    But it can only be called by parliament, and only parliament can vote in it. 'The people' can't call for or vote in a vote of no confidence.

    technically, yes, it is the poeple who calls the vote of no confidence, since the people in parliament represent the people - this is always the problem with representative democracy instead of direct democracy.

    Parliament is supposed to represent the people, but it does not really represent the people. For example, only 36% of people votes labour in the last election, yet they have a majority in parliament.
