[[Owen Lassiter]] formed the '''Second Lassiter Ministry''' after the Conservative victory in the 3024 Wiltshire general election. The result, which returned a Conservative majority on the Wiltshire National Assembly for the first time since January 3019, encouraged Lassiter to appoint a full cabinet of Conservatives and granted the new government the political authority to conduct a number of key domestic reforms in light of the devastation caused by the Wiltshire Civil War.

Lassiter returned as Prime Minister, with Gus Nixon and Luke Ford continuing on from Lassiter's caretaker ministry. Lassiter appointed the rest of the cabinet based on prominent Conservative Party thinkers, with former ministers such as Christopher Konty returning, as well as new ministers such as Grant Katzenmoyer, Mack McCain, and Kirk Ashland filling seats in cabinet for the first time.

It re-empowered the civil service and assigned temporary budgets for departments until the full federal budget could be unveiled.

The Government of Wiltshire Act 3024 also included new rules for motions of no confidence. A motion of no confidence previously could be introduced by any Assemblyman and only required a simple majority to pass.

Motions to call early elections now require a supermajority of two-thirds to pass.
 
Shortly after taking office, Chancellor Helena Jahnke announced that the government would be triggering the "debt brake" - a mechanism that would restrict the Wiltshirian state from accumulating new debt, effectively mandating a balanced budget. The debt-break was passed by the Assembly overwhelmingly as the Fiscal Responsibility and Assurance Act.

== The Debt Brake ==
On the eve of the 3024 general election, Prime Minister Owen Lassiter announced that he would be triggering the 'debt brake', which is a law that was passed in 3011 by Wiltshire's founding father, Jaresh Inyo. The debt brake was designed as a mechanism that would limit the Wiltshirian national government to fiscal spending that was matched by proper revenues. The result of the mechanism would be to prohibit peace team governments from borrowing money and creating budget deficits.
 
The law was designed to be triggered once "the investment required to construct a prosperous settlement" had been completed. However, successive Prime Ministers refused to trigger the debt brake, until eventually the law was mostly forgotten.
 
Lassiter's announcement was seen as a last minute pitch to voters, suggesting that he would be the safe pair of hands that would deliver economic stability for the first time in years. When the Conservatives won a majority at the election subsequently, Lassiter appointed Lucy Burgers - the only Chancellor ever to deliver a balanced budget - to the position of Chancellor once again: a further signal that he intended to avoid deficit spending.
 
When Burgers unveiled the government's new budget in September 3024, it was a balanced one under the provisions of the debt brake.

Latest revision as of 06:27, 6 October 2024

The Attlee Ministry was formed on 15 August 3024 following David-Eli Attlee's election as Prime Minister of Wiltshire. Attlee shortly thereafter announced the formation of Renaissance, a broad-church progressive political party. The government was a coalition between progressive Renaissance, the centrist Kaitiaki Ropu, and the agrarian Ecologists & Greens (E&G).

The Attlee Ministry ended on 6 October 3024 when it was absorbed into the Murcian Union government.

Policies and legislation

The first legislative action of the new government was to pass the Government of Wiltshire Act 3024, which outlined administrative and political constructions for the execution of government. It re-empowered the civil service and assigned temporary budgets for departments until the full federal budget could be unveiled. It also grandfathered in all pre-civil war legislation that doesn't contradict new treaties and laws, with a 365-day continuing resolution giving the Assembly one-year to object to the reimplementation to certain laws.

The Government of Wiltshire Act 3024 also included new rules for motions of no confidence. A motion of no confidence previously could be introduced by any Assemblyman and only required a simple majority to pass. Under the new rules, a no confidence motion can only be introduced by the Prime Minister or the Leader of the Opposition and requires an absolute majority (51 votes) to pass. Motions to call early elections now require a supermajority of two-thirds to pass.

Shortly after taking office, Chancellor Helena Jahnke announced that the government would be triggering the "debt brake" - a mechanism that would restrict the Wiltshirian state from accumulating new debt, effectively mandating a balanced budget. The debt-break was passed by the Assembly overwhelmingly as the Fiscal Responsibility and Assurance Act.
