trial organised by the Superior Court, and motions of no confidence, which were issued against ministers and the Chair and which require 70% of the Cupertino Alliance Parliament to approve to pass. Impeachment was later removed as a tool for removing judges, and under the current Charter all officers are subject to motions of no confidence.
The most recent successful vote of no confidence was filed against Minister for Membership Attainment Amelie Björk on 2 August 2022 by Daniel Hamilton on the basis of Montan's inactivity and insufficient job performance. The motion of no confidence was successful, with Montan losing 19-3 and being removed from office on 3 August, the following day.
