The [[Concilium Daoni]] is the lower chamber of the Kingdom's national legislature and its primary legislative body, and it is led by the [[Chancellor and Temporary President]] who serves as majority leader within the Daoni. The Chancellor nominates the members of the [[Concilium Purpaidá]], although they are formally appointed by the King via constitutional advice. Members of the Daoni, called [[Delegate (Urcea)|Delegates]], are elected from 500 single-member constituencies using first past the post voting. Made up of committees that mirror the structure of the [[Concilium Purpaidá]], the Daoni considers legislation as well as treaties and Royal budgets.

The Daoni is joined by the [[Gildertach]], the nation's upper chamber, which is comprised of representatives from each of the [[Guilds (Urcea)|guilds]] in Urcea. The Gildertach's responsibilities are primarily constrained to approving or denying trade deals and regulating the guild system itself. | The Daoni is joined by the [[Gildertach]], the nation's upper chamber, which is comprised of representatives from each of the [[Guilds (Urcea)|guilds]] in Urcea.

As a consequence of the division of power between the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|King]], the [[Procurator]], and the [[Chancellor and Temporary President]], there are four distinct political power structures that can take form. In a situation where the Procurator and Chancellor are of the same party, members of the [[Concilium Purpaidá]] are all from the leadership's party and that party's platform become the government's program. When a Procurator and Chancellor come from a different party but reach an agreement called a "Purpaidá Coalition", whereby a minority of members of the Purpaidá are appointees of the Procurator's party in exchange for a mutually agreed upon policy program being established by the Procurator. In a situation where a hung [[Concilium Daoni|Daoni]] exists, the Procurator can help broker a majority coalition in the Daoni, whereby a mix of the Procurator and Chancellor's parties sit on the Purpaidá in a roughly even split between parties. In the final form, the Procurator and Chancellor are of different parties and do not reach an agreement, typically leading to "Royal Rule", where the King can intervene in government affairs in order to solve policy divisions between the Chancellor's appointees on the Purpaidá and the Procurator. | As a consequence of the division of power between the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|King]], the [[Procurator]], and the [[Chancellor and Temporary President]], there are four distinct political power structures that can take form.

There were traditionally two major political parties in Urcea, a stable system that existed roughly from the end of the [[Red Interregnum]] and restoration of [[King Patrick III]] up through the [[2015 Urcean political realignment]].

Under this system, most recently the [[National Pact (Urcea)|National Pact]] and the [[National Democratic Party (Urcea)|National Democratic Party]] contested major elections along with the [[Julian Party (Urcea)|Julian Party]] and the [[Democratic Labor Party (Urcea)|Democratic Labor Party]] sometimes playing important roles in deciding majorities in the Concilium Daoni in addition to holding local offices. Following the 2035 realignment, however, the National Social Union dissolved into two new major parties; the [[Union for National Solidarity (Urcea)|Union for National Solidarity]] and the [[Social Labor Party (Urcea)|Social Labor Party]], the latter of which formed as a result of a merger between former National Social Union members and the Democratic Labor Party at the Casanam Conference in 2036. The National Pact and Julian Party both remained unchanged during the realignment, resulting approximately in three major parties and the Julian Party left. | ||
