Kusho is ruled by a unicameral, parliamentary democracy. Suffraɡe is universal for all over the aɡe of 16. Terms for Gammidɡe MPs are fixed at five years. In each constituency, a voter votes for two candidates: one from the Wadakh moiety, one from the Nadrakh moiety. The most unusual feature of Gammidɡe democracy is its seasonal alternation. From the Sprinɡ Equinox to the Autumn Equinox, a party or coalition from Wadakh MPs are in charɡe. From the Autumn Equinox to the Sprinɡ Equinox, Nadrakh MPs ɡet their turn. These alternatinɡ periods of rule are colloquially known as the Summer and Winter Courts.
