Blackstone Code

Chapter 1775: vote

There are actually multiple candidates for the position of Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee. Since they are "candidates", they must go through the election process.

This is to reflect the principle of fairness and justice in the federal political ecology. Everyone is elected through elections, but what will happen before the election and what will happen after the election.

Even what will happen during the break during the election process, no one is going to discuss.

Everyone has the right to express their ideas at any time and on any occasion. This is the basic law written into the Charter.

Even the use of privileges by the Federal President cannot make a person shut up at a certain time or on a certain occasion!

So during the break, everyone can directly canvass votes.

This is a phenomenon and a tradition in the federal political ecology.

For example, in the Capitol, when there are important motions to be voted on, there is a break between the first and second votes, and a break between the second and third votes.

Those congressmen will run around. They are definitely not sitting for a long time to exercise, but to canvass votes.

Dynamic canvassing, promising benefits, and attracting more people may also involve some political means.

At the same time, this also tells people why when Congress votes, it will vote several times until the majority of people agree, or disagree, or the reason for the extension beyond the number of votes!

Every time period, after receiving different external "stimuli", everyone will always change the decisions they made before.

This is the most dramatic and distinctive scene in the federal political ecology!

Maybe your ally stood by your side in the last bid, but in the next vote, you thought he would still be your strong backing, and he gave you a knife directly from the back!

This also gives the federation a phrase

"As long as you haven't swallowed the cake in your mouth, you may spit it out at any time!"

It vividly shows the complex and contradictory political ecological environment. Everyone may be an ally, but a friend may also be an enemy. Perhaps this is the highest manifestation of business affairs!

Senator Langdon came to the office building early. This time there were three candidates, all of whom had high reputations in the Progressive Party.

The next chairman of the Progressive Party committee will be born from these three people.

He looked at these three people, but what he thought of was the selection of the party leader two years ago. Maybe from that time, the short old man has already started to pave the way for his successor.

He sent the person most likely to be the chairman of the committee early to the position of party leader, and then let his heir choose one of two other less powerful candidates.

A series of exchanges of political interests make today's vote seem like a process, everything is so fair and just, but is it really like that?

Senator Langdon's gaze is no longer what it used to be, and it will only stay in a superficial place. He stares at the entire venue, staring at these party representatives walking back and forth.

These people, they are not members of the House of Representatives, they are not senators, but in a way, they are more important to the future direction of this country than members of Congress!

They are the ones who decide the future!

Senator Langdon walked down the stairs, and the short old man's heir took the initiative to walk over.

He looked young, probably only about thirty-five, but he was actually forty-seven.

Commonwealth men, especially wealthy men, have difficulty determining their chronological age in terms of appearance, and men tend to appear older when they are younger.

But after reaching middle age, it will maintain the state and appearance of middle age for a long time.

This guy's name is Gladstone. His grandfather used to be the governor. He was assassinated because of some problems.

The old man was a ruthless character. At that time, there was a "indigenous revival trend" in the society. Some indigenous aborigines living in the reserve became richer due to policy reasons.

Indigenous people with money think they should not live in protected areas and want more freedom and power.

But this is obviously impossible. Everyone knows that the Federals almost killed these indigenous people to the point of extinction. In the end, they had to establish multiple protected areas to protect the sparsely populated indigenous people.

Giving them more power now is like putting a loaded gun in their hands with the muzzle pointed at their heart.

At that time, Gladstone's grandfather's methods were terrible. He "suppressed bandits" many times within his jurisdiction. It is said that more than 50,000 horse bandits were killed. For a time, there were almost no indigenous people living in the reserve. It is said that they They were all murdered by horse bandits!

Although in the process it was claimed that he started another ethnic cleansing, the federal government then dispatched an investigative team to investigate these rumors and finally determined that it was just a rumor.

All those killed were robbers and horses, and there were no natives at all.

As for why the natives became so rare, didn't the newspapers say?

