This event is known as the Glorious Ninth of March, Aemond's reactionary attitudes earned him the opposition of the Vionna-Frankenlischian nobility and led to the election of a comparatively liberal Imperial government.

A Royalist military leader during the War of Restoration, Richard Kimberly-Wilton was placed at the head of the military junta that led Vionna-Frankenlisch in the immediate aftermath of that conflict. After a year, he was appointed Prime Minister in an Imperial Party government and elections were reinstated. Though relatively popular and responsible for an excellent rebuilding scheme, his unelected government did not survive the 1986 election.

Royalist Government-in-Exile (1970-80)

During the Red Decade, the Royalist Government-in-Exile operated as a shadow government for the exiled royalists and anti-socialists from Vionna-Frankenlisch. Under George, Duke of Grythshead (reigning as King George), this government retained a Prime Minister from 1970 to 1980.

The position of Prime Minister existed in the Democratic People's Republic of Vionna-Frankenlisch from 1968.

The last Prime Minister of the DPRVF to hold a full term of four years. Roberts was a Harrisonite, stewarded to his position by Marshal Howell to in an attempt to regain influence over his government. Roberts put an end to the War of Resistance by allowing an amnesty and reaching a peace settlement with Imperial Wolfswood. His percieved softness compared to previous leaders earned him ridicule amongst his party collegues but Royalists dubbed him the one 'good socialist' and he was treated generously following the War of Restoration.

Albert
(r. 1933-1967)
A wildly unpopular and unsuccessful Prime Minister. Lavinia Walcroft was hated by most of her own party for her right-wing rhetoric and was only chosen due to her oratory skills and experience at keeping the Labour Party united (she had previously been Chief Whip). This experience did not help her once she was in office and her government lasted less than a year.

Elected in 1960 to lead a minority Labour government. Standhope found himself frustrated at every turn by his more numerical opponents in Parliament and resigned from his position in 1962 without calling a general election, his replacement was instead decided by a party leadership election. This caused a minor constitutional crisis which was resolved in November 1963 when King Albert dissolved Parliament.

Albert
(r. 1933-1967)
Victorious in the 1954 election, Harrison led the liberal-left wing of the Labour Party. An incredibly popular prime minister, Harrison enjoyed close relations with the nobility and was instrumental in introducing much of the early equal rights legislation in Vionna-Frankenlisch. In spite of this, he never abandoned his working-class voting base and roots, fostering strong industrial relations during his four years in office. Poor health forced him to resign from the party leadership for the 1958 election, leading to a Conservative victory - albeit with a minority in Parliament.

Albert
(r. 1933-1967)
Elected for a full four-year term, MacHammond led Vionna-Frankenlisch into the Decade of Calm. His reforms promoted the expansion of city infrastructure and urban economics. In 1962, several of MacHammond's MPs crossed the floor following a controversial motion to allow nobles to lease their land to be managed by agricultural corporations, a hastily organised coalition with the Liberal Party saved his government but he lost the 1954 election to Reginald Harrison.

The first female Prime Minister of Vionna-Frankenlisch. Laura Gillingham's government was not elected but instead appointed by King Albert to act as a provisional leadership following the end of the emergency Conservative leadership of Sir Anthony Maclean. Gillinham's government lasted less than a year before the situation in Vionna-Frankenlisch was considered stable enough to allow for a regular election, which was won by the Labour Party in a landslide.

Albert
(r. 1933-1967)
Elected in 1938 at the head of an unsteady Conservative government. Sir Anthony Maclean remained in office for almost seven years without a second election as he was retained in office to lead an emergency government during the troubled period of the early 1940s.

Robinson's Conservatives replaced Smith-Harriet's Conservatives in government following the 1934 election.

17 February 1926 11 August 1928 906 Imperial Party Garnet Ministry 1926 King Alexander II (later).jpg
Alexander II
(r. 1897-1933)
The election following the Maidwick Scandal allowed the Imperial Party to capitalise on the unclear foreign policy of Charles Cairnway's Labour goverment. Lord Garnet's government only led a minority in parliament but managed to hold on to power for two years and prevent opposition in Parliament from defunding the Imperial Navy.

(1868–1944)
11 August 1924 17 February 1926 524 Labour Party Cairnway Ministry 1924 King Alexander II (later).jpg
Alexander II
(r. 1897-1933)
First Prime Minister to come from the Labour Party. Public fears over Communist encroachment proved unfounded as Cairnway's government proved moderate. The Maidwick Scandal ended his minority government and doomed the Labour Party to the opposition for twenty years.
