Perhaps I am being stupid, but if a motion in the House of Commons states, ““This House has no confidence in Her Majesty's Government””, and it is passed, why do we need a certificate to say that it has been passed? The 14-day provision is open for debate, but if the Bill says that Dissolution should happen 14 days after a motion has been passed, surely it is just a matter of counting the votes. Am I missing something?
