The Parliament consists of 179 representatives. General elections must be held every five years, but it is within the powers of the [[Steward of the Realm]] to ask the monarch to call for an election before the term has elapsed. On a vote of no confidence, the Parliament may force a single Minister or the entire government to resign. Members are democratically elected by proportional representation: 135 in districts using the {{wpl|D'Hondt}} method and with 44 {{wpl|leveling seats}}. The Yonderian political system has traditionally generated coalitions as individual parties have only rarely been able to muster the 90 seats needed to form government. | The Parliament consists of 179 representatives.
