(1929-1934)
After the Fall of Morwall, the Estmerish government retreated to the northern city of Longwood, declaring itself a government in exile in expectation of Gaullica setting up a puppet state. Colburn continued on as Prime Minister of this government in exile, with the expectation of returning to Morwall, but after the loss of army forces at Dunwich, his position became untenable, and after the government was again relocated to Caldia, he stepped down.

(1873-1951)
30th April 1930 5th October 1930 5 months and 5 days - Constitutionalist
Taking over having served as Colburn's deputy in the national coalition, Mitchell-Woods took over the role of Prime Minister has Colburn's resignation. It soon became clear that he was unable to maintain the confidence of the house, so Mitchell-Woods invited the SDCP to join the coalition. Mithcell-Woods stepped down as Prime Minister to take up the deputy role, with SDCP leader John Henderson taking his place as Prime Minister.

(1864-1939)
5th October 1930 11th February 1932 1 year, 4 months and 6 days - SDCP
Henderson became Prime Minister as his party, the SDCP, joined the wartime national coalition. He initially struggled to maintain the support of the political right for the national coalition, but opposition to him died down when it became clear how dire the situation was. He was considered an apt leader, but he abhored Wolfgar Godfredson, believing that he had ambitions for a military government. When cooperation between the government in exile and the Estmerish Liberation Army became a clear necessity, Henderson lost a vote of no confidence and was replaced by his opposite number.
Austen Chamberlain MP.jpg Lawrence Montgomerie
(1861-1939)
11th February 1932 2nd October 1934 2 years, 7 months and 21 days - SPP
Montgomerie succeeded Henderson as Prime Minister, and was able to secure a good relationship with the Estmerish Liberation Army and Wolfgar Godfredson, which his predecessor had proved unable to do. He rallied support for Estmere during his time in office, recording a number of rallying speeches that were broadcast across occupied Estmere. He continually lobbied the Weranian government to make a push to retake Morwall, and when that operation was possible, saw to it that saw forces from the ELA and government in exile were the first to enter the liberated city. The last Prime Minister to serve under a King, it was Montgomerie who advised that Richard XIII abdicate, leaving the monarchy in a state of regency. Montgomerie stepped down in 1934, joining the new Transitional Authority and being elected to the constitutional assembly.

Godfredson was unanimously elected as Chairperson of the Transitional Authority, and immediately began organising for the elections to compose a constitutional assembly. He worked with the Weranian government to ensure that Estmere recieved a permanent seat on the CNSC and organised a referendum on the monarchy. He also organised a referendum on the status of Borland, and led the Estmerish delegation during the subsequent negotiations. He navigated the 1937 mutiny by leveraging his influence to secure a federal government for Estmere. His final act in office was to officially dissolve the Authority, handing over control of Estmere over to the new Commonwealth.

After his service to the nation in organising Fighting Estmere, and after his work in the Transitional Authority, Montgomerie was then confirmed as the first post-war Prime Minister at the head of a coalition comprising the SPP, NDP, RR and the Constitutionalists. His election was attributed to his own personal popularity. He pushed for a strong reconstruction package that emphasised national unity, but found it difficult to lead his ideologically-fragmented government. He died suddenly in 1939 from a brain hemorrhage, plunging his coalition government into chaos.

(1879-1953)

Gilbert succeeded Montgomerie after his death, continuing the coalition that Montgomerie had assembled. It became clear that the cohesion of the coalition had been compromised, however, and after a dispute over language rights, the Constitutionalists withdrew support for the government, ultimately leading to a general election.
?? Ernest Bevin MP.jpg Vincent Holmes
(1881-1951)
28th October 1941 5th July 1949 7 years, 8 months and 7 days 1941, 1945 SDCP
The SDCP swept to power in the 1941 election, emerging as the largest party and forming a government with support from the Radical Liberals and ESWI. Holmes orchestrated a broad reconstruction effort, nationalisied a number of industries such as coal and steel, and fostered a strong relationship between government, unions and industry. He embarked on a mass house-building and slum-clearing campaign, created a number of new towns, established a national health service, and greatly expanded the welfare state. He led Estmere into the Solarian War, and led the SDCP to a landslide victory as a result. His second term saw the controversial introduction of new taxes and the continuation of war-time austerity, but also the signing of the Euclean Charter and subsequent founding of the Euclean Community. He stepped down due to ill-health.

(1888-1965)
5th July 1949 11th September 1949 2 months and 6 days - SDCP
Moore took over from Holmes with the government facing a funding crisis, with the Radical Liberals threatening to pull support if the budget was not balanced, and ESWI threatening the same if any of the reforms achieved under Holmes were rolled back. Moore operated a lame duck administration for two months, and then called the scheduled general election, hoping to return with a greater share of the seats and a stronger position to negotiate with his coalition partners. The SDCP instead was overtaken by the centre-right coalition.
