{{Politics of Gylias}}

The '''Prime Minister of Gylias''' ({{wpl|French language|French}}: ''Premier ministre gylienne'') is the federal {{wpl|head of government}} of [[Gylias]]. They chair the federal [[Cabinet of Gylias]], and direct and coordinate the policy of the government in cooperation with the rest of the cabinet.

==History==
Due to the prevailing [[Anarchism in Gylias|anarchist]] heritage of the [[Free Territories (Gylias)|Free Territories]], Gylias had no official head of government role at independence. Instead, taking inspiration from the [[Executive Committee of Kirisaki]], [[Darnan Cyras]] constituted an Executive Committee, with himself as its chair. The purpose of the Executive Committee was intended to be primarily supervisory and coordinating, leaving [[Communal assemblies (Gylias)|communal assemblies]] as the main locus of power.

The popular drafting process that produced the [[Constitution of Gylias]], adopted in 1961, was marked by a sometimes uneasy compromise between anarchist and [[Liberalism in Gylias|liberal]] schools of thought. The anarchists accepted certain symbolic concessions in return for articles that were seen as preserving the anarchist character inherited from the Free Territories. The Constitution thus renamed the Executive Committee to the [[Cabinet of Gylias]], and the chair became the Prime Minister, while in substance their responsibilities remained limited.

==Role==
The Prime Minister is the chair of the cabinet. Their primary role is to assemble the cabinet, determine its agenda, co-ordinate its activities, and take part in preparing preliminary resolutions and decisions for the Parliament to consider.

The Prime Minister chairs the weekly meetings of the cabinet and has the power to set the agenda of the meetings. Informally, the Prime Minister is the main representative of the cabinet, responding for the government's activities and overall direction to the public and [[Gylian Parliament]]. They mainly carry out the duty of meeting and coordinating with [[Local government in Gylias|regional and local governments]], and seek support for their proposals from [[Politics of Gylias#Direct democracy|the people]] and the legislatures.

The Prime Minister also has some functions in international affairs, shared with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the [[President of Gylias]].

Whenever the Prime Minister is out of the country, ill or incapacitated, the Deputy Prime Minister fulfils their functions until they can resume their duties.

The responsibilities of the Prime Minister are strongly limited by various factors: the primacy of [[Communal assemblies (Gylias)|communal assemblies]], {{wpl|concurrent powers|shared responsibilities}} with [[Local government in Gylias|local and regional governments]] in accordance with the {{wpl|subsidiarity}} principle, the {{wpl|multi-party system}} of [[Politics of Gylias|Gylian politics]], and the {{wpl|directorial system|collegial system}} of the cabinet. In practice, the position's main role is that of a {{wpl|bully pulpit|national platform from which to advocate an agenda}}.

==Appointment mechanism==
Following a [[Elections in Gylias#Federal elections|federal election]], the leader of the coalition likely to secure majority support in the [[Gylian Parliament]] is designated Prime Minister by the [[President of Gylias|President]] and asked to form a government. Following negotiations and consultations, the designated Prime Minister forms a coalition and advises the President to appoint the cabinet members. The resulting cabinet is subject to a {{wpl|motion of confidence}}, and {{wpl|affirmation in law|affirms}} the {{wpl|oath of office}}:

{{Quote|text=''I promise to protect and preserve the [[Constitution of Gylias|Constitution]] and [[Law of Gylias|laws]], and always serve the general interest and welfare of Gylians.''}}

The Prime Minister's term in office ends if they lose a {{wpl|recall election}} in their ''circonscription'', if they lose a budget vote, or if they lose a {{wpl|motion of no confidence}} vote. The cabinet then resigns, and the President asks for the formation of another government. They remain in office as caretaker until their successor is confirmed.

==Salary and other benefits==
The Prime Minister does not receive any amenities, being required to arrange their own accommodation, and collect a salary equivalent to an {{wpl|average worker's wage}}, subject to normal income tax. The absence of an official office and residence was a precedent established by [[Darnan Cyras]], who sought to minimise the "pageantry" surrounding the office.

The Prime Minister is entitled to unpaid leave, and has the power to determine their vacation days per year.

