King Eldras VI started to move the kingdom away from absolutism into a more constitutional monarchy in late 2020. This move has been met with a lot of controversy within Alksearia. The first government formed was under [[Matthias Barbet]], however, his government came to end in October 2020, leading to then-Princess-Regent Dorothea to call for a new election. The second election will happen on 9th January 2021. Queen Dorothea is the current monarch after the brutal murder of her father, King Eldras VI on live television. This has lead to a war between Balistria and Alksearia, bringing most of the world to war.

After announcing an election, Eldras VI started to work to reform some different laws in the country before the parliament was elected. His last reform was abolishing both the serfdom and the practice of involuntary servitude. The results of the July 2020 election ended with [[Liberal Alksearia]] winning 230 seats, Monarchist Party winning 100 seats, the Nationalist Party winning 94 seats, and a single Independent winning 1 seat. The leader of Liberal Alksearia, Matthias Barbet, formed the first elected government of Alksearia.

During Barbet's tenure, King Eldras VI was kidnapped and executed extra-judiciary in Balistria for "crimes against democracy." This lead to the start of the [[Balistrian Coalition War]]. This war concluded with the annexation of Balistria within Alksearia.

[[File:KOA General Assembly.svg|thumb|300px|left|The composition of The General Assembly as of August 2020: (parties from left to right) '''Government:''' Liberal Alksearia: 290 seats '''Official Opposition:''' Monarchist Party: 126 seats '''Other Opposition:''' Nationalist Party: 118 seats Independent: 1 seat]]

The General Assembly is the lower house of the Parliament, and is the seat of the Government. Each member of the General Assembly represents a district in Alksearia and are elected to a 5 year term. There are currently ~~718~~ Members of ~~Parliament~~ in the General Assembly. The General Assembly has the power to introduce and enact laws. A simple majority is required for all laws to pass. Laws passed by the General Assembly must pass the Senate. If any amendments to the bill are made in the Senate, the General Assembly must confirm the amendments with a simple majority. If an amendment fails in the General Assembly, it is ~~striken~~ from the bill, and the Senate must vote on the original bill or on the bill with any approved amendments. The General Assembly and the Senate help to formulate a budget for the fiscal year.

The General Assembly is the lower house of the Parliament, and is the seat of the Government. Each member of the General Assembly represents a district in Alksearia and are elected to a 5 year term. There are currently 535 Members of the General Assembly in the General Assembly. The General Assembly has the power to introduce and enact laws. A simple majority is required for all laws to pass. Laws passed by the General Assembly must pass the Senate. If any amendments to the bill are made in the Senate, the General Assembly must confirm the amendments with a simple majority. If an amendment fails in the General Assembly, it is stricken from the bill, and the Senate must vote on the original bill or on the bill with any approved amendments. The General Assembly and the Senate help to formulate a budget for the fiscal year.

The General Assembly rarely has all ~~718~~ members sitting in session at the same time. All ~~MPs~~ are required to be in the Assembly Chamber during an Opening Session, a Closing session, a Voting session, and a Special Session. Most meetings outside of those sessions happen within Committees or Conferences. All MPs are required to be a member at least one Committee and one Conference, and they are not allowed to be in more than 3 Committees and 3 Conferences. A sitting Chair is not allowed to sit as a member of the Cabinet of the Prime Minister.

A sitting Chair is not allowed to sit as a member of the Cabinet of the Prime Minister.

The General Assembly also has the power to confirm the Prime Minister's nominations to cabinet positions. While it is not required that member as of the Cabinet be from the ~~ruling~~ Party, it has been observed that all members of the Cabinet have been from the ~~Ruling~~ Party. PM Matthias Barbet was once asked why he never considered an opposition member for a Cabinet position, and he simple said, "It is my job to lead a nation, and the only one I know who will help me are members of my party. We have the votes and we hold the majority. I do not need the Opposition poisoning the Government."

While it is not required that member as of the Cabinet be from the Governing Party, it has been observed that all members of the Cabinet have been from the Governing Party.

We have the votes and we hold the majority. I do not need the Opposition poisoning the Government."

While the government is formed by the majority, the Opposition forms the Shadow Government. Being a Shadow Minister does not give any addition power to an MP. The leader of the Shadow Government is the Leader of the Opposition. During the previous session, the Leader of the Opposition was [[David Pernet]] of the Monarchist Party. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition is [[Fabien Morel]] from the Nationalist Party. The Shadow Government was formed as a coalition against Liberal Alksearia and the "radical changes they sought to bring to our Kingdom, and to push back against the slander of the Monarchy." The Shadow government was given a chance to form a full government on 16th October 2020, however, the proposal died on the floor when Liberal Alksearia voted unanimously against the motion of a Minority government.

The current ruling Party, [[Liberal Alksearia]], held a majority of seats in the General Assembly with 290 seats after an election in late July 2020. They held onto this majority until 15th October 2020, when the government fell with the arrest of Matthias Barbet~~, and the leadership of Liberal Alksearia unable to reach a decision on a new leader~~. On 16th October 2020, Liberal Alksearia voted against a proposal to form a Minority hold-over government that would be controlled by the Opposition. With the rejection of this proposal, ~~the~~ ~~role~~ of ~~caretaker~~ ~~Government~~ was ~~handed~~ to the ~~Lady~~ ~~Governor~~ of the ~~Senate~~ ~~with~~ ~~consent~~ of the ~~House~~ of ~~Commons~~.

On 16th October 2020, Liberal Alksearia voted against a proposal to form a Minority hold-over government that would be controlled by the Opposition. With the rejection of this proposal, a special election was called. In the Interim, Liberal Alksearia was renamed to the National Alksearia Party (NAP) to better reflect the values that the party stood for, and to distance themselves from Barbet. The leader of NAP, Enzo Giraud, has had the difficult task of leading an extremely small minority government after [[Roland Jerome]] split with the party after the NAP leadership convention.

A special election ~~will~~ ~~happen~~ on 9th January 2021, ~~but~~ final official results ~~won't~~ be in ~~until~~ 12th January, ~~2021.~~ ~~As of 6th January 2021,~~ the ~~polls suggest a plurality~~ of ~~seats~~ ~~will~~ go ~~to Liberal-Democrats with~~ the ~~Nationalists~~ ~~having~~ ~~the~~ ~~second~~ most ~~amount~~ of ~~seats~~ in ~~the~~ ~~General Assembly~~.

A special election was planned to occur on 9th January 2021 and final official results would be in on 12th January, however, with the events of the [[Balistrian Coalition War]], the election was delayed as most of southern Alksearia was occupied. This election sees an expansion of the General Assembly from 535 seats to 725 seats to reflect the changes. Before the formal announcement of the delay of the election, polling data suggests that Liberal-Democrats would have a majority government.

[INSERT MASSIVE RETCON HERE]

The Senate is presided over by the Lord/Lady Governor of the Senate. The current Lady Governor is [[Claire Bennet]]. Her tenure has been hallmarked by the start of the democratic General Assembly, the Liberal-Democrat controversy, the arrest of Matthias Barbet~~, and the first placeholder government. Also during her tenure, she formally established the position as the leader of the Senate, and not just a figurehead of the Senate~~.
