Chapter 690 Voting Results
"The counting of votes has ended. There are a total of 100 seats in the National Assembly. Ninety-seven members are present today, 84 valid votes were cast, and 13 members abstained." Chairman. On the stage, the Duke of Gloucester looked at the voting results in his hand, showing an expression as expected, and then read out the counting results in a calm voice.
The congressman who proposed the impeachment case had a look of anticipation and excitement on his face. He stared at Perficott with a look of "you're done", as if he was already in sight of victory.
However, Purficott already knew the outcome of the matter after seeing the expression of Duke of Gloucester.
So she stood up directly, not bothering to listen to the final voting results, and walked directly towards the door.
"Are you afraid? Afraid of the power of democracy and freedom, dictator!" Behind the scenes, the congressman who proposed the impeachment case suddenly cheered in victory when he saw Purficott leaving, as if he had already won.
Perfect was really too lazy to deal with this guy who didn’t know whether to say he was so stupid that it made people feel naive, or he was so naive that people thought he was stupid. He shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It’s better to eat. I’m too full.”
After that, he walked out of the voting site directly.
Behind her, the Duke of Gloucester finally read out the vote count: "Of the eighty-four valid votes, seventy-one were against and thirteen were in favor. The vote for the Lord of the North was The impeachment motion is not passed. "No! This is impossible! This is a betrayal of freedom and democracy!" The member who proposed the impeachment motion suddenly shouted in disbelief. Even Purficott, who had already walked into the corridor, heard the wail of his belief breaking down.
Regarding this kind of wailing like a defeated dog, she could only helplessly shake her head and sigh: "If it conforms to their ideas, it is called freedom and democracy. If it does not conform to their ideas, it is called someone to interfere in the election. There are really double standards."
But Purficott doesn't care too much about this. Even if the impeachment case is passed, for her, it is just a matter of dissolving the National Assembly.
Whether it is passing a cabinet resolution, a royal decree, or dissolving the National Assembly by force, it is all very easy for Purficott to do.
It's just that it's a trouble for her.
Watching fun might cause trouble for you, so there is no need to do so.
——————————————
Perfect thought it was fun, but others didn’t.
Under the current situation, there are still people who can propose such an unknown impeachment case, which is a very dangerous signal for the entire Victoria Empire.
After the proposal was rejected, the cabinet held an emergency meeting.
“The nature of what happened this time is very bad! I understand that so-called freedom and democracy should not be restricted. Members have the right to propose bills they deem necessary, but such bills that threaten national security can also be carried out openly. Submit it to the National Assembly for a vote. There are too many problems exposed here!" The speaker was Prime Minister Wellington. Although he was single-handedly elected by Purficott, he really did this on this matter! Nothing selfish. Because everyone in the cabinet clearly knows how important Perficott is to this country.
“Although the bill was submitted to the National Assembly for a vote under the instruction of Earl Brandlis, the occurrence of this incident itself was an absurd farce! I am afraid these people did not realize that The importance of the Earl of the North to the empire." Kallen also expressed her views at this time, but she was relatively reserved and did not show any aggression.
However, the representative of the military department on the other side seemed much more aggressive. He shouted loudly: "This is a sentence to the country, this is a stain and blasphemy to the honor of the Earl of the North! This doomsday disaster will They haven't calmed down yet, but they are still thinking about dealing with Earl Brandlis!
If they dare to impeach the Earl of the North today, will they dare to abolish the royal family tomorrow? It's unimaginable what they will do the day after tomorrow! We must pay attention Fist, take this matter seriously!”
“I agree to take this matter seriously. The members who voted in favor and abstained must conduct an investigation. I seriously doubt whether there are dangerous elements endangering national security among them! And, regarding the congressman who proposed the proposal, I hope that he will be arrested immediately. Such a person is enough to be sentenced to treason. "The speaker this time was a royalist cabinet member, but his attitude was equally serious. tough.
Princess Anne was also very angry that Perfectcourt would be impeached. However, she still remembered that she was the eldest princess, so her words were not harsh, but her attitude was very clear: "The royal family is here I will maintain my consistent position on this matter and express my support for the Earl of the North. In addition, I also agree to investigate the MPs involved. What he has done has seriously affected the stability of the empire.”
In this matter, Princess Anne agreed very much with the statement of the military representative. Today they dare to restrict Perficott’s power. Impeach her, and tomorrow they might actually dare to ask the royal family to abdicate and transform Victoire into a so-called democratic country.
So when dealing with this matter, the royal family must express a tough attitude and spare no effort to support Purficott.
Perhaps in the past, the royal family showed support for the constitutional monarchy and gradually transferred power to the parliament, fading the imperial power out of the center of power in Victoire.
But this does not mean that the royal family is really willing to give up everything it owns, and may even be abolished.
They can transfer power to parliament, because the royal family also understands that it is impossible to establish a centralized monarchy with highly concentrated power in this era, and the consequences will be very serious.
Transferring power to parliament can also be regarded as a way to adapt to the changes of the times. By gradually transferring power and establishing a constitutional monarchy system, the status of the royal family is not threatened.
But this does not mean that the royal family has completely given up everything, and can even be impeached and abolished.
You must know that the royal family has not yet fallen into decline. Even if it transferred some of its power before, the army is still in the hands of the royal family.
As long as the Queen or Princess Anne are willing, they can also use the army to wipe out all opponents.
"It is recommended to investigate strictly, and this matter has threatened national security. If this bill is passed, if the Northern Lords really intend to use force to abolish it, it will set off a civil war in the Victoria Empire." At this time, another A congressman suddenly mentioned a topic that everyone wanted to avoid.
