The adoption of a constructive vote of no confidence in Spain for the first time since the adoption of the Spanish 1978 Constitution has led to the change of political sign of the Government in the middle of the XII legislature or term, characterised by the fragmentation of the Congress of Deputies which has replaced the former nearly two-party system. The essay analyses the consequences of this change on the functioning and functions of Parliament and on the instability of a Government that has been in power for only nine months, taking stock of the period extending from the vote of no confidence to dissolution of Parliament, comparing it with the equally difficult previous period and with other terms, to ultimately show how the end of the two-party system has influenced Government-Parliament relations in the Spanish parliamentary political system.Downloads
