The Liberals survived last night’s confidence vote. What’s next? A timely deep dive into parliamentary procedure.

“Canada govt has 1 more #confidencevote on the horizon, courtesy of the main estimates, which, as per standard parliamentary protocols, must be approved before the current supply cycle expires on Dec. 10.”

Will #Carney government use procedure to avoid another vote on the #SupplyBill before Dec 10?

If a government cannot secure “supply” (funding), it cannot govern.

Losing a supply bill vote is treated the same as losing a #confidencevote:

→ The government must #resign

or the Prime Minister must call an #election.

Show Time Today, is the day that Parliament votes on the budget. If the vote goes against approval of the budget, there will be an election called, which would take place shortly after the holidays. Right no…

2/11 Bayrou's confidence vote was a spectacular political miscalculation.

The 74-year-old centrist gambled that lawmakers would back his view that France must slash public spending to rein in its debts.

Instead, left-wing and far-right legislators ganged up to oust him.

France faces more turmoil with government on brink ahead of confidence vote PARIS (Reuters) -France’s fourth prime minister in three years, François Bayrou, faces almost certain defeat in a confidence vote on Monday, tipping the euro zone’s second-biggest economy further into political uncertainty. The government’s collapse looks set to deepen France’s paralysis at a critical time for Europe, which is seeking unity in the face of Russia’s war against Ukraine, an increasingly dominant China and trade tensions with the United States. The turmoil also threatens France’s ability to rein in its debt, with the risk of further credit downgrades looming as bond spreads - a gauge of the risk premium investors demand to hold French debt - widen. France faces acute pressure to repair its finances, with last year’s deficit nearly double the EU’s 3% limit of economic output and public debt at 113.9% of GDP. The confidence vote is slated for Monday afternoon. Despite a frenzy of talks and media appearances since his decision to throw his hat into the ring on August 25 amid tense debates over a budget bill, Bayrou appeared over the weekend to have failed to secure a majority. Opposition leaders across the political spectrum made clear they would vote to oust Bayrou. "The government will fall," said Jean-Luc Melenchon, the leading figure of the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party, echoing similar comments from others on the left and right. Should Bayrou fall, the president will likely face the task of finding yet another government chief capable of steering a budget through parliament, less than a year after the ouster of Bayrou’s conservative predecessor, Michel Barnier. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. Macron has so far ruled out dissolving parliament, as he did last year. TILT TO THE LEFT? France has been mired in a political crisis since Macron called the 2024 snap election, which resulted in a hung parliament. His own alliance, already shorn of a majority since 2022, saw its numbers fall further, while the anti-immigration, far-right National Rally emerged as the biggest party. A loose coalition of left-wing parties, now deeply divided, came in as the largest bloc. No camp has a majority. "This crisis was provoked and fuelled by President Emmanuel Macron and all those who have served him," Marine Le Pen, head of the National Rally’s group of lawmakers, said on Sunday. "Today, the sick man of Europe, because of them, is France." After the fall of a conservative and a centrist as prime minister, most observers expect Macron to next look for a candidate from the ranks of the centre-left Socialists (PS). "He can’t go against the results of the polls a third time," Marine Tondelier, head of the smaller Greens party, told broadcaster BFM on Saturday. Any such candidate would still need to forge a delicate alliance with the president’s liberal bloc, which opposes many of the left’s ideas, including raising taxes for the wealthiest to plug the country’s financial holes. They would also have to convince the moderate right to tolerate yet another minority government. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. Laurent Wauquiez, leading lawmaker for the conservative Les Republicains (LR) party, signalled he would not call for ousting a socialist prime minister. Party chief and Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, however, disagreed. "There is no way we will accept a socialist prime minister", Retailleau said in a speech on Sunday. "Come back in 10 days and you’ll see nothing will have changed. There won’t be a majority, there will be no budget."

Here’s how UBS recommends positioning ahead of French confidence vote on Sept. 8 Investing.com - Last month, French politics was thrust into a fresh crisis following Prime Minister Francois Bayrou’s surprise move to seek a confidence vote on September 8 on his widely unpopular debt-reduction plan. Should Bayrou’s gamble fail, French President Emmanuel Macron may decide to dissolve parliament and either conduct new parliamentary elections or put a new government in place. Macron could also choose to name a new prime minister, Reuters reported, citing an unnamed government source. In any event, analysts at Capital Economics expressed doubts that the vote will help resolve a French budget deficit that remains "well above the level needed to stabilize" the country’s debt ratio. France’s government has set ambitious deficit reduction targets, looking to bring the shortfall down from 4.6% of gross domestic product next year to 2.8% by 2029. In order to meet these goals, a combination of spending cuts and other structural reforms have been proposed that are altogether worth 43.8 billion euros. But the viability of the plan is a cause of deep uncertainty, as several sections -- including the proposed abolition of public holidays -- have drawn fierce resistance from voters. All of this is coming as a draft budget must be submitted by October 7, before being split into two components that must be separately approved within 70 days. French financial markets sold off following Bayrou’s call for a confidence vote, with opposition parties saying they would reject his proposal and take advantage of the chance to oust his minority government from power. 3rd party Ad.

"The initial market reaction was swift but orderly: credit spreads widened modestly, and CAC40/policy-sensitive French equities declined," analysts at UBS said in a note. "Since then, the French risk premium has persisted but remained contained." They added that they believe investors have largely absorbed the political shock associated with the upcoming vote, although "valuations could shift materially depending on the outcome." Against this backdrop, the strategists led by Julien Conzano recommended that investors short 10-year French government bonds versus euro swaps, arguing that "peak uncertainty is likely to materialize around September 8." Profit-taking on French banking stocks is warranted as well, they said, adding that once the murky outlook passes "we would look to reverse the position and re-engage selectively to capture the embedded French risk premium." Finally, they backed selling puts on the Europe-wide Stoxx banking index to "earn premium income given limited earnings risks and global exposure." AI computing powers are changing the stock market.

French bonds tumble after PM calls confidence vote LONDON (Reuters) -French government bond yields jumped to their highest since March, and the premium investors require to hold French debt rather than German bonds widened sharply after Prime Minister Francois Bayrou announced a confidence vote in his own government. Bayrou’s minority government could be ousted next month after three main opposition parties said they would not back him in a vote he called over his plans for sweeping budget cuts. France’s 10-year bond yield rose as much as 9 basis points in thin after-hours trading to 3.508%, its highest since March. That would be the largest one-day widening in the German French spread since June last year ahead of legislative elections that produced the current hung parliament. 3rd party Ad.
