Estonia’s Prime Minister Taavi Roivas has lost a parliamentary confidence vote, causing the government to collapse.

It follows months of in-fighting between his Reform Party and its two coalition partners over economic policies, among other issues.

Roivas lost the vote 63-28, with ten MPs abstaining or absent.
