That is true, I'm not sure how much say Parliament gets in the whole thing, but it seems like whatever family was most closely related to the previous dynasty would have the strongest claim and the greatest overall support. While each family would naturally want the position to go to their own, one particular group laying claim to it when another is more closely related would probably end in revolt--Havelock mentioned a lot of unrest following Emily's disappearance and both he and Burrows seemed to expect this to happen. Really it seems less like Parliament designates who gets the position, and more that the elite grudgingly agree to respect a succession when there is a clear closest relation.
