Audrick Bailey Hill (born June 2, 2970) is a Wiltshirian politician who is served as the 9th Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Wiltshire and the Leader of the Wiltshire Conservative Party from January 1, 3019 until February 11, 3019.

Hill became the 9th Prime Minister of Wiltshire on January 1, 3019 following the resignation of long-serving Socialist Prime Minister Frank Eddington. Eddington had continuously won landslide victories for the Socialist Party, until November 3018 when the Socialists lost their large margins to the Conservatives - then under the leadership of Peter Hay - resulting in Eddington requiring to form a coalition. This collapsed following multiple defeats in late December 3018, leading to Audrick Hill (who now have more seats than the Socialists because of two by-election victories) forming the first Conservative government since January 3016.

In government, Hill had a plan for tax cuts and a repeal of the Universal Healthcare Act. His proposals were mostly accepted by the coalition, with massive tax cuts being implemented within the first week of his assuming office. However, trouble struck when he attempted to propose, his alternative to the Universal Healthcare act, the Wiltshirian Care and Service Act, which failed because of a Liberal rebellion. This led to the government shutdown and, eventually, the January 3019 General Election. Where Audrick Hill won the Conservatives their first overall majority since October 3014.

In early February 3019, Hill announced his resignation as leader of the Conservative Party because of the mass divisions caused by the NNF Membership Referendum. Samantha Schrӧder succeeded Hill as Leader and Prime Minister.

Political History

Audrick Hill was first elected to Washington's 10th district in the September 3016 General Election, replacing long time Conservative AM Don Walsh. Hill served as a backbencher until the October 3017 election where he became the Shadow Minister for Foreign affairs when the incumbent shadow minister was defeated in the election. He continued in that post until Peter Hay became leader in April 3018. Hay appointed Hill his deputy Leader and Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer.

This put Hill in a prime position to take up the leadership of the party when Peter Hay resigned following the Conservatives' narrow defeat in the November 3018 Elections. Hill became leader of the opposition after easily defeating Conservative backbencher Todd Oliver in a leadership election. His time as leader of the opposition was short however as in late December 3018, the Conservatives over-took the Socialist Party in the National Assembly by winning two by-election victories. This caused Prime Minister Frank Eddington to resign, leaving a power vacuum in the Assembly, with Hill attempting to put together a government. Now, with the support of the Liberal Party, Hill was able to put together a governing coalition.
