Move toward vote of no-confidence in Egypt

Egyptian MPs have voted to move towards a vote of no-confidence against the military government. The move could lead to confrontation if the government refuses to resign. The Prime Minister, Kamal al-Ganzouri, is also in talks with the IMF for a $3.2 billion loan which could get complicated should to vote occur. Egypt's system of government only allows the military council to discharge and appoint cabinets however. The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, who holds 43% of parliament seats, argues that the government should resign or be dissolved if it loses confidence of the parliament
