The House of Representatives is an elected chamber with elections to 1,794 single member constituencies held at least every seven years under the [[wikipedia:First-past-the-post system|first-past-the-post system]]. The two houses meet in separate chambers in the Palace of Kalmington. By constitutional convention, all government ministers, including the prime minister, are members of the House of Representatives or, less commonly, the House of Peers and are thereby accountable to the respective branches of the legislature. Most cabinet ministers are from the Representatives, whilst junior ministers can be from either house.
The Parliament of Great Morstaybishlia was formed in 1917 following the signature of [[Thadeus II|King Thadeus II]] on the Great Charter of the Liberties to sign over his right to [[wikipedia:absolutism|absolutism]]. After the [[Auroran Imperial War]], Parliament was further enlarged by Acts of Union ratified by the Parliament of Morstaybishlia and the Parliament of [[South Staynes]] that abolished the latter and added 621
In theory, the MBE's supreme legislative power is officially vested in the Crown-in-Parliament. However, the Crown normally acts on the advice of the prime minister, and the powers of the House of Peers are limited to only delaying legislation; thus power is de facto vested in the House of Representatives.