Because the natives became rich, many robbers from all over the country frequently attacked the natives in the reserve, causing many casualties...

Since this incident, there have been some cases of robbers and horse bandits attacking the reserve all over the country, and they were quickly suppressed.

Since then the natives have never talked about more power, and such stupid things as going out of protected areas.

His grandfather did not die after being assassinated, but was so badly wounded that he had to leave politics.

Gladstone's father inherited his grandfather's political capital and contacts, plus he was a lucky man, two successful political speculations, and married a lady from another political family.

Combined with the wealth of gold, jewelry, cash, antiques, and stocks that his father passed on to him, it was a very considerable sum of money.

Some people say that the money was collected when he slaughtered the natives, but their family never admits this, saying it is family wealth for generations.

As for why they have so much wealth, the previous generations were not rich, they did not answer directly.

In addition to these, he also had some contacts with the military. When the old governor killed the robbers, the army also made a lot of efforts.

Wealth, power, and marriage have made Gladstone's family more powerful than ever.

At Gladstone, he graduated summa **** laude from Holy Harmony College and became a full member of the Holy Harmony Society.

Then through the city speaker, the mayor, the state legislator, the member of the House of Representatives, and then the governor, after serving two terms as the governor, he returned to Congress to participate in federal politics as a senator until today!

In fact, with his qualifications, there is no big problem in choosing a president.

But he prefers to be the chairman of the Progressive Party committee, at least the chairman can be re-elected until he is too old to work, rather than leaving after eight years.

And there are gossip rumors that his wife's family has some blood relationship with the short old man!

This kind of person who was born at the end of the track is indeed enviable, but then again, this is the result of his grandfather and father's efforts.

People who complain about unfairness should not think about how unfair the world is to them, but think about what their own grandfathers and fathers were doing!

All in all, he has a high win rate.

The handshake between the two attracted some attention. Senator Langdon gradually gained a firm foothold in Congress, and he had his own small power, which was considered a figure.

If you can get to this point and still not fall, there will be basically no problems in a short period of time.

Whether others like him or not, have to admit his success!

In the Commonwealth, as long as you are brilliant enough, people will respect you regardless of whether the light on your body is emitted by yourself or stolen!

The two shook hands and said nothing else, everything was silent.

Senator Langdon walked to his seat, the second row near the center.

The first row is full of high-level party leaders, such as leaders, whips, high-level committee members, and some very heavyweight senators.

Some of these people only have positions within the party, but as I said before, although they have no "public office", their influence over the Progressive Party, Congress, and even the federal government is no less than that of the senators!

Sitting in the second row by yourself is very suitable!

At this time, there are still people entering the arena, everyone is greeting each other, and some people are sitting together and bowing their heads and biting their ears.

Everyone from the "Landon Gang" came over to greet Senator Langdon and unify their opinions by the way.

The more stable his position in Congress, the more respectful these people will be toward him.

At this very moment, they were not following the opinion of the short old man, nor the opinion of other high-ranking committees, but the opinion of Senator Langdon.

As time passed slowly, the meeting began.

At this time, the office building of the Progressive Party Committee was already crowded with reporters, and a number of mounted police officers were transferred from the regional police station to be responsible for traffic and maintaining order.

All the media and middle class are watching this~lightnovelpub.net~ they are desperate to know who the next chairman of the Progress Party committee is!

Sometimes a new leader brings not only innovation, but also the abandonment and modification of past policies.

In the conference hall, they quickly dealt with some simple things before starting the formal voting.

In secret ballots, everyone has an envelope in front of them with a card with the names of the three candidates and a choice to abstain.

Choose one of the four, check the box and then put the card back, and someone will come to collect it.

This kind of voting is different from the proposal voting. The proposal voting is a live voting. You can have different opinions from others, but you also need to let others have the opportunity to know why you disagree.

Knowing is different from non-proposal voting, which does not require identification. Of course, if you have to let others know how different you are, it is not impossible!

Soon, the first round of counting begins...
