The Bluff Continues
11/15/2007
On National TV, the Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša just stated that the Government will propose a motion of confidence (“vote of confidence”). You can read more on what that means here.
(If the Government does not receive the support of a majority vote of all deputies, the National Assembly must elect within thirty days a new President of the Government or in a new vote express its confidence in the incumbent President of the Government, or failing this, the President of the Republic dissolves the National Assembly and calls new elections.)
And so, the Lord of Bluff continues his rule…

Dunno… seems to me JJ didn’t count on opposition to stay cool as a cucumber – calling on him to calm down instead of salivating at the possibility of taking over the power. Instead a coalition party picked up a stick and started beating JJ with it. So all that was left for him to do was to demand a vote of confiedence. He now has to make coallition members fall into line instead of making the opposition look like power-hungry buffons.
