The Prime Minister of Fluvique (French: Premier ministre de la Fluvique; Español: Primer Ministro de Fluvique) is the primary minister of the Crown, chairman of the Cabinet, and thus head of government for Fluvique, charged with advising the Canadian monarch on the exercise of the executive powers vested in them by the constitution. Outlined in the 1870 constitution, the office exists since 1872, when it was inaugurated by John Swanson. The monarch must select as prime minister the person most likely to command the confidence of the House of Representatives; this individual is typically the leader of the political party that holds the largest number of seats in that chamber. Fluviquean prime minister are styled as His/Her Excellency (French: Son exellence; Espanish: Su excelencia) a privilege maintained for life.

The current, and 25th, Prime Minister of Fluvique is the Social Justice's August Mooine, the first woman to hold office who was appointed on February 28, 2008, by King George, following the general election that took place in 2007.

Origin of the office

When the Kingdom of Fluvique was stablished in 1871, the constitution of 1867 incorporated the title of Chief of Cabinet as head of government, while the Monarch of Fluvique was head of state and president of the Council of Ministers. At the beginning of the XX century, the role of the monarch was merely ceremonial and the effective control of the country was undertaken by the Chief of Cabinet. The title of Prime Minister or Premier was used for the first time in 1908 in official documents.

As the "Head of Her Majesty's Government" the Prime Minister leads the Cabinet (the Executive). In addition the Prime Minister leads a major political party and generally commands a majority in the House of Representatives (the lower house of the parliament). In the House of Representatives, the Prime Minister guides the law-making process with the goal of enacting the legislative agenda of their political party. In an executive capacity the Prime Minister appoints (and may dismiss) all other cabinet members and ministers, and co-ordinates the policies and activities of all government departments. The Prime Minister also acts as the public "face" and "voice" of Her Majesty's Government, both at home and abroad. Solely upon the advice of the Prime Minister, the Sovereign exercises many statutory and prerogative powers.

Term of office

The Fluviquean prime minister inherited a custom born after the April Revolution. The revolutionaries tried to avoid the stablishment of a dictatorship with stablishing fixed terms for the head of state. However, they failed and the country sooner left the idea of a single head of state. Thus, when the Kingdom was stablished in 1870, the term was fixed in six years and re-election of the same Prime Minister was limited to one.

In 1942, the new constitution lowered the term of office to 5 years and kept the restriction to one re-election, but only if the prime minister has been more than three years in charge. Thus, if a snap election is called in the first two years of its second term, the current prime minister could ran again. The lifespan of parliament is limited by the constitution to five years and, though the Queen may still, on the advice of the prime minister, dissolve parliament and issue the writs of election prior to the date mandated by the Fluviquean Elections Act. However, a prime minister never has called a snap election and parliaments never has been dissolved before the limited lifespan
