Portugal's government falls in no-confidence vote, sets stage for possible new election

The current center-right government in Portugal, led by Lus Montenegro, has been ousted from power by a vote of no confidence in the Parliament. This has led to the possibility of a third national election in less than three years. The government's precarious position was due to its control of fewer than a majority of seats in the Parliament, with a total of 80 seats out of 230.
