Prime Minister of Westralia (Emancipation Map Game)

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Westralia is the head of His Majesty's Government in Westralia. The Prime Minister (informal abbreviation: PM) and Cabinet (consisting of all the most senior ministers, who are government department heads) are collectively accountable for their policies and actions to the Monarch, to Congress, to their political party and ultimately to the electorate. The current Prime Minister, Harold Symons, leader of the Democratic Labour Party, was appointed by the King and inaugurated on 2 July 1875.

The office is not established by any constitution or law but exists only by long-established convention, which stipulates that the monarch must appoint as prime minister the person most likely to command the confidence of the National Assembly; this individual is typically the leader of the political party or coalition of parties that holds the largest number of seats in that chamber. The Prime Minister is primus inter pares or the first among equals in the Cabinet and the head of government in Westralia. Certain privileges, such as residency of Alexander Hall, are accorded to the Prime Minister by virtue of his position.
