We have been asked about the reasoning behind our No Confidence Motion only have a single resolve clause; some PPP supporters are even suggesting that such a bold statement is not legal, I share with you an extract from a similar Motion moved in the English House of Commons on March 28, 1979 which was successful in removing the minority Labour Party

Mrs. Margaret Thatcher (Finchley)

Mr. Speaker, I beg to move, "That this House has no confidence in Her Majesty's Government."

The timing of the motion arises from the Government's inept handling of the result of the referendums on the Scotland and Wales Acts. When we thought that it was a time for decision, the Prime Minister thought that it was a time for talks. As he had previously spurned them, we were not wholly convinced that the reasons that he advanced represented the whole truth. We were similarly sceptical when he expressed his willingness to consider modifications to the present Acts, presumably by an amending Bill or a totally different measure.

The AFC Motion states -

BE IT RESOLVED - That this National Assembly has no confidence in the Government.

There will be a surplus of words when the AFC parliamentarians debate the motion.

 

Packing meat now into the motion is tantamount to giving the PPP ammunition.

As noted in my previous post on another thread, no-confidence motions need the following ...

 

WHEREAS ...

WHEREAS ...

WHEREAS ...

NOW THEREFORE
