Parliament of the Equestrian Republic, Year 100



Equestria is a Unitary Parliamentary Republic, with a unicameral legislature. All power is held by the 500 seat Parliament.

The Parliament has three major parties, the centre-left Pony's Progressive Party, the centre-right Conservative Party, and the green politics Green Party. Plus a number of other smaller parties that go back and forth with extreme minorities of seats. These parties are generally ignored, because even if their ideologies weren't incredibly different, they don't have enough power to challenge the major parties anyway. The best they can do, is stall the introduction of legislation that they don't like for as long as possible.

In year 100 of the Republic, the Pony's Progressive Party is in control of government. While the Conservative Party has been relegated to the stance of the Opposition.

While technically part of the opposition, the Green Party has a long history of cooperation with the PPP, and while not in an official coalition with the PPP, they don't stand with the Conservatives either, thus making them incredibly important when it comes time to vote on legislation. Green Party support on a bill will allow it to pass through, while their opposition on it will make the PPP take it back for review.
