The constructive vote of no confidence means that a cabinet may remain in power but, because it is opposed by a majority in the legislature, be unable to get any of its proposed legislation adopted. This ushers in the problem of executive-legislative deadlock -the very problem that besets presidential government but that is supposed not to occur in parliamentary systems. Hence, while the constructive vote of no confidence may be able to alleviate cabinet instability, it is far from a complete solution.
