Democracy in The Commonwealth
The Darwinian Commonwealth, a unitary and unicameral state, practices a form of qualified democracy. All citizens, citizen-hood being attained after compulsory national service are eligible to vote and it is illegal to avoid voting. All citizens vote at a national level, and the commonwealth council governs all three nations and the administrative zones within them.
All citizens vote in the Commonwealth Chambers (legislative) elections (their are two chambers but, officially, one house with legislation only passing through once); all citizens are assessed by police on a regular basis and are, then, declared either radical (holding an ideology far outside of the ruling Party consensus; an example would be Anarchism) or non-radical (holding an ideology either within party consensus or not too far outside of it; an example would be, in the former case, State Socialism and, in the latter case, Social Liberalism).
Non-radicals then vote in the Chamber of Commons, through a form of proportional representation, by marking the ballot box with their selection of one of five party lists, whilst radicals vote in the, smaller, Chamber of Radicals, through a similar form of proportional representation, by marking the ballot box with their selection from a set of multiple party lists.
Both chambers' are elected once every year; with half of all seats up for election every sixth months.
Only party members, however, are allowed to vote in Commonwealth Council (executive) elections and they do so, through another proportional system, by marking the ballot box with their selection from a set of multiple party lists usually compiled by individuals or pressure groups within the party but sometimes by the part itself as a unified body.
The Council is elected once every year.
The Commonwealth High Courts (judicial) elections are voted on by party members and they are via a first-past-the-post-system; multiple solicitors and judges run for a specified High Court position, be it Family Court or Party Court etcetera, once every two years.
