The Parliament of AH.com is the supreme legislative body of His Administratorness’ Government, granted with the power of creating and voting upon Acts of Parliament by the Constitution of AH.com. The Parliament is unicameral and consists of 15 Members, from which are chosen the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister by the President of AH.com. The Parliament convenes to discuss various matters of import to AH.com (and quite a lot that aren’t). However, most of this usually results in people heading off to the AH.com Bar for drinks and a punch-up.

Elections to Parliament occur every August, usually foreshadowed by a flurry of electioneering, propaganda, intimidation, backstabbing, lies and outright dirty tricks. Voting in these elections, as well as during votes on legislation and referendums, is overseen by the Electoral Officer - a position that has tradtionally been held by Douglas.

In the event of a hung Parliament, it is expected that the largest party will join with one or more of the smaller parties to form a governing coalition. Both the 2006 and 2007 Elections resulted in hung Parliaments with no party in overall control of the chamber. Coalition governments were formed in both cases however, with the Evil Party being the senior member of the ruling coalition in both instances. In 2008, the Evil Party won total control of Parliament and formed a government on its own. With the number of elected parties dropping off significantly, it is predicted by some that by 2010 AH.com may become a one-party state ruled by the Evil Party.

Through Acts of Parliament, committees and commission may be established to more intimately debate and discuss particular issues. Thus far, only two such entities have been established:

• The AH.com Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission was established on May 5, 2008 following the passage of the Extraterrestrial Affairs Act. Its powers, purpose, and membership has never been stated.

• The Committee for the Preparation of a New Landsraad Act was established on August 5, 2008 following the passage of the Landsraad Committee Act. It is a four member committee created specifically to write up a bill which will establish the powers of, the organization of, the composition of, and the votes of the proposed Landsraad of AH.com by August 15, 2008. Such a bill was proposed on August 15, but Parliament voted to send it back to committee for further consideration. The members of the committee are Susano of the Federalist Federation of Federalists, VulcanTrekkie45 of the Yorkshire Socialist Party, President Sargon and, following Douglas‘s resignation from Parliament and this committee, TheDarkServant of the Evil Party.
