Fourth Hill Ministry

Audrick Hill became prime minister for the third time on 8 December 3025, almost exactly seven years on from his first appointment in 3019. He was elected to the leadership of the Conservative party in December, replacing Beau Martin after a dispute over the Pan-Doggerland Free Trade Agreement (PDFTA). He became the first prime minister in Wiltshirian history to be elected to three non-consecutive terms.

Hill's appointment as prime minister was put in doubt when Basil Lethbridge announced he would quit the Conservative party to form his own Covalence party, taking 9 other assemblymen with him. To mitigate the risk of an early general election, Hill formed a coalition with the Liberal party, led by Amy Raab. With the backing of governor-general Ray Banes the two parties formally merged into the Republic Party of Wiltshire. Due to the defection of a number of formerly Conservative assemblymen, the Republic government lost its majority. However, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian Augustus ordered the dissolution of the National Assembly. The ministry became a caretaker one, until a new government can be elected.
