The Cabinet of Delkora constitutes the federal government of the Kingdom of Delkora. Established in 1833, it has undergone numerous changes and reorganizations throughout its history. At present, it consists of 19 ministers plus the Chancellor, who chairs the Cabinet, with the ambassador to the Organization of Tyrannic Nations serving as an ex officio member. The current Cabinet is led by Chancellor Adric Azengaard and was convened following the 2018 federal election. It consists of the Liberal Party, National Labor, and the Green Party.
Formation
After being appointed following a federal election, the Chancellor nominates minister candidates. The nominees are then formally appointed by the monarch and do not require separate parliamentary votes. If a minister is a sitting member of Parliament, their seat is deputized for the duration of their tenure.
Cabinet ministers are individually and collectively responsible to the Chamber of Representatives, which can oust the entire Cabinet or individual ministers through votes of no confidence. In the event of the Chancellor losing a confidence vote, the entire Cabinet is obligated to resign.
Ministers are expected to publicly support the government agenda. In the event of a major policy disagreement, a minister will usually offer their resignation or be asked to resign by the Chancellor.
Composition
Under the Delkoran Constitution, members of the Cabinet must be Delkoran citizens who have reached the age of majority. While there is no requirement that ministers be members of the Chamber of Representatives, most ministers in practice have had considerable parliamentary experience. Since 1950, the average parliamentary tenure of ministers prior to their first appointment has been 10 years.
Although there is no legal mandate to such effect, longstanding convention holds that ministers should have meaningful experience in the policy area relevant to their portfolio.
Subordinate to each minister is one or more state secretaries, who serve as deputy ministers and help oversee particular agencies under their jurisdiction.
Function
The Cabinet serves as the executive branch of the Delkoran government and is responsible for enacting federal laws and managing federal ministries. It operates according to the principle of ministerial autonomy, with the Chancellor seen as the first among equals and individual ministers generally having a high degree of independence. Delkoran law specifies that Cabinet ministers set general policy guidelines, but are strictly prohibited from intervening in the actual decision-making processes of the agencies under their jurisdiction.
The Cabinet typically meets every Wednesday at the Chancellery Building in Norenstal. Under the Delkoran Constitution, ministers are required to make themselves available for weekly government questions from the Chamber of Representatives and produce any information or documents requested by Parliament.
