Prime Minister of Wiltshire: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:04, 7 September 2019

The Director of Wiltshire is the head of the government of the Province of Wiltshire. The incumbent Director is Fillmore Grey, who assumed office following the formation of the National Coalition in June 3019.

The office of Prime Minister was established in 3009 when the cities of Wiltshire and Walkerton unified into the Federal Republic. Jaresh Inyo served as the first, interim, Prime Minister until the first general election in September 3009. The office has both executive and legislative powers. Traditionally, the Prime Minister is the leader of the political party that can command a majority of the Assembly.

In March 3019, the Federal Republic was dissolved in favour of the Provincial style of the Novanite Federation. This resulted in the Office of Prime Minister being replaced with the Office of the Director of the Wiltshire.

The Director has large, wide reaching, powers over the legislation of the nation. In addition, the Director can appoint and dismiss members of the Cabinet at their own will. However, the Director must report to the Assembly and can be removed at any moment if they lose the confidence of the Assembly.

In order to be appointed Director, the leader of the political party must win a confidence vote in the Assembly. This vote occurs at the start of each session of the Assembly, and can be called by the Leader of the Opposition at any time. Once the candidate has won the confidence of the Assembly, the Federal President appoints the Director to form a government and they take the oath of office in the Assembly chamber.

In the event the leader loses the confidence vote (either at the start of during their term), the Assembly is given 5 days to resolve the dispute and appoint a Director to form a government. If they cannot, the Assembly is dissolved in preparation for another General Election. During the meantime, the incumbent Director remains Director.
