The Assembly of the Inner Sekidean Union, also known simply as the Sekidean Assembly, also archaically and erraniously sometimes called the Sekidean Parliament, is the lower house of the Sekidean Parliament, forming along with the Sekidean Council a bicameral legislature. It is created to represent the people living in the Inner Sekidean Union, and therefore is directly elected, unlike its counterpart.

History

The predecessor of the current Assembly was founded on January 1st, 1985 (with the first elections and preparatory work happening in 1984). Its first two convocations were elected by the member states' legislatures, while the first direct elections for the whole populace were held on 18 January 1992.

The parliament originally had little to no rights, as it was subservient to the proposals and regulations by the Sekidean Council and the Sekidean Committee. This, among other problems, caused friction and distrust in the institutions of the Sekidean Union, until the system was reformed in 2012 with the establishment of the Inner Sekidean Union.

The 2012 election was the first one taking place exclusively in the Sekidean Union's Inner Circle, instead of the whole union, as the Assembly's (renamed from the Sekidean Parliament) rights have been expanded. At the same time, the number of MSPs has been set to 500.

Overview

The Sekidean Assembly (Before 2012 called the "Sekidean Parliament") has a number of seats fixed at 500 and is directly elected by the populace of the Inner Sekidean Union. It uses a special distribution method, to favor less populous countries, while the more populous need more people per single duputy. Current number of deputees is:

Deputies are elected using party-list proportional representation, with approval voting being applicable candidates on the ballot. If a member of the parliament dies, its replacement is automatically picked as the best ranking person on the ballot from the country he was from, that didn't make it into the parliament. The assembly can be dissolved, if 3/4 of members vote for it (this has never happened as of 2022), else the term is 5 years. There have been 7 elections so far:

First two convocations were indirectly elected by the state legislatures:

Elections to the Assembly

Elections to the Sekidean Assembly are carried out using the Siedem method, using an electoral threshold of 4%, 15 reserved seats per constituency and 500 total seats.

Parties

Due to the specifics of the Siedem method, it is favorable for the candidates to form coalitions across the country lines, creating broad, often highly decentralized, coalitions of likeminded people, that united national parties in the countries of the Sekidean Union. Currently, there are 11 such coalition-parties represented in the Assembly:

  •   SCI – Sekidean Communist International, currently represented by 9 MSPs
  •   DS-SD – Democratic Socialists - Social Democrats, currently represented by 154 MSPs
  •   Green – Coalition of Green and Ecology-Minded Parties, currently represented by 105 MSPs
  •   PULL – People's Union of Liberal Leftists, currently represented by 42 MSPs
  •   PFSC – Party for Federalization of Sekidean Countries, currently represented by 21 MSPs
  •   AMPP – Alliance of Minor Political Parties, currently represented by 10 MSPs
  •   SUCP – Sekidean Union of Civic Parties, currently represented by 67 MSPs
  •   UPSMR – United Party of Sekidean Monarchists and Royalists, currently represented by 26 MSPs
  •   PSFMP – Pan-Sekidean Free Market Party, currently represented by 24 MSPs
  •   SCA – Sekidean Conservative Alliance, currently represented by 25 MSPs
  •   PNS – Parties for National Sovereignity, currently represented by 15 MSPs
