Paragraph 86
 

This should also be considered in light of the amendment to Article 87 par 1, which provides that the loss of the status of the parliamentary majority by a coalition of factions shall automatically cause the resignation of the Government. Such an amendment would exclude the possibility for the government to continue as a so-called minority government, i.e., a government which is not supported by a majority in parliament but also not opposed. In this case, it would also not be possible for a government to be supported by a majority different from the majority which expressed its confidence in the government when it was formed. It is thus recommended to delete the proposed change to Article 87 par 1 from the Draft Amendments.
