The prime minister leads the [[Cabinet of Insulaeia|cabinet]] and appoints [[Cabinet of Insulaeia#List of Ministers|ministers]] with the approval of the [[Monarchy of Insulaeia|monarch]]. To become Prime Minister the person [[Nomination of the Prime Minister of Insulaeia|nominated]] must be a [[Member of the Insulaei House of Representatives|member of the House]] and have majority support of the [[Insulaei House of Representatives|House]]. The Prime Minister must have the confidence of the house to be Prime Minister and if the House [[Confidence motions in Insulaeia|does not have confidence]] then Parliament is dissolved and [[Elections in Insulaeia|new elections are called]]. The current Prime Minister is [[Mary Thompson]] who was appointed on [[2022 Social Democrats of Insulaeia leadership election|17 March 2022]] following the resignation of her predecessor, [[Xavier Harris]]. 
 
The office was established in 1750 following that years federal election where [[Thomas Anderson]], [[Tories (Insulaeia political party)#Leaders|Leader of the Tories]], became the de-facto Prime Minister. Since 1750 the office of the Prime Minister has only been vacant for an extended period of time once which was during [[German Occupation of Insulaeia|the German occupation]]. In 1999, [[Emma Grady]] was appointed as Prime Minister making her the first female Prime Minister. In 2017, [[Xavier Harris]] was appointed and became the first Black Prime Minister. Currently incumbent Prime Minister, [[Mary Thompson]], is the first openly LGBTQ+ Prime Minister.
 
Since 1750 there have been 44 Prime Ministers (42 Men & 2 Women) serving 46 terms. The longest serving Prime Minister was [[James Byrne-Thorne]] who served a total of almost 18 years. The shortest serving was [[Gregory Potter]] who served [[1867-1869 Insulaei political crisis|8 days before being dismissed]].
 
==History==
In 1750, the Tories won a supermajority in the House. Thomas Anderson was invited to become the Leader of the House, Leader of the Council of State, and Minister for the Cabinet Office. Anderson thus was declared by many historians to be the first Prime Minister. Anderson was given the responsibility of appointing Ministers during the Seven Years' War making him the de-facto head of government. Anderson also commissioned Napolis House which has been the official residence of the Prime Minister since 1754.
 
In 1870, Robert Branson became the first person to be official appointed Prime Minister with the title. Branson became the first Prime Minister to appoint a cabinet without the approval of the monarch. Many historians view this as the moment Insulaeia became a constitutional monarchy. Branson also introduced the law that required Prime Ministers to be nominated before being made Prime Minister. Branson became the first Prime Minister to not be Leader of the Council of State, and/or Minister for the Cabinet Office.
 
In 1974, the first hung parliament was formed meaning there was a gridlock. No Prime Minister was elected for almost 2 months. The King attempted to step in to stop the mess but was blocked to do so. Eventually the Social Democrats and the Liberals formed a coalition government. Since 1974 there have been a total of 13 coalitions between various parties.
 
==Powers ==
The Prime Minister is the head of the Insulaei cabinet and the Head of Government. The Prime Minister has the power to appoint ministers with the approval of the monarch. The Prime Minister also advises the monarch on constitutional affairs. The Prime Minister officially calls elections within a 5 year period. The Prime Minister may propose any legislation to the House of Representatives but must consult the ministers responsible first.

The Prime Minister of Insulaeia is the head of government in the Kingdom of Insulaeia. The prime minister leads the cabinet and appoints ministers with the approval of the monarch. To become Prime Minister the person nominated must be a member of the House and have majority support of the House. The Prime Minister must have the confidence of the house to be Prime Minister and if the House does not have confidence then Parliament is dissolved and new elections are called. The current Prime Minister is Mary Thompson who was appointed on 17 March 2022 following the resignation of her predecessor, Xavier Harris.

The office was established in 1750 following that years federal election where Thomas Anderson, Leader of the Tories, became the de-facto Prime Minister. Since 1750 the office of the Prime Minister has only been vacant for an extended period of time once which was during the German occupation. In 1999, Emma Grady was appointed as Prime Minister making her the first female Prime Minister. In 2017, Xavier Harris was appointed and became the first Black Prime Minister. Currently incumbent Prime Minister, Mary Thompson, is the first openly LGBTQ+ Prime Minister.

Since 1750 there have been 44 Prime Ministers (42 Men & 2 Women) serving 46 terms. The longest serving Prime Minister was James Byrne-Thorne who served a total of almost 18 years. The shortest serving was Gregory Potter who served 8 days before being dismissed.

History

In 1750, the Tories won a supermajority in the House. Thomas Anderson was invited to become the Leader of the House, Leader of the Council of State, and Minister for the Cabinet Office. Anderson thus was declared by many historians to be the first Prime Minister. Anderson was given the responsibility of appointing Ministers during the Seven Years' War making him the de-facto head of government. Anderson also commissioned Napolis House which has been the official residence of the Prime Minister since 1754.

In 1870, Robert Branson became the first person to be official appointed Prime Minister with the title. Branson became the first Prime Minister to appoint a cabinet without the approval of the monarch. Many historians view this as the moment Insulaeia became a constitutional monarchy. Branson also introduced the law that required Prime Ministers to be nominated before being made Prime Minister. Branson became the first Prime Minister to not be Leader of the Council of State, and/or Minister for the Cabinet Office.

In 1974, the first hung parliament was formed meaning there was a gridlock. No Prime Minister was elected for almost 2 months. The King attempted to step in to stop the mess but was blocked to do so. Eventually the Social Democrats and the Liberals formed a coalition government. Since 1974 there have been a total of 13 coalitions between various parties.

Powers

The Prime Minister is the head of the Insulaei cabinet and the Head of Government. The Prime Minister has the power to appoint ministers with the approval of the monarch. The Prime Minister also advises the monarch on constitutional affairs. The Prime Minister officially calls elections within a 5 year period. The Prime Minister may propose any legislation to the House of Representatives but must consult the ministers responsible first.
