Chapter 631 Campaign Speech
As the prime minister election campaign begins, candidates from all parties have already appeared.
Because this is the first prime ministerial election, Purficott also deliberately did not put forward any requirements such as forming a political party in order to participate in the election. There are no restrictions on candidates, so the candidates who participated in the election Not a lot.
Of course, the vast majority of candidates also know that they cannot be elected. It is more of a way to accumulate political capital for themselves by running for election.
It’s just that there are some people who can’t understand themselves. They really think that they can become prime minister or something. Perfectcott will not stop them, just watch it for fun.
After all, we must let everyone see the diversity of species to avoid such abstract things coming to power in the future, which would bring disaster to the entire country.
Perfect has tasted too many abstract things in the original world, and she doesn’t want this world to be full of abstract things.
In order to prevent abstract things from harming the country, Purficott plans to specifically emphasize when writing election bills in the future that any candidate must put forward a complete policy platform before running for election, and must put it into practice after taking office. Fulfill everything you promised.
This process will be supervised by the National Assembly. If the Prime Minister fails to fulfill his promise during his term of office, the National Assembly has the right to impeach him.
Although Purficott is not sure how effective this policy will be, it can at least avoid the kind of thing that makes crazy promises before running for election and then fails to fulfill any of them after taking office.
Although it is not true that there are some fools who dare to fulfill their promises, it is good to at least save the country some trouble.
As for more stuff? Perfectcott doesn't have time to worry about two hundred years from now.
Now, she was just sitting in the audience, listening to the speeches of various candidates on the stage, yawning out of boredom.
Today is the public speech she specially arranged for various candidates.
For the sake of fairness, considering that some candidates are unable to carry out publicity activities, or are not good at this aspect, and also in order to allow the candidates to have a concentrated appearance, Purficott specially arranged An opportunity for public speaking.
All candidates can give speeches on stage, express their political opinions, show their political views and policy agenda, and gain public support in this way.
In order to expand the influence of this public speech, Purficott even specially arranged to use a radio station to carry the speaker's voice throughout the North.
As long as it is an official settlement or shelter in the north, there is a radio installation. However, under normal circumstances, it only has the function of sending and receiving messages. It is mainly responsible for transmitting information from the settlement or shelter back. The city to which it belongs can receive help and support when encountering danger or special circumstances.
But if Purficott is willing, he can also use special encoding methods to convert real-time voice information into telegraph codes, which will be received by the puppet operator at the other end and then converted into sound signals, and then passed through the local broadcast system.
In order to realize this method, Purficott even made a small upgrade to the telegraph system in the north to ensure that all puppet telegraph operators have upgraded this function.
With such a method, the information that Purficott hopes to spread can be transmitted to the entire northern border in real time.
The New World has not yet carried out such an upgrade. Although the upgrade is not difficult, except for the northern border, other places do not have such a high telegraph penetration rate, and there is no use of puppet telegraph operators. Many things It’s not that convenient to do. However, even if it is just the entire Northern Territory, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these candidates. After all, if they are allowed to give speeches on their own, it will be almost impossible to spread their voices throughout the Northern Territory.
It is not a matter of publicity funds. There are basically no truly poor people who can run for elections these days. In addition, there is support from their respective political parties behind them, so most of them have no shortage of money and mobility.
But on the one hand, this is very expensive, and on the other hand, it is really unnecessary.
You must know that the northern border is very big. From Chernobog to Belloberg, although there is a railway between the two, and the two cities are not far apart, it still takes a day or two to ride. can only be reached by train.
It is a huge challenge for all candidates to travel the entire northern border, let alone return to Chernobog to vote before the election.
Contrary to what many people expected, the vote for the Prime Minister election will be held in Chernobog, rather than Beloberg, which is closer to the center of the empire.
And this was not suggested by Perfectcott, but by others at the Royal Council.
Although both cities are under the rule of the Northern Territory, the empire's center is now in Beloberg, and it is a port city. Relatively speaking, the empire's center has more influence here. Bigger.
And Chernobog is simply Purficott’s home base, it can almost be said to be a place where she does whatever she says.
Even if Purficott says that the sun is square, Chernobyl residents who get up tomorrow morning will put a piece of paper on their windows, leaving a square gap, and tell themselves that the sun is square.
Although there are some elements of joking and exaggeration, it also illustrates from the side the influence and appeal that Perficott has in Chernobog.
If the Prime Minister election is held in Chernobog, Purficott can interfere with the election results to a large extent.
Of course, on the other hand, if someone can be selected in Chernobog that Purficott does not support, it means that their influence exceeds that of Purficott, even if it is only on the surface. of.
After all, it is not all citizens who vote in the prime minister election, but members of the National Assembly.
Purficott's influence among the people is huge, and it is difficult for her to influence all MPs.
Now the members of the National Assembly have been elected to form the National Assembly that has begun operations. Under their operation, the election of the Prime Minister has been passed by a double vote of the Royal Council and the National Assembly and must be voted by the Parliament. elected rather than voted on by the entire nation.
This was naturally within Purficott's expectation. After all, the current practice of jointly running for the Northern Territory and the Dominion has already secured victory in the national vote in advance. If other factions want to win, they must improve their electoral methods. Make changes.
It’s just that these people seem to have ignored another element. All members must have their own constituencies. If a member cannot represent the interests of his own constituency, he will be removed.
