Parliament of Rhwddyr

The Parliament of Rhwddyr (Rhwddyraith: Gyndaefyr Rhwddyr) is the Supreme Legislative Body in the Republic of Rhwddyr. It operates under the Doctrine of Parliamentary Supremacy, with no limitation on its power, with the exception of the Presidential Veto, which can be overturned with a 3/5 Majority in the House. It is Bicameral, consisting of the Senate (Rhwddyraith: Gyndyldru) and the House of Representatives (Rhwddyraith: Reikyndae). Both meet in the Parliamentary Assembly Building in Durton, Efnurddyr, in separate chambers.

In Rhwddyr, the Two Major Political Parties are the Left Wing Socialist Labour Party (Faêch Rhêímyzfyr Sycrhellín (FRS)) and the Centre Right One Nation (Dwruddyr yne (DDY)). These Parties are both Dominant, but rely on other parties to form governments due to the Proportional System of the House of Representatives. The Current Government is a coalition between the FRS, the Social Democratic Party (Faêch Rhêíffyr Syheri (FRF)), the Enviromentalist Party (Faêch Gyrscddyr (FGD)) and the Progressive Democrats (Rhêíffyr Tícytílllín (RTT)). Opposition Parties in the House consist of DDY, as well as the Conservative Party (Faêch Gyrhdwruddyrllín (FGDL), The Liberal Party (Faêch Cychllín (FCY) and the Isolationist, Right Wing Forever Alone (Ynedyn Tícytíl (YDT)).

The Speakers of the Senate and the House are both independently appointed civil servants, and not members of the house, in order to limit political bias.
