Μπορώ να πω ότι υπάρχει η αντιστοιχία
motion of no confidence = πρόταση δυσπιστίας
motion of censure = πρόταση μομφής


Μπορώ επίσης να ομολογήσω ότι ποτέ δεν μου άρεσε η ελληνική απόδοση με τη δυσπιστία. Θα προτιμούσα π.χ. πρόταση για την άρση της εμπιστοσύνης της Βουλής προς την κυβέρνηση. Ίσως θα βαριόνταν να την υποβάλουν επειδή θα βαριόνταν να την πουν ολόκληρη. Πάντως, το σκηνικό που ζούμε αυτόν τον καιρό (τουλάχιστον μέσα από τις δημοσκοπήσεις) είναι κάτι ανάμεσα σε ψήφο μομφής προς την κυβέρνηση και ψήφο δυσπιστίας προς τον Σύριζα.

Καταθέτω το λήμμα vote of confidence από το Political Dictionary του Safire και πείτε μας αν ξέρετε πού μπορούμε να διαβάσουμε για την ιστορία των ελληνικών όρων:

vote of confidence
Legislative reassurance; more generally, any expression of support.

The phrase originated in the British Parliament, where it is a division of the House of Commons in which the government tests its strength. Members of the majority party must vote with their party; if enough defect to lose a vote, the government is expected to call for a general election.

Conversely, if a motion of no confidence is introduced by the opposition in the House of Commons and passes, the result is called a vote of censure (although it contains the words “no confidence,” it is not referred to as a “vote of no confidence,” except in America); in that case, the government is upset or falls, and an election is called.

When criticism of the conduct of the war rose in 1942, Prime Minister Winston Churchill asked for a vote of confidence, calling the procedure “thoroughly normal, constitutional, and democratic”; after three days of debate, the motion was carried 464 to 1. In effect, Churchill brought the criticism to a head and then mustered support for his policies.

In the U.S., there is no such formal method of saying, “There may be sniping, but when the chips are down, we have a majority.” As used in this country, the phrase means some voter expression, such as a special local election or a referendum, that is interpreted as a renewed mandate; or a reelection, which is called “a vote of confidence for his policies,” or any pat on the back from a group of supporters.
