Line 133:
Because of the fragmented nature of elections to the Great Khural, there are dozens of political parties active at the national level. In order to gain a majority, they band together in alliances and coalitions that often shift membership between and even during the course of legislative sessions. The current majority coalition in the Great Khural is the New Democrat Alliance, which holds 300 seats. The largest party in the New Democrat Alliance is Alva Democrats, which holds 104 seats. The current President of the Great Khural, who is the presiding officer of the body, is Tsakhiagiin Erdenebat, an Alva Democrat. Khan Bagabandi is also a member of the Alva Democrats.
The Great Khural must pass a budget every year, and exercises oversight of government operations. Additionally, treaties signed by the Khan must be ratified by the Great Khural in order to become part of Alvan law. While the Khan appoints judges to national courts, the Great Khural must confirm them. And while the Khan has the power of veto, the Great Khural can override a veto with a 3/5 majority. The ever-shifting nature of political alliances in the legislature as well as the unique process for Khan candidate nomination and the shorter terms in the Great Khural mean that a Khan cannot reliably depend on a majority in the legislature. There is always significant negotiation regarding any nomination or bill before the Great Khural, much of it done in private party caucus meetings or with the leaders of the various tribes, who often control how the tribe-elected members of the Great Khural cast their votes.
