The Parliament is bicameral, thus consists of an upper- and a lower house, the House of Senate and House of Delegates respectively. The number of seats within the House of Delegates is fixed, per the Parliament Act, however the number of seats within the House of Senate is always expanding, as former (and current) presidents and cabinet members are also and remain part of the House for life. However, because of this, the power of votes from the House of Senate weigh less than that of the much stronger and democratic House of Delegates. Senators are appointed by the current President with advice from the House of Delegates, and unofficially customary advice from his current Prime Minister.

abstract
  • The Parliament is bicameral, thus consists of an upper- and a lower house, the House of Senate and House of Delegates respectively. The number of seats within the House of Delegates is fixed, per the Parliament Act, however the number of seats within the House of Senate is always expanding, as former (and current) presidents and cabinet members are also and remain part of the House for life. However, because of this, the power of votes from the House of Senate weigh less than that of the much stronger and democratic House of Delegates. Senators are appointed by the current President with advice from the House of Delegates, and unofficially customary advice from his current Prime Minister. Delegates are elected every two years by the population within each county or independent city, and are able to serve for three consecutive terms (6 years), thereafter they must either wait one term (2 years) before running for office again, or retire. It's custom for delegates to request of the president to make them senators once a seat within the upper house opens, and such requests have been met regularly. There are no political parties within New England (however, political organizations do exist), thus all delegates are assumed to follow either their own or their constituency's ideology. Parliamentary leadership has however allowed for the general classification of members into three groups: liberals (represented by red), centrists (represented by grey), and conservatives (represented by blue). Delegates and senators may change their classification at any time as it holds little significance. Each house meets in their own chambers within the Parliament Building in Philadelphia.
