Parliament of Mobius (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

The Parliament of Mobius is the supreme legislative body of Mobius. It meets at the Legis Building, Mobotropolis. It possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in Videogame Solar System and the overspace territories. Parliament is bicameral but has three parts, consisting of the sovereign, the House of Barons, and the House of Folks. In theory, power is officially vested in the King. However, the Crown normally acts on the advice of the prime minister, and the powers of the House of Barons are limited to only delaying legislation; thus power is de facto vested in the House of Commons.
The House of Folks is an elected chamber with elections to 670 single-member constituencies held at least every three years.
The House of Barons is the second chamber of Parliament. The House of Baronss includes two types of members.
==Composition and powers==
The legislature has three separate elements: the Monarch, the House of Baronss, and the House of Folks.
Royal Assent of the Monarch is required for all bills to become law, and certain delegated legislation must be made by the Monarch. The Crown also has executive powers which do not depend on Parliament, through prerogative powers, including the power to make treaties, declare war, award honors, and appoint officers and civil servants. In practice these are always exercised by the monarch on the advice of his privy council.
The monarch also appoints the Prime Minister.
The last of the "estates" of the Kingdom, are represented in the House of Folks.
All legislation must be passed by the House of Folks to become law and it controls taxation and the supply of money to Mobius. There are also mechanisms that allow members of the House of Folks to bring to the attention of the government particular issues affecting the people of Mobius.
==Opening of Pariament==
The Opening of Parliament is an annual event that marks the commencement of a session of the Parliament of Mobius. It is held in the House of Barons Chamber.
Upon the signal of the Monarch, the Great Chamberlain raises their wand of office to signal to Blue Rod, who is charged with summoning the House of Folks and has been waiting in the lobby. Blue Rod turns and, under the escort of the Door-keeper of the House of Folks, approaches the doors to the Chamber of the Legislature. On Blue Rod's approach, the doors are slammed shut against them, symbolizing the rights of parliament and its independence from the monarch. They then strike, with the end of their ceremonial staff (the Black Rod), three times on the closed doors of the Commons Chamber. They are then admitted, and announce the command of the monarch for the attendance of the legislators.
The monarch reads a speech, known as the Royal Throne Speech, which is prepared by the Privy Council, outlining the Hedgehog Dynasty's agenda for the coming year. The speech reflects the legislative agenda for which the royals intend to seek the agreement of both houses of parliament.
After the monarch leaves, each Chamber proceeds to the consideration of reply to His Majesty's speech. But, first, each House considers a bill pro forma to symbolize their right to deliberate independently of the monarch.
==Legislative procedure==
Both houses of the Mobian Parliament are presided over by a speaker, appointed by the King and Queen of Mobius.. Their term is 25 years.
For one house, the approval of the Sovereign is theoretically required before the election of the Speaker becomes valid, but it is, by modern convention, always granted.
Prior to the end of Robotnik's usurpation, the House of Barons was presided over by aBaron Chancellor (a privy council member).
Speeches in the House of Barons are addressed to the House as a whole (using the words "My Lords" and "My Ladies"), but those in the other house are addressed to the Speaker alone (using "Mr Speaker" or "Madam Speaker"). Speeches may be made to both Houses simultaneously.
Both Houses may decide questions by voice vote; members shout out "Aye!" and "No!" and the presiding officer declares the result.
Both Houses normally conduct their business in public, and there are galleries where visitors may sit.
