Politics of the Terran Federal Republic

The politics of the Terran Federal Republic take place within the framework of the federal parliamentary system put in place by the Custodian in 2097. The Federation's motto is "Order, Progress, Unity". Powers are separated between the executive, legislative and judicial branches. It is divided between a technocratic branch and a democratic branch, the former being made up of randomly chosen technocrats and the latter being elected officials. 
The political system of the Federation is divided into the executive, legislative and judicial branches. The executive powers are in the hands of the Central Executive Committee and the Federal Chancellery. The Committee is made up of 13 randomly chosen anonymous members of Senate. The Chancellery is made up of the Chancellor and the Ministers. The Assembly of the People, lower chamber of parliament, puts forward a candidate as Chancellor after each election, he is then either accepted or rejected by the Central Committee - although it is extremely rare for the candidate to be rejected. The Chancellor then nominates a Chancellery. He answers to both the Committee and the Assembly. The Chancellery can be disbanded by both the Committee and the Assembly separately and the Assembly can be dissolved by the Committee. 
The legislature is called the Federal Parliament. It is made up of the Senate, its upper chamber, and of the Assembly of the People, the lower chamber, as well as a third, purely consultative chamber known as the Host of Representatives. As such, Parliament is technically a tricameral legislature, but it is in effect bicameral. The Senate is made up of randomly elected technocrats, appointed by the Ministry of Science and Technology. This is the core of the technocratic element of the Federation. The Assembly is elected in general elections. It utilizes a ranking proportional voting system. Parliament passes budgets and laws. Any motion requires the approval of both chambers. The Committee can veto motions. The Assembly can be dissolved by the Committee, but there is no mechanism to disband the Senate. Parliament is advised by the Host of Representatives, made up of one representative from each Commonwealth and representatives from the eight largest corporations of the Federation. This is however only an advisory body. 
The judicial is independent. It is based on a continental law model, and its founding document is the General Civil Code written in 2094 by the Custodian and his advisors. The highest appeal court in the Federation is the Supreme Terran Court. The Constitutional Council assures that decisions made by the executive branch and laws passed by the legislative branch enter the framework of the Constitution. 
The Federation is a federal state. It is subdivided into Commonwealths, each one being made up of a colonised world. Whilst the requirements have varied over time, planets with a population of over a million generally become Commonwealths. These have their own democratic institutions. However, they have relatively little power.
