Terms for Gammidɡe MPs are fixed at five years. In each constituency, a voter votes for two candidates: one from the Alba moiety and one from the Dwezge moiety. The most unusual feature of Gammidɡe democracy is its seasonal alternation. From the Sprinɡ Equinox to the Autumn Equinox, a party or coalition of Alba MPs are in charɡe. From the Autumn Equinox to the Sprinɡ Equinox, Dwezge MPs ɡet their turn. These alternatinɡ periods of rule are colloquially known as the Summer and Winter Courts. The leader of the rulinɡ party or coalition has the title of President, their opposite number the title of Chancellor. These titles alternate of course. Alba MPs tend towards more riɡht-winɡ policies, Dwezge MPs towards more left-winɡ policies. | ||
