Government of Wiltshire

The Government of Wiltshire, formally the Government of the Wiltshire Fifth Republic, is the central government of the Fifth Wiltshire Republic. It is also commonly referred to as the Wiltshirian Government, the National Assembly Government, or the Federal Government.

The government is led by the Prime Minister of Wiltshire, who selects all other ministers. The Prime Minister and their most senior ministers belong to the supreme decision-making committee, known as the Cabinet. The government ministers all sit in the Wiltshire National Assembly, and are accountable to it. The government is dependent on the Assembly to make primary legislation, and so is elected through the legislative elections which occur following the dissolution of the National Assembly. Following the legislative elections, the President of Wiltshire (currently Sonya Inyo) appoints the Prime Minister to form the government. The Prime Minister requires the confidence of the President and the National Assembly (through majority support).

According to Wiltshire Basic Law, executive power lies with the President. However, the President empowers the government to exercise the running of the country. This is done in the name of the President. Members of the cabinet unite with the President's Secretaries to form the Privy Council, a unified advisory council of government ministers, Presidentially appointed secretaries and the Prime Minister.

The current Prime Minister is Mitchell A. Crawley who leads a Stability coalition government.

Cabinet

The cabinet of the Fourth Wiltshire Republic is the senior advisory and decision making body for the government. Chaired by the Prime Minister, the cabinet is responsible for the execution of government business with members being granted different portfolios. Members of the cabinet are called Ministers. The current cabinet is that of the Third Crawley Ministry.

The cabinet is a separate body to the President's Privy Council, however, all members of the cabinet are invited to be members of the Privy Council. The Privy Council, in contrast to the cabinet, is the chief advisory board to the President of Wiltshire.
