Ellerton Ministry

The Ellerton ministry began on 6th May 2021, following Cai Ellerton's audience of Queen Elizabeth II, where she invited him to form a new administration following the general election.

Initially, the Ellerton administration set out with a hesitation to work with Shadow Ministers from the Johnson Shadow Cabinet. It is thought that this was due to The People Party's opposition to previous People First Coalition Policies. However, this did not last long, as the administration became prepared to work with the Shadow Cabinet subsequent to the Former Shadow Lord Chancellor Joshua Hansen compelling the cabinet to consider the abolition of crimes of absolute liability relating to fishing.

The administration is thought to be highly environmentally conscious, strong supporters of the Welfare state, and favouring a decentralised and devolved style of governance. Although the Ellerton ministry receives a high level of opposition from parties such as The People Party and the Conservative Party, they have high levels of support amongst the electorate.

Nearing the end of the Ellerton Ministry, several controversial attempts were made to impose a 90% tax on corporate entities. Despite passing all of its stages in the Commons, the bill was rejected by the House of Lords on the basis that it would 'discourage capital formation, entrepreneurship, and establishment of small businesses.'
