The [[Provinces and territories of Canada|Canadian province]] of [[New Brunswick]] was a British [[crown colony]] before it joined [[Canada]] in 1867.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=November 9, 2008 |url=http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/confederation/023001-2110-e.html |title=Canadian Confederation |date=May 2, 2005 |publisher=Library and Archives Canada |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080622201545/http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/confederation/023001-2110-e.html |archive-date=June 22, 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It had a system of [[responsible government]] beginning in 1854, and has kept its own legislature to deal with provincial matters.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=November 9, 2008 |url=http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/confederation/023001-2974-e.html |title=Responsible Government |date=May 2, 2005 |publisher=Library and Archives Canada |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080621130920/http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/confederation/023001-2974-e.html |archive-date=June 21, 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> New Brunswick has a unicameral [[Westminster-style]] [[parliamentary government]], in which the premier is the leader of the party that has the confidence of the [[Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick|Legislative Assembly]] to form a government. The premier is New Brunswick's [[head of government]], and the [[king of Canada]] is its [[head of state]] and is represented by the [[lieutenant governor of New Brunswick]]. The premier picks a cabinet from the elected members to form the [[Executive Council of New Brunswick]], and presides over that body.<ref name=process>{{cite web|access-date=November 9, 2008|url=http://www.gnb.ca/legis/publications/tradition/legtrad4-e.asp|title=The Legislative Process |publisher=Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick }}</ref>

Members are first elected to the legislature during [[List of New Brunswick general elections|general elections]]. General elections must be conducted every five years from the date of the last election, but the premier may ask for early dissolution of the Legislative Assembly. An election may also take place if the governing party loses the confidence of the legislature by the defeat of a supply bill or tabling of a confidence motion.<ref name=process />

New Brunswick has had 37 individuals serve as first minister. The province had five individuals as leaders while a colony, and 32 individuals after Canadian Confederation, of which two were from the [[Confederation Party]], 11 from the [[Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick]], 16 from the [[New Brunswick Liberal Association]], one from the [[Anti-Confederation Party]], and seven with unofficial party affiliations.
