Government and Politics of British Londinium

Constitution

The current constitution of the Commonwealth was drafted in 2005, by Prime Minister al-Malik and Queen Hemali I, to create a nation in which political and civil freedoms blossom, the economy thrives, and the government is transparent. In May 2006, the constitution was submitted to the provinces, and they ratified it unanimously.

Courts

The D'Oyly Court is the highest court in British Londinium. Its primary purpose is judicial review. The D'Oyly Court reviews all legislation passed by parliament, and it can either inform Parliament of a judicial concern, abrogate the law entirely due to unconstitutionality, or pass it on the Sovereign with approval. D'Oyly Court also is the supreme authority regarding interpretations of Common Law, Civil Law, Acts of Parliament, and the Constitution.

Parliament

Parliament is headquartered in Kensington, not too far from Kensington Palace and the Royal Gardens at Kensington. There are 646 seats in Parliament, and each member is refered to as a Member of Parliament (MP). Each of the 16 provinces recieves 40 seats. Each province's MPs are determined by a proportial representation.

Society

Civil and political rights are highly valued in British Londinium. The nation's schoolchildren are some of the most foul-mouthed in the country, and same-sex marriages are becoming increasingly common, skateparks can be found in every city, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, British Londinium is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and artists are pillars of society. Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, and every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government. Convicted murderers are free to walk the streets provided they attend rehabilitation classes, refugees from other nations are flocking to British Londinium's border, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, and murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour. Crime is totally unknown.
