LISBON, Portugal (AP) - Portugal's minority government lost a confidence vote in parliament Tuesday, forcing its resignation and bringing the European Union country's third general election in three years. The government's fall marks the worst spell of political instability since Portugal adopted a democratic system more than 50 years ago in the wake of the 1974 Carnation Revolution, which ended a four-decade dictatorship.
