The Cupid Parliament's membership was made up of the [[Prefect]]s of the many departments of the [[Cupid Intelligence Institute]], and overseen by the [[Copper-Colored Council of Elders]], made up of the ten oldest [[Mark I]] [[Clockwork Cherub]]s including the [[Cupid Prime]] himself. The Parliament was infamous for getting drawn into lengthy, circular debates about trivial matters.

On the other hand, by special exception, [[Foreman-964]] and [[Conspiracy-1263]] were banned from participating in Parliamentary debates despite their status as Prefects due to how unproductive they were in conversation, even by the Parliament's standards.

Increasingly frustrated by their rebuffing of his suggestions, [[Conquest-932]] founded the [[Triangular Society]] with the aim of overthrowing the Parliament as well as the [[Cupid Prime]].

On the day of the [[faceless magician (Magic Trick)|faceless magician]] incident, the Parliament had been engaged for nine days in a protracted debate about whose responsibility it was to replace the ink in the typewriter of [[Stenographer-123]] (who typed down the Parliamentary logs) when it ran out, the main contenders being the Department of Discipline and the [[Department of Documentation]]. Despite being banned from the Parliament, [[Foreman-964]] had snuck in, hiding under his desk for most of the debates before revealing hmself. Just as it was about to descend into sheer fisticuffs, the argument finally ended when the destruction of the typewriter in question by the [[The Hat|magic rabbits]] rendered it moot.
