The office of prime minister was at first conventional rather than constitutional, and merely by the seemingly most powerful democratically elected member of the Members - later the Barons when the Barony democratised in 1934 - until the [[Constitution of Esthursia|Constitution]] wrote into law the position of prime minister in 1957; 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 the head of government in the Union of Esthursia. The prime minister advises the sovereign on the exercise of much of the royal prerogative, chairs the Cabinet and selects its ministers. As prime ministers are constitutionally obliged to command the confidence of the House of Barons, they must be Barons themselves.

The office of prime minister was at first conventional rather than constitutional, and merely by the seemingly most powerful democratically elected member of the Members - later the Barons when the Barony democratised in 1934 - until the Constitution wrote into law the position of prime minister in 1957; 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 current Prime Minister is Harold Osborne, who took office following the resignation of John Largan effective on the 30th of January, 2015. A vote of no confidence launched on the Prime Minister in March 2015 failed and as such, Osborne has remained in this position as of February 7, 2022. Residency of 192 Llywellyn's Street and position as the First Secretary of the Cabinet are accorded to prime ministers by virtue of their position by the Constitution. Prime Ministers sometimes also hold the position of Secretary for the Union, although this has not been the case since Tharbjorn Einarsson lost the January 2011 general election.
