[@gontrandjojo9747]

It works exactly the same. Barnier got ousted because he has no parliamentary majority (in fact no party/coalition has a majority, the assembly in divided into 3 blocks with no-one having the abitily to have a majority). It can happen in the UK, imagine if 1/3 of the Parliament is Labour, 1/3 Tories and 1/3 Reform, with no-one being mature enough to compromise. Any government would not last very long.

[@verzeda]

There have been instances in recent years where a vote of no confidence was a significant political threat in the UK, potentially leading to a snap election: 1. 2019 Boris Johnson's Government: Boris Johnson faced threats of a no-confidence vote in the lead-up to Brexit deadlines. However, no such vote occurred because opposition parties, including Labour, chose not to pursue one immediately, fearing it would result in a general election on Johnson's terms. Instead, Johnson called for a snap election in December 2019, which the opposition eventually supported after the Brexit deal was delayed. 2. Theresa May's Government: In January 2019, Theresa May survived a no-confidence vote after her Brexit deal suffered a historic defeat in Parliament. The vote, initiated by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, was lost by 325 votes to 306. While May remained in office, her position weakened, and she resigned later that year, leading to Johnson becoming Prime Minister. These scenarios reflect how votes of no confidence and the threat of snap elections have shaped UK politics recently, especially during the tumultuous Brexit era.
