The '''Parliament of Valentir''' (officially the '''Federal Parliament''') is the {{wp|Legislature|legislative branch}} of the [[Government of Valentir|government of Valentir]]. It consists of three elements: the President (who functions as the representative of the executive), the Senate and the Assembly. The combination of two elected chambers, in which the members of the Senate represent the provinces and territories while the members of the House represent electoral divisions according to population, is modeled on the [[Federation of Asteria|Asterian Congress]]. Through both chambers, however, there is a fused executive, drawn from the [[Estmere|Estmerish System]].
The upper house, the Senate, consists of 150 members: ten for each of the provinces. Senators are elected using the single transferable vote proportional representation system and as a result, the chamber features a multitude of parties vying for power. The governing party or coalition has not held a majority in the Senate since 1956 (except between 1987–1990) and usually needs to negotiate with other parties and Independents to get legislation passed.
The lower house, the Assembly, currently consists of 600 members, each elected using {{wp|First-past-the-post|first-past-the-post}} voting from single-member constituencies known as electoral divisions (and commonly referred to as "electorates" or "seats"). This has led to a tendency for the chamber to be dominated by two major political groups, the centre-right Conservative Party and the centre-left Labour Party. This trend was recently broken after the National Liberals formed a government following the 2017 election. They are the first minor party to form a government since 1907. The government of the day must achieve the confidence of this Assembly in order to gain and remain in power.
