I'm American. and in that regard...... Fuck if I know lol
I admit I did minimal research in how the house of Parliament and Commons and all others function as in the end I do not plan on getting into the meat of politics. I plan on going over the most basic aspects and for all intents and purposes what I wrote down is not all that accurate. The biggest point I wanted to get across is the following three main things...
Warning this is a minor spoiler but will also be the main focus of the next chapter so keep that in mind.
1. Though Equastria is a Dyarchy the sisters do not souly hold the power over the country like a true monarchy or authoritarian like set up. Equestria is more of a rudimentary Republic / monarchy hybrid like system that took almost all of the pros and cons of each respectively. A system that worked well enough when Celestia was in charge by herself as Cadence was never really seen as anything more than a figure head and political icon in both the views of the common people and on paper.
2. There is a major disconnect between the crown, the upper crust / nobles, the politicians themselves, and even the common people of Equestria. A disconnect that is growing bigger by the day and is turning to violent methods to try and gain the upper hand / hoof.
3. Lastly it was meant to show the inefficiencies of the Equestrian government after the revelation that Celestia has lied since well before the founding of the nation itself. Though it wasn't brought up directly in this chapter and is like previously stated the focus of the next, many of the opposition stems from this distrust. What other things are being hidden from us? Can the royals be trusted at all? And is Celestia being a dragon / Jotuun the only thing being hidden from us.
Huh. Nice one, moonflank.
