The vote of no-confidence is the primary mechanism through which the principle of government accountability to the legislature – the defining feature of parliamentary democracy – is achieved. Yet, no research has been devoted to its influence on the relations between the government and the mechanism's main users – the opposition. This article attempts to fill this lacuna by theorising how restrictiveness in the vote of no-confidence influences the opposition's strategies vis-à-vis the government in legislative voting. We delineate the influence of the vote of no-confidence on the opposition via its preference to pursue more cooperative strategies, as opposed to conflictual ones, distinguishing between the two stages of the vote of no-confidence – initiating and voting. We empirically explore the relation between the vote of no-confidence and the voting behaviour of 59 opposition parties in 16 countries, showing that greater restrictions on both stages of the vote of no-confidence correlate with less conflictual opposition behaviour.

The coalition government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud) was sworn in on 31 March 2009, following the 10 February elections. Likud headed a majority coalition government that also included Israel Our Home, Labour, Shas, United Torah Judaism, and the Jewish Home, for a total of 74 of the 120 parliamentary seats (Hazan and Diskin, 2010). One center party (Kadima), one right-wing party (National Union), one Jewish-supported left-wing party (Meretz) and three Arab-supported parties (Hadash, Balad, Ra'am/Ta'al) remained in opposition. In spite of the fact that Likud held only 27 seats, the coalition was quite stable and survived almost four full years. [Copyright Elsevier Ltd.]
