Vote of no confidence

[edit]

Peace of Paris (1783)#The path to negotiation says the resignation was shortly before the no confidence vote actually took place: «Hours before yet another such vote was due, on 20 March, the government leader, Lord North, persuaded the King to accept his resignation». Although practically there is no difference because it was seemingly clear he would lose the vote, it might be nice to clarify this point. --Nemo 11:38, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Nemo bis: Reworded to The North ministry resigned on 22 March 1782 after losing the confidence of Parliament, if that's OK with you.--Nevéselbert 18:16, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That seems nicely worded. I don't know if the order of events is fully certain anyway. Nemo 15:03, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
