The Alotol Ministry, more commonly known as The Ministry, is the upper house of Liosol's legislative body known as the Kajeth. It is comprised of 75 members known as ministers, and each one represents one gań. Currently the Ministry is led by the Yellow Coalition, of whom the Hansobel Party is the majority. The Opposition is led by the United Right, of whom the Liosol First Party is the majority in the Ministry.
History
The numbers of members in the Ministry has slowly increased throughout its existence. The first iteration of the Kajeth's upper house had seven seats for the country's seven kamoile. This was later expanded to nine members when the Malas Region and Pomeda were given kamoil status. The greatest change in the Ministry's composition came with the formation of the Sovereign Kingdom of Liosol. Leaders argued that the Ministry should be comprised of minister from each gańe rather than kamoile, since this would make the government more centralized. However, this adjustment from nine seats to 55 would not come until after the 1870 election, when the United Alotol Party had a majority in the Kajeth.
Composition after the Great Ekuosian War
Prior to the war the Ministry was made up of only 55 seats. This accounted for the 54 gańe and the Malas Region, which had one minister representing it. After the conflict and issues with the Malas Region, Ministers from primarily left-leaning parties and anti-Three Banners groups petitioned the Kajeth to allow for greater representation in the Malas Region. Tham Rosine, leader of the Liosol First Party and 14th Prime Minister of Liosol helped launch this movement into the mainstream. Many scholars believe she supported it because it would mean Seon Daol would likely lose his reelection bid and it would secure Liosol First as a leading party in the region for generations. Tham campaigned on the promise of expanding the Ministry and restoring rights that had been restricted by PM Seon during the war.
An exploratory committee in 1953 proposed dividing the territory into 5 gańe, however, activists decried this suggestion. They stated that, like the rest of the country, the Malas Region should be divided by historical gańe or, at most, kamoile. In the end, the Kajeth enacted legislation that allowed for 19 gańe, based on the historical divisions, and one municipal gań in Gosemark, the capitol of the region. While this increased the Malas Region's say in the Ministry, it significantly weakened their power in the House of Status, since the population was broken up and seats divided.
Pomas Region
The Pomas Region was unofficially annexed by Liosol at the end of the GEW. The reason for this is debated but often owed to the fact that it would give Liosol almost total control over the Kethn / Methas River, a key area used by enemies during the war. PM Tham, after delivering her promise to divide the Malas Region, openly stated that she wanted the Pomas Region to be able to participate in elections and appoint a Minister to represent themselves. However, the Pomas Region did not become a fully incorporated gań until 1962. The addition of this gań brought the membership in the Ministry from 74 to 75.
Leadership
The current head of the Ministry and Prime Minister of the Sovereign Kingdom of Liosol is Pra Densok, Minister of Vainiugań and a member of Hansobel. He is supported by the political alliances of the Yellow Coalition and the Centrists. Prime Minister Densok commands a total of 39 seats in the Ministry when these two groups are combined, leaving him 11 seats away from a majority of 50 out of 75 seats.
The Opposition is led by Soe Jani, Minister of Arain and a member of the Liosol First Party. She is supported by the political alliance of the United Right. Minister Jani commands a total of 17 seats in the Ministry, leaving her 33 seats away from a majority.
Other leadership includes the heads of the remaining, unaffiliated political alliances in the Ministry: the Manists, the Republicans, and Joint Crown. These groups make up the remaining 19 seats in the legislative body. Their inclusion is important in order for laws to pass, since their votes are needed for the required two-thirds legislative majority.
