confidence and supply 信任與支持協議

confidence and supply
繁：信任與支持協議
简：信任与支持协议

新首相可以依賴一份與各小黨之間的「信任與支持協議」（confidence and supply），組成少數政府。在這種協議下，小黨不入閣，但會在預算和信任投票等議題上相挺執政黨；各個小黨也會從執政黨那邊得到一些政策讓步，作為回饋。

周六下午，DUP宣佈跟保守黨達成“信任與支持協議” （confidence and supply agreement）。保守黨因此得以繼續執政，幾乎相當於獨立執政，但需要讓利給DUP，換取後者在諸如預算、信任投票等重大問題上的支持。

What does ‘confidence and supply’ mean?

The Institute of Government says confidence deals “typically make clear that the support party or parties must back the government on explicit confidence votes, and votes on budgets and supply (government spending). In return, the support parties are given government support for specific policy priorities.”
