Parallel Institutions

The People Of The Wind, XI.

Human and Ythrian institutions operate in parallel on Avalon. The President of the Parliament of Man tells Daniel Holm:

"'Oh, the war faction won't bring in quite the majority of Parliament that it did of the Khruath.'" (p. 104)

Nevertheless, however:

"'You'll get your emergency powers, the virtual suspension of civilian government you've been demanding.'" (ibid.)

Holm has not joined a choth but believes in defending his planet.

What will happen if Parliament and Khruath disagree? We do not see that happen. On the contrary, we are told that later government becomes irrelevant to all Avalonians. See Information On Avalon.
