Line 99:

Parliament is currently centered around three major factions.

+

====The Monarchists====

+

Formerly the majority, and still the largest single political bloc in Parliament, the Monarchists (known colloquially as '''Walls''' from the jibe "the King will keep high the walls") are formally grouped by their position that the monarchy should retain its Senatorial privilege. In practice, however, the Walls stand behind the current geopolitical position of Ivalice, with its borders largely closed save at select ports, and its military divided into the knightly Orders to reinforce internal government. The Walls split from the more conservative elements of the Glabados Church in their continued assertion of the current Senate's arrangement, and are cautiously tolerant of magic and wizardry. Duke Lannast heads the Monarchists; other important figures include Count Rochester of Limberry, Lord Tiesland and Cardinal Rasmussen. The Walls have been courting Prince Irgan, but despite his association with several of their members, he has declared himself politically independent.

+

====The Parliamentarians====

+

A growing power bloc in Parliament, this group (also known as '''Quills''') is opposed to the continuance of the monarchy's Senatorial privileges, though rather specifically to the Senatorial representatives of the monarch himself. In real practice, however, the Quills want Parliament to take legislative and judicial authority away from the knights and centralize power within the Senate anew. This would largely demilitarize the country and open borders for trade with Romanda and Ordalia. Duke Danroth leads the Parlimentarians; his followers include Lord Vespertine (a contemporary of the elder princes in Lesalia), Markgraf Wagner of Sal Ghidas & Rohrstock, and Lord Nordrich. The Quills have been attempting to court the young Prince Galan, but so far have sen little success.

+

====The Federalists====

+

An insurgent party that has swelled in popularity of late, the Federalists (or '''Spears''') wish to disband the legislative powers of the monarchy in the upper chamber entirely and authorize Parliament-appointed Judges to assume municipal and judicial power. The Spears include a sizeable number of archbishops eager to regain influence among the people, and an understated but very real part of their doctrine includes removing the Archmage seat from the Senate and compelling Gallione to take Gariland in hand and disband that city's autonomous government. They would also dispatch the knightly Orders to the borders of Ivalice as a military force, with debate raging as to the prospect of imperialist action from that position. Duke Gallis is at the forefront of this bloc; his allies include Marquis Séraphin of Zeakden, Marquis Navarro of Yardow, Lord Lidelse of the Crescent Order and Cardinal Thierry.
