Danaan Parliament

The Parliament is the legislature of the Resurgent Dream. It is a unicameral body consisting of 364 members. Of these members, 339 are directly elected by the people of the various principalities and 25 are appointed by the governments of the principalities.

Parliament has the right to pass any law which does not contradict the Agwenian Edicts, in other words it is bound to respect certain rights reserved for the principalities and the people, as well as certain permanent institutions, most prominently the judiciary. Parliament can only exercise its legislative authority with the royal assent, although this has never been denied.

Parliament contains within itself the political executive. The leader of the plurality party in Parliament is normally given a mandate to form a government from the Crown, unless the high king has been made aware beforehand of a coalition led by a party other than the plurality party which nonetheless possesses a majority of total seats. Whoever receives the mandate must quickly form a government capable of receiving a vote of confidence from Parliament. If Parliament refuses to place confidence in the government or, if at any later point after having placed confidence in the government, Parliament passes a motion of no confidence, new elections must be held immediately.
