The Government of South Australia follows the Westminster system, with a Parliament of South Australia acting as the legislature. The Premier is appointed by the Governor of South Australia, and by modern convention holds office by virtue of his or her ability to command the support of a majority of members of the lower house of Parliament, the House of Assembly. Steven Marshall is the current Premier, having served since 19 March 2018. HistoryPre-PartyBefore the 1890s when there was no formal party system in South Australia, MPs tended to have historical liberal or conservative beliefs. The liberals dominated government from the 1893 election to 1905 election with the support of the South Australian United Labor Party, with the conservatives mostly in opposition. Labor took government with the support of eight dissident liberals in 1905 when Labor won the most seats for the first time. The rise of Labor saw non-Labor politics start to merge into various party incarnations. The two independent conservative parties, the Australasian National League (formerly National Defence League) and the Farmers and Producers Political Union merged with the Liberal and Democratic Union to become the Liberal Union in 1910. Labor formed South Australia's first majority government after winning the 1910 state election, triggering the merger. The 1910 election came two weeks after federal Labor formed Australia's first elected majority government at the 1910 federal election. No "Country" or rural conservative parties emerged as serious long-term forces in South Australian state politics, often folding into the main non-Labor party. List of Premiers of South AustraliaThe first six Governors of South Australia oversaw governance from proclamation in 1836 until self-government and an elected Parliament of South Australia was enacted in the year prior to the inaugural 1857 election. {{nobold>(for political parties) | colwidth=30em}}{{legend|{{Independent politician/meta/color}}|Independent|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}}{{legend|{{Liberalism/meta/color}}|Liberalism|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}}{{legend|{{Commonwealth Liberal/meta/color}}|Conservatism|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}}{{legend|{{Nationalist Party of Australia/meta/color}}|Liberal Federation/Union|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}}{{legend|{{Liberal and Country League (SA)/meta/color}}|Liberal & Country|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}}{{legend|{{Liberal Party of Australia/meta/color}}|Liberal|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}}{{legend|{{Australian Labor Party/meta/color}}|Labor|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}}{{div col end}} |
