The Cortes Federales is the bicameral legislature of Nouvelle Alexandrie, consisting of the elected Federal Assembly (the lower house), and the unelected Chamber of Peers (the upper house).
The Cortes Federales meet in the Cortes Federales Palace in the city of Cárdenas, located within the Federal Capital District.
The Federal Assembly consists of 619 elected members that are chosen from each of the regions through proportional representation. the Chamber of Peers consists of TBD appointed Peers, which are installed by the King of Nouvelle Alexandrieon advice of the President of the Government of Nouvelle Alexandrie. In accordance with the Proclamation of Punta Santiago, the two houses hold the supreme legislative power in Nouvelle Alexandrie. As such, they are the ones who vote on proposed legislature, scrutinize the Executive, and appoint and dismiss the Council of State. The Proclamation gives several important rights to Peers and Deputies: during sessions, they are inviolable from opinions; they are forbidden from any compulsory mandate; and they cannot be arrested except by order of the respective chamber. Under that same Proclamation, Political Parties are protected, unless the High Court reject or disband them.
Political Parties
Although the Representation of Deputies in the Federal Assembly is Proportional, there are currently Two Contemporary Large parties that dominate seats, and thereby politics, in Nouvelle Alexandrie.
Federal Humanist Party
Established in 1692 AN. in Parap as a merger of the Wechu Nationalist and Humanist Club with Aldu and Lyrican Federalist groups, the FHP is a centre-right party with a right-wing element in its ranks. It describes itself as being Federalist, Humanist, Corporatist, and Constitutionalist. It also supported the Raspur Pact when it was formed, and takes a pro-stance on it. It won the first elections in 1693 AN under Augustus Strong. In 1698, it enlarged its lead to become the sole government party. It lost the 1703 AN elections to the SDLA, but regained a majority in the 1708 AN elections. The party has the most support under centrist and moderate right voters, especially under the Middle Class, and businessmen and entrepreneurs. Students, especially those of the Humanist Vanguard, also are a big voter base.
Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance
Created from the Merger of the Solidary Party and the Progressive Party in 1698 AN, the SDLA took over as the second largest party from the Cambio Democrático in the elections of that year. The SDLA is a big tent centre-left party, meant to unite left-wing and centrists. It describes itself as an 'Alliance of Aldricists, liberals, social democrats, democratic socialists, market socialists, and trade unionists'. It is known for supporting a mixed social economy instead of a market economy or a planned economy. It encompasses both progressive, conservative, and moderate wings. It was the largest party after the 1703 AN elections, and remained in power until the next elections, when the FHP returned. The party has obvious support from left voters, including the labour union movement, as well as Working People, the Poor, Pensioners, and Unemployed.
Federal Consensus Party
Formed as a successor to the Moderate Caucus.
