Bro. There's a fucking article right there that says this:

A total of 364 MPs voted against Bayrou and 194 voted for him after he called the vote in a bid to push through an unpopular €44 billion ($51 billion) savings plan that included scrapping two public holidays and freezing government spending. The 364 votes against Bayrou were well above the 280-vote threshold needed to topple the government.

Bayrou will now be forced to step down after just nine months in office, following in the footsteps of his predecessor Michel Barnier, who lost a no-confidence vote last December.

When a vote of no-confidence is passed in the french parliament, the government ends. The President, Macron, now has to nominate a new Prime Minister.

Macron however is also under fire - this PM lasted 9 months, and the precious one he appointed lasted 3 months.

The French president can appoint whoever they want as Prime Minister, but since parliament can vote them out with a vote of no confidence, there has to be a compromise with the leading parliamentary powers. It's unlikely Macron can achieve this, short of nominating someone from the right but then he's going against his own voters, which is kinda political suicide.

Tough times ahead...

*I didn't read the article but I don't understand this."

I cannot believe you typed that out and hit submit without realizing that you should just read the article that would answer your question.

I don't know if it's the same parliamentary system as canada, but when a confidence motion is lost, the government ends and an election is called.
