The position of [[wikipedia:Prime Minister|prime minister]] is the head of government of Great Morstaybishlia.

By convention, the monarch respects the prime minister's decisions of government.

The cabinet is drawn from members of the prime minister's party or coalition and mostly from the House of Representatives but always from both legislative houses, the cabinet being responsible for both. The work is divided according to topics called portfolios occupied by Ministers of the Crown. Other executive officials may attend cabinet meetings but may not vote. Executive power is exercised by the prime minister and cabinet, all of who are sworn into the Privy Council of Great Morstaybishlia, and become Ministers of the Crown. The current Prime Minister is [[Franklin Barvata]] who has held office since 27 February 2019. Barvata is also the leader of the [[MBE Labour|Labour Party]]. For elections to the House of Representatives, the MBE is divided into 1,794 constituencies, each electing a single member of parliament (MP) by [[wikipedia:plurality voting|simple plurality]]. General elections are called by the monarch when the prime minister so advises. The Fixed-tern Parliaments Act 1946 required that a new election must be called no later than seven years after the previous general election.
