The Parliament of Sel Appa (French: Parlement du Sel Appa) is the national legislature of Sel Appa, seated at the Parliament Building in Nemnenait.
History
The Parliament of Sel Appa was founded in 2005 after the end of the John Alexander dictatorship. It essentially replaced the House of Earls during the monarchy period.
Membership
Parliament has 351 representatives, ten for every province, and one for the capital. However, they are elected from national proportional lists.
Elections
Originally, elections were scheduled to be held every seven years. However, after the new constitution was passed in 2010, this was changed to five years, unless Parliament is dissolved early. Parties are voted for on national lists based on proportional representation.
After an election, the sitting Chancellor presides over the new Parliament, even if they are not a member. Typically, parties have pre-opening agreements to form a coalition government. If they have been unable to do so by the Opening of Parliament, the Chancellor gavels out, and the party delegations return to their respective chambers. Each party leader appoints a number of deputies to negotiate a coalition with other parties. Once a sufficient number of parties sign pre-coalition agreements, a coalition can be formed. If a majority is obtained, they form the Government. The largest party in the minority leads the Opposition. It is permissible to have a minority government supported by a party not in the coalition agreement.
Committees
Current composition
The Liberal Party initially elected 156 representatives, however 31 were expelled by party leader Tourmont after voting against him at a no confidence vote. They subsequently formed a bloc known as Independent Liberals and sat in Opposition. After the Russians voted for independence in 2022, their representatives were rarely present and would abstain during votes. In 2023, the Communist Party voted to joined DSU. In 2024, when the Russian region became independent, their seats were declared vacant and with Russkiy Golosa defunct, the seats could not be filled. Thus, Parliament only had 284 members for the rest of the term.
