The Parliament of Rockfield (Spanish: Parlamento Real de Rockfield), unofficially referred to as the Balancín Parliament is the supreme bicameral legislative body of the Kingdom of Rockfield. Parliament, while being bicameral, has three parts, consisting of the sovereign (Crown-in-Parliament), the Corte del Rey (upper house) and the Cortes Generales (lower house). Parliament is also tasked with enforcing the laws that it passes. The political party or party coalition that controls the majority of seats in the lower house (the Cortes Generales) chooses the national executive of the country, the El Presidente de la Roca. The El Presidente and their cabinet wield the executive powers for the entire country but must possess the confidence of Parliament and the confidence of the crown. Both houses of Parliament meet at Rockfield Hall in New Murcia.
The Corte del Rey, or King's Court, is the upper house and is unelected. There are two types of members of Corte, Lords Spiritual and Lords Temporal. Lords Spiritual consist of the most senior members of the clergy and are appointed by the Rockfield Archdiocese. Lords Temporal are life-appointed peers appointed by the reigning monarch. In addition, Lords Temporal are often hereditary but often are simply life peers which are non-hereditary. In total, there are 59 Lords in Corte (10 Lords Spiritual and 49 Lords Temporal).
The Cortes Generales, while being the lower house, is the older body and the only elected component of the Balancín political structure. The Cortes Generales is comprised of 324 Deputies. Deputies are either appointed or elected to serve a single-year term and are the primary chamber responsible for legislation and enforcement. The government of Rockfield requires majority support in the Cortes Generales. Since the chamber's founding in 3009, the Cortes Generales has been controlled by Partido Socialista. Prior to the end of the interregnum, the El Presidente was elected directly by the people. However, following the restoration of the monarchy, the position was transitioned into an appointed position by the reigning monarchy with consent of the Cortes Generales. Traditionally, the El Presidente is a member of the Cortes Generales.
