The Parliament of Slirnia (Slirnian: Parlament Slirnije) is the unicameral representative body of the citizens of the Republic of Slirnia and Slirnia's legislature. It is composed by 179 representatives or parliamentarians, elected by universal suffrage approximately every four years. Seats are allocated following the D'Hondt method and taking the Slirnian electoral districts as a base. The Parliament is presided by a Speaker, commonly from the leading party inside the legislature, and a Deputy Speaker.
The legislature has its powers defined by the Slirnian Constitution. This power is often shared with that of the Presidency of Slirnia, although in practice, the collective head of state of the Republic is limited to sign laws passed by the legislature; in practice, the Parliament is capable of passing all laws, approving cabinets and granting confidence, issuing motions of confidence, supervising actions took by the government, approving state's accounts and budgets, calling referenda and others. It is withing the powers of the Premier to ask the Presidency for an election before the term has elapsed, in such cases, parliamentarians have only voice in discussing if whether the conditions are given. On a vote of no confidence after a cabinet has assumed, the Parliament can force the Premier, a single Minister or the entire government to resign; however, this has never happened in the history of Slirnia. First sessions of the year are commonly presided by the three members of the Presidency together with the Speaker.
The current legislature is the 8th Parliament, counted since 1995 when the country celebrated the first elections for Premier. The largest political force is the Social Democratic Party, which leads the government and has 48 parliamentarians.
