Wizarding Parliment?
#1
Is there anything like a wizarding House of Commons?

The wizengemot exists and the wiki says that it's the parliament but it's invitational nature makes it seem more House of Lords than the Commons.

Do we think there is an elected wizarding body? The wiki notes that there isn't much info on the wizengemot - and wondered if there were interesting head/site canons on how people think the wizarding commons works - or indeed if there is one.

Strictly speaking, the Ministry of Magic, though 99.999% autonomous, is a division of muggle government. Between that and my own laziness (at least I'm honest :P), not keen to add extra elections to the mix ;)

^ that, I don't really see there being a need for local electives anyway because wizards seem to be haphazardly sprinkled throughout the country with the occasional cluster like Godrics Hollow - the whole British wizarding population is probably smaller than some RL constituencies. Plus the wizarding world is intentionally archaic in certain ways like imperial measurements so a clunky old fashioned not-the-most-democratic-but-it-works-well-enough system of government checks and that's the vibe I got from the books.

yeah that makes sense - their local muggle representative would probably be enough to 'represent' them on stuff like foreign policy and 'muggle' stuff, while the wizarding community is likely small enough to give them direct enough access to the ministry for more magical grievances.

Makes sense!
