I think what we find out about Simon in this chapter is that he is different from anyone else on the island. He is able to sort of see things that other people can't see. We can tell this from what happens at the end of the chapter. He goes off and he finds that little secret place of his. Once he enters, he sees the whole world in a different sort of way, almost like he's having a vision.
This has nothing to do with the parliamentary system. I think the commentary on that comes earlier in the chapter when Ralph talks about how pointless their meetings are. This implies that Golding feels the same about Parliament.
