The Senedh Kernev, known colloquially as the Senedh, is the unicameral legislature of Kernev. A democratically elected body, it legislates for Kernev, and scrutinises the Kernevic Government. It is a bilingual institution, with both Kernevic and Jackian being the official languages of its business.
The Senedh is an elected body consisting of 30 members known as Members of the Senedh (Kernevic: Esel an Senedh; abbreviated as "ES"). ES are elected to represent constituencies by the first-past-the-post system and hold their seats until the Senedh is dissolved, no later than five years after the previous election was held. The Senedh is presided over by the Lewydh (Kernevic Jackian: Presiding Officer), currently Tamsin Glowbrenn. It is traditional for Lewydhow to resign their party whip upon election as Lewydh.
Legally, the powers of the Senedh Kernev are all derived from the Prince of Kernev, which are subject to no legislative limits, however, there are a great number of conventions which delineate reserved areas of power which the prince retains, areas of authority for the Government of Kernev and areas of authority held by the Senedh. Uniquely among constitutional monarchies, the princes of Kernow frequently lead the executive branch of government, typically in periods where no candidate for Prime Minister attains the necessary 16 votes to form a government and also in periods of political crisis. In these cases the prince leads a caretaker cabinet, which traditionally adhere to minimal political intervention - maintaining policy of the previous government whilst responding to any crises.
The first recorded Senedh took place between 1428 and 1460, during the reign of Cadan Arthyen. This first Senedh, known as the Stannary Parliament, was composed of owners of tin and copper mines across Kernev, in addition to nobles, and guild masters.
