If more than half of the Electoral Votes cast on the Request are FOR it and the current Prime Minister Denies the Request anyway, he must lose 5 Confidence for each FOR Electoral Vote it has. The current Prime Minister may not Deny the Request this way if he has not enough Confidence to lose. Additionally, if the Prime Minister would not have enough Confidence to pay the penalty, and the Request expires at 48 hours with a majority of votes cast FOR, then the request is automatically Granted instead of being Denied.


In the current rule, "this way" allows the PM a loophole -- he can just let the request expire, take the Confidence hit, and have it Denied automatically.