The Prime Minister has transportation and security services at their disposal at all times, but not all of them have chosen to make use of the former, instead preferring to travel by public transport in Gylias and purchasing seats on commercial flights abroad.

Encouraged by his government, the [[Golden Revolution]] had a massive impact on Gylian life: an [[Economy of Gylias#Economic miracle|economic boom]] brought significant increases in living standards and equality, progressive social reforms modernised and reshaped society, and a [[Groovy Gylias|thriving popular culture]] emerged. Did not run for reelection in [[Gylian federal election, 1976|1976]], but remained as caretaker pending the formation of a new government.

|colspan=7 align=left|The second Prime Minister of Gylias. An [[Socialism in Gylias|authoritarian socialist]], she formed a tense coalition government with the {{G-PA/meta/shortname}}, which descended into acrimony and internal conflicts as each bloc sought to marginalise the other. She sought to move Gylias towards a {{wpl|centralisation|centralised}} {{wpl|planned economy}} with greater {{wpl|industrialisation}} and state involvement, igniting protracted conflicts with Gylian civil society and [[Economy of Gylias#Cooperatives|cooperatives]]. Her aggressive governing style precipitated the [[wretched decade]]: a period of demoralisation in the public services, worsening diplomatic relations with other countries, and economic stagnation and decline. Remained in office as caretaker after [[Gylian federal election, 1985|1985]], but controversially behaved as if she had been reelected as full Prime Minister. Caused the [[Ossorian war crisis]], which led to her immediate removal by a galvanised opposition. She was subsequently convicted and sent to a [[social quarantine area]], where she was {{wpl|Presumption of death|declared dead}} in 1989.

|colspan=7 align=left|The third Prime Minister of Gylias. A long-serving {{wpl|independent (politician)|independent}} parliamentarian, she was chosen as Prime Minister by Parliament after the [[Ossorian war crisis]]. She formed a national unity government, including all electoral blocs and [[Non-inscrits (Gylias)|non-inscrit]] parties except the RR, {{G-FROS/meta/shortname}}, and [[Populism in Gylias#History|"molehill parties"]]. Known for her contemplative manner and fondness for floating ideas, she pursued the [[Filomena Pinheiro#New Course|New Course]] policy, seeking to "detoxify" public life, restore the quality of public services, and reform the law to strengthen oversight of governments and limit their power relative to communal assemblies. She encouraged grassroots efforts to improve the Gylian economy, and convened the [[Filomena Pinheiro#Public Assembly|Public Assembly]] to consider economic questions. Several political realignments took place during her tenure: the RR and FROS were destroyed as political forces, the {{G-UFP/meta/shortname}} [[Dérive au droite|split]] from the {{G-NB/meta/shortname}}, the appearance of the {{G-NAF/meta/shortname}}, and the established blocs rebuilt their reputations after the wretched decade. She worked with her government to restore good relations with other countries, devoting particular efforts to improving relations with Ossoria. Ruled out serving a term in her own right.

|colspan=7 align=left|The fourth Prime Minister of Gylias. She formed a "plural coalition" government, officially composed of the LU, IRAM, [[Mielikki Salonen]]'s {{G-NAF/meta/shortname}}, and {{G-LND/meta/shortname}}, but including ministers from other parties not officially part of the coalition. Her government relied on negotiating support from different parliamentary groups on a case-by-case basis. Her tenure saw the preservation and adaptation of the [[Gylian consensus]], [[Economy of Gylias#Contemporary|economic revitalisation]], major environmental reforms, and the massive expansion of the [[Internet in Gylias]], which contributed to significant growth in {{wpl|e-democracy|digital democracy}} and {{wpl|decentralised planning (economics)|decentralised planning}}. She convened the [[Decleyre Summit]] and created the [[Social Partnership Program]], influential events in ameliorating public attitudes towards enterprise and [[List of Gylians by net worth|wealth]]. Her government ended the [[Gylian National Broadcasting Service|GNBS]]' monopoly on federal broadcasting, and strengthened local and regional governments, cementing Gylias' unofficial dual power political system.
