The Cabinet of Gylias (French: Cabinet gylienne) is the federal government of Gylias. It consists of 28 ministries, 2 additional cabinet positions (Deputy Prime Minister, Minister Without Portfolio), and the Prime Minister as its chair.

The cabinet convenes in weekly meetings chaired by the Prime Minister, which are recorded and made accessible to the public through the National Archives. Its functioning is regulated by the Constitution of Gylias and several other pieces of legislation, the best known of which is the Law on Cabinet Representation of 1971.

History

The cabinet originated as the Executive Committee of Gylias, established on independence. In this incarnation, it was modeled after the Executive Committee of Kirisaki and had a mainly supervisory and coordinating role, leaving governance concentrated in local communal assemblies.

The Constitution of Gylias' adoption in 1961 officially changed the Executive Committee's name to the cabinet — and that of its chair to Prime Minister.

Formation

Following a federal election, the President of Gylias designates a Prime Minister to form a government. Normally, they lead the coalition that can secure majority support in the Gylian Chamber of Deputies. The designated Prime Minister chooses cabinet ministers after negotiations and consultations. The President appoints them on the Prime Minister's advice. The resulting cabinet is subject to a motion of confidence, and affirms the oath of office:

I promise to protect and preserve the Constitution and laws, and always serve the general interest and welfare of Gylians.

The Law on Cabinet Representation of 1971 requires prospective ministers to have qualifications or previous experience in the field of their specific portfolios. Gylian governments generally avoid cabinet reshuffles except in emergencies. Ministers are expected to serve their entire term once appointed, unless they resign for health or personal reasons.

By convention, all cabinets include one independent minister without portfolio, generally a professionally trained and senior civil servant, responsible for relations between the cabinet and the administrative agencies.

Functioning

The cabinet mainly operates through weekly meetings. These meetings discuss important topics, examine documents and reports, and vote on decisions to present to Parliament. The Prime Minister chairs the meetings and sets the agenda.

Cabinet meetings are always recorded through an internal taping system, with their recordings and transcripts being stored in the National Archives.

The cabinet's responsibilities are limited by Gylias' federal semi-direct democracy framework. As the federal government, the cabinet's responsibilities are determining policy in accordance with its program, exercising general guidance over the public administration, and preparing preliminary resolutions and decisions for Parliament to consider. Most of its responsibilities are shared with local and regional governments, and its primary role is coordination and management.

While the Prime Minister is recognised as the chair of the cabinet, the Kirisakian origin of the cabinet gives it the character of a collegial system, where ministers are responsible for their own departments as well as the conduct of cabinet as a whole, and have great scope and initiative in advancing proposals or policies.

Terminology

The standard terminology is to treat each cabinet constituted after an election as separate, but cabinets led by the same Prime Minister as part of the same government.

Ministries

The ministries have not changed significantly since their establishment. Current ministries are as follows:

  • Ministry of Agriculture
  • Ministry of Culture and Sport
  • Ministry of Defense
  • Ministry of Economy and Finance
  • Ministry of Education and Research
  • Ministry of the Environment
  • Ministry of Equality and Integration
  • Ministry of Foreign Affairs
  • Ministry of Health
  • Ministry of Housing and Public Works
  • Ministry of Interior Affairs and Public Security
  • Ministry of Justice
  • Ministry of Labour and Social Security
  • Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure
