Deputy Prime Minister of Georgeland

The Deputy Prime Minister of Georgeland is Georgeland's second-highest Cabinet position and the second-in-command of Georgeland's executive government.

Prior to 2005, the Deputy Prime Minister was an honorary title, given to the deputy leader of the governing party or the leader of the junior partner in a coalition government. The Deputy Prime Minister always held a senior government position as well, often Treasurer or Foreign Minister.

In 2005, following the election, Prime Minister Campbell Rhodes created a new department, the Department of the Deputy Prime Minister, and appointed his current deputy, Zoë Parker to the role. It is not clear whether future Prime Ministers will continue this or revert back to the previous system. Both Parker and Andrea Perkins, a former Deputy PM herself, have confirmed they will maintain the DDPM if they win the prime ministership.

Unlike in some countries, there is no automatic succession and the Deputy Pm does not automatically become Prime Minister in the event the leadership falls vacant. It is, however, usual for the President of Georgeland to appoint the Deputy Prime Minister as temporary, acting PM until someone is elected to replace them.
