Government of Bromley

The Former Unionist Colony of Bromley or simply Bromley, is a unitary state with devolution that is governed within the framework of a parliamentary democracy, in which the Prime Minister, currently Wanda Salazar as of May 21 2022, is head of both government and state. The Prime Minister is mainly deputised by the Secretary to the Prime Minister, currently Maria Owle as of May 21 2021. The current government was elected at the 2021 General Election, called by the outgoing Prime Minister Mark Ashford of the Bromlavian Conservatives, and is currently led by a coalition of four left-wing parties - the Bromlavian Labour Party, Liberal Bromley, Black Voices and Left Progression (formerly Communist Party of Bromley). The coalition currently holds 152 seats out of 273, a majority within the Bromlavian National Assembly.

The Bromlavian political system uses First Past The Post at all elections, and elects the person with the most votes from first preference. National constituencies elect the same MP to the National Assembly as they do to the devolved Regional Council of that constituency's region (of which there are six regions), which has been criticised in the past by data analysts due to its restrictiveness. An independent candidate has never been elected to a constituency in Bromlavian history. The Prime Minister has the right to call an election at any time whether that is for the whole nation or a specific region (usually done for a precedent or a majority), and can call one when resigning (usually to coincide with high opinion polling or simply out of good will and democracy).

Bromlavian politics is usually dominated by the two main parties, the Bromlavian Conservatives (right wing) and Bromlavian Labour Party (left wing), where another party was in main power only at two elections since 1910. However, both parties have relied on other minor parties for coalition support in order to gain a majority, for example, the current government which holds the record for the most parties in a Bromlavian coalition. Coalition governments have only happened at two elections: 2021 (LAB-LIB-BLV-COM) and 1997 (LAB with Green Earth and Bromlavian Progressive Alliance). The National Assembly was solely governed by the Bromlavian Conservatives between 1854 and 1910 along with 1921 and 1957 until the rise of the Bromlavian Labour Party, with a Communist government being in power between 1910 and 1921 and the Ingerish Unionist Party being in government from Bromley's recognition as a democracy in 1731 until 1854. The far-right and fascist Bromley Defence Party governed a dictatorship between 1965 and 1974 where elections resumed and the Citizen's Interest Group won a landslide and led for three years until their dispersion.

Bromlavian political opinions and results have been classed as being volatile by professional analysts, due to large swings which can occur, most notably in the 2014, 2006, 1989, 1977, 1974 and 1965 elections, where large gains or losses occurred, in some cases, nearly all seats in the country where supermajorities occurred. This is thought to be because of the fast moving nature of Bromlavian politics and internal disputes, notably with the autonomous region of Barkenfry.

MPs elect a speaker for the National Assembly, who serves a four year term and can be re-elected an unlimited number of times. The speaker who is elected must be an incumbent MP for a constituency and once elected, must resign their seat to focus efforts on their roles as a speaker. The candidate who receives the second highest amount of votes becomes the deputy speaker - with MPs only allowed to vote for one person. The speaker sits as an indepdendent politician and is not included in the 273 seats in the National Assembly. It is common for the speaker to be elected from the main governing party due to majority vote within the National Assembly. The current Speaker is Robert Boland, former Labour MP for Lindow, and the Deputy Speaker is Mally Corderton, former Conservative MP for Fallholt.
