The '''Parliament of Gristol-Serkonos''' ('''Latin''': ''Parlamentum'', '''Nordic''': ''Stortinget'', '''Kanienʼkéha''': ''Kanonhséshne'')  is the {{wp|bicameral}} 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 {{wp|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.

Under the doctrine of {{wp|parliamentary supremacy}}, 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.

Defined in the Federal Constitution, neither Federal Monarch participates in the legislative process save for the signifying the Monarchs' approval to a bill passed by the Parliament, known as granting the Royal Assent. The Royal Assent is necessary for a bill to be enacted as law and the Monarchs are immune from acts of Parliament unless expressed in the act itself.
While the Federal Monarchs are not barred from the lower Council of Representatives, any parliamentary ceremonies in which they are involved take place in the upper Council of the State by tradition. The Monarchs also participate in the State Opening of Parliament when a new legislative session is declared.
Members of the two Councils of Parliament must also express their loyalty to the Monarchs and defer to their authority. The Oath of Office is sworn by parliamentarians before they take their seats. Notably, the Independent Group, an elected political party that has expressed separatist and republican views
has never taken their Oath of Office since the political party's founding. While they have elected members of parliament in both Councils, they are considered an {{wp|Abstentionism|absentionist}} faction in the Parliament.

Powers of the Parliament of Gristol-Serkonos are limited by the Federal Constitution. The legislative powers are divided between the federal and legislatures of the Constituent Countries. In general, legislatures of the Constituent Countries are granted powers to pass legislation relating to topics explicitly reserves for them in the constitution such as education, provincial officers, municipal government, charitable institutions, and "matters of a merely local or private nature".

Matters not under the exclusive authority of the Constituent Countries are within the scope of the federal Parliament's power. The Federal Parliament alone can pass laws relating to, among other things, the postal service, census, military, navigation and shipping, fishing, currency, banking, weights and measures, bankruptcy, copyrights, patents, and naturalization.

Jurisdictions of the federal and legislatures of the Constituent Countries in certain areas may be vague. For instance, the federal parliament regulates marriage and divorce in general, but the solemnization of marriage is regulated only by the legislatures of the Constituent Countries. Other examples include the powers of both the federal and the legislatures of the Constituent Countries to impose taxes, borrow money, punish crimes, and regulate agriculture.

The Parliament of Gristol-Serkonos (Latin: Parlamentum, Nordic: Stortinget, Kanienʼkéha: Kanonhséshne) is the bicameral 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 supremacy, 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 four years under the first-past-the-post system for 626 local area representatives while the remaining 184 members are elected through proportional representation based on their national vote. 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 2023, is the 50th since Union.

Composition

The body consists of the Gristo-Serkonan Federal Monarchs; an upper house, the Council of the State; and a lower house, the Council of Representatives. Each elements has its own officers and organization. Each has their own distinct role, but works in conjuction within the legislative process. Only those who sit in the Council of Representatives are granted the title of Member of Parliament. Though legislatively less powerful, Senators are ranked higher in the national order of precedence. No individual may serve in more than one chamber at the time.

Monarchs

Anna I Eist
Queen of the Constituent Kingdom of Gristol, Co-Monarch of Gristol-Serkonos
Tehwehron
Grand Chief of the Constituent League of Serkonos, Co-Monarch of Gristol-Serkonos

Defined in the Federal Constitution, neither Federal Monarch participates in the legislative process save for the signifying the Monarchs' approval to a bill passed by the Parliament, known as granting the Royal Assent. The Royal Assent is necessary for a bill to be enacted as law and the Monarchs are immune from acts of Parliament unless expressed in the act itself.

While the Federal Monarchs are not barred from the lower Council of Representatives, any parliamentary ceremonies in which they are involved take place in the upper Council of the State by tradition. The Monarchs also participate in the State Opening of Parliament when a new legislative session is declared.

Members of the two Councils of Parliament must also express their loyalty to the Monarchs and defer to their authority. The Oath of Office is sworn by parliamentarians before they take their seats. Notably, the Independent Group, an elected political party that has expressed separatist and republican views has never taken their Oath of Office since the political party's founding. While they have elected members of parliament in both Councils, they are considered an absentionist faction in the Parliament.

Jurisdiction

Powers of the Parliament of Gristol-Serkonos are limited by the Federal Constitution. The legislative powers are divided between the Federal Government and the Constituent Countries. In general, legislatures of the Constituent Countries are granted powers to pass legislation relating to topics explicitly reserves for them in the constitution such as education, provincial officers, municipal government, charitable institutions, and "matters of a merely local or private nature".

Matters not under the exclusive authority of the Constituent Countries are within the scope of the federal Parliament's power. The Federal Parliament alone can pass laws relating to, among other things, the postal service, census, military, navigation and shipping, fishing, currency, banking, weights and measures, bankruptcy, copyrights, patents, and naturalization.

Jurisdictions of the federal and legislatures of the Constituent Countries in certain areas may be vague. For instance, the federal parliament regulates marriage and divorce in general, but the solemnization of marriage is regulated only by the legislatures of the Constituent Countries. Other examples include the powers of both the federal and the legislatures of the Constituent Countries to impose taxes, borrow money, punish crimes, and regulate agriculture.

Officers

Standing Committees

The Gristo-Serkonan Parliament has 43 standing committees, with 23 committees in the Council of Representatives, 16 in the Council of the State, and three joint committees. These committees are established by Standing Orders of the Council of Representatives or the Council of the State. These committees have many particular responsibilities to examine the administration, policy development, and budgetary estimates of certain government departments and agencies.
