Spanish term
asambleísmo
Spanish to English
Social Sciences
Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
This is a word in the RAE. (http://dle.rae.es/?id=3ul2fDw) So, we've got a working definition: 1. m. Práctica de conferir con excesiva frecuencia a las asambleas el poder de tomar decisiones.
The author is fond of little-known words, so, to maintain his voice, pretty much anything goes.
TIA! Spanish (from where??) to UK English
Original
Sin que ninguna previsión constitucional lo respalde, los partidos políticos se han lanzado a controlar todas y cada una de las parcelas a las que han podido acceder. Y dentro de ellos, unas minorías se han asentado para limitar tanto o más la participación de los demás.
De ello deriva, en gran medida, que proposiciones de índole más o menos *** asamblearia *** suenen bien. Es lógico que se intuyan como remedio al uso y abuso de concentraciones del poder.
Rough draft
Without any constitutional provision to back it, the political parties have set out to control each and every area they have been able to access. And within the parties, minorities have set out to limit the participation of others as much or even more. So, it follows that to a large extent proposals of a more or less generally *** ‘assemblist’ *** nature tend to sound good. It is also logical that they would be seen as a remedy to the use and abuse of concentrated power.

It´s a fancy trend word, mostly found in inverted commas i.e. ´assembleism´
e.g. Democracy » is the Working Class' s Main Enemy - Révolution igcl.org/Democracy-is-the-Working-Class-s
Democracy » is the Working Class' s Main Enemy ... World War and sanctioned the darkest counter-revolutionary period for the working class. .... of the 'indignados' movement and of 'assembleism', is both the most caricatural expression and

routine assembly nature
This is my understanding. I don't think your author is using the term in the sense of the dictionary definition.

group decision-making
"... propositions of a more or less "group decision-making" nature sound good/positive/worthy."
However, if the author is merely using the hackneyed device of adding "-ism" to something he wants to belittle (it sounds to me like they may be slagging off Podemos or similar political groupings) then this perhaps more objective take may not be to their liking...

Spanish term (edited):
índole más o menos asamblearia
put to any kind of vote
De ello deriva, en gran medida, que proposiciones ***de índole más o menos asamblearia *** suenen bien.
This is largely why any motions/bills that are ***put to some kind of vote*** sound like a good thing.
I think that's the idea.

assembly-based parliamentary system
-- (the use of a) more or less assembly-based parliamentary system sound like a good thing.
In my view, the derogatory connotations can be extrapolated by the reader.

Discussion
OR (more verbosely)
“a charade that has the appearance of ‘parliamentary consensus’” [again with quotes]
At any rate, it looks like some such paraphrase will be needed.
So maybe something like:
“relying on parliamentary consensus”
