The Parliament of Gristol-Serkonos (Latin: Parlamentum, Nordic: Stortinget, Kanienʼkéha: Kanonhséshne) is the federal legislature of the United Kingdom of Gristol-Serkonos. The body consists of the Gristol and Serkonan monarchs, who make up the Federal Crowns, an upper house, the Council of the State; and a lower house, the Council of Representatives. Under the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty, the Parliament holds the ultimate power over all other political bodies in Gristol-Serkonos. The two chambers meet at the Palace of the People in Pontiac-Bernadotte, the national capital.
Each element has its own officers and organization. By convention, the Council of Representatives hold parliamentary dominance, with the Council of the State rarely opposing its will. The Council of the State reviews legislation from a less partisan standpoint and the monarch or viceroy provides royal assent to make bills into law.
The Council of the State includes two types of senators. There are 40 Hereditary Senators are appointed by the Federal Crowns which represents the hereditary Tribal Chiefs in Serkonos and the lesser Lords of the Manor Lands in Gristol. Second, is the 160 Elected Senators who are appointed by the party leaders from the Council of Representatives based on their seats. The Council of Representatives is an elected chamber with elections to 810 single member constituencies held at least every five years under the first-past-the-post system for 626 representatives while the remaining 184 members are elected through proportional representation based on their . General elections must be called by the monarchs either by the advice of the Chancellor or if the government loses a confidence vote in the House. All government ministers, including the prime minister, are members of the Council of Representatives, less commonly, the Senators from the Council of the State and are thereby accountable to the respective branches of the legislature. Most cabinet ministers are from the Council of Representatives, whilst junior ministers can be from either house.
In theory, the supreme legislative power in Gristol-Serkonos is officially vested in the Crown-in-Parliament. However, the Federal Crowns normally acts on the advice of the Chancellor, and the powers of the Council of the State are limited to only delaying legislation; thus power is de facto vested in the Council of Representatives. The most recent Parliament, summoned by Queen Anna of Gristol and Grand Duke Tehwehron of Serkonos in 2019, is the 49th since Union.
