The High Council of Gristol-Serkonos is the collective decision-making body of the Government of Gristol-Serkonos. It is composed of the Chancellor and 21 cabinet ministers, the most senior of the government ministers.
Appointment
The Monarchs appoints to the Cabinet persons chosen by the Chancellor. While there are no legal qualifications of the potential ministers, there are a number of conventions that are expected be followed. For instance, there is typically a minister from the two constituent countries of the United Kingdom, ministers from visible minority groups, female ministers and, while the majority of those chosen to serve as ministers of the Crown are Members of Parliament, a Cabinet sometimes includes a senator, especially as a representative of a province or region where the governing party won few or no districts. Efforts are further made to indulge interest groups that support the incumbent government and the party's internal politics must be appeased, with Cabinet positions sometimes being a reward for loyal party members.
The size and structure of the Cabinet is relatively malleable, with positions tending to be substantially restructured periodically. The last major period of realignment occurring between 1993 and 1996. Throughout the 20th century, Cabinets had been expanding in size until the Cabinet chaired by Brian Kariwase, with a population of 60 ministers. Kariwase's successor, Toshiko Miki, reduced this number, and Jean Watanabe eliminated approximately 10 members of the ministry from the Cabinet, so that by 1994 there were a total of 23 persons in Cabinet. Under the chairmanship of Cyprien Olivier, the number increased again to 39. It would remain in that vicinity until 2019 when Kaniehtí:io Fox of the Progressive Conservatives reduced the number to 22.
