Chapter 627 Special Train
"Become Prime Minister? Her Majesty the Queen really likes to pose problems to people!" Sitting on the special train returning to Chernobog, Purficott leaned on the sofa and looked very lazy.
After arguing for more than half a month, the Royal Council finally finalized all the drafts and officially announced the reorganization of the Noble Parliament and the democratically elected Parliament into the National Assembly.
There are a total of 100 seats in the National Assembly. Members are elected every four years and are not allowed to be re-elected or run for election again.
These 100 seats will also be reserved for workers, farmers, businessmen, engineers and other related groups based on many factors such as social class, ensuring that the voices of the people at the bottom and all walks of life can be conveyed to the National Assembly.
Naturally, Purficott had a share of the credit for these perfect terms. She really couldn't stand the aristocrats and capitalists who wanted to wipe out all the benefits. She couldn't bear it anymore and she still put forward these suggestions. To limit and divide the voice of nobles and capitalists in parliament.
In a sense, this is what Purficott learned from the number one source of chaos in the original world, which is to cut a group vertically, split it into different groups internally, and destroy its cohesion and influence.
For example, the nobility is divided into many different groups such as military nobles, old feudal nobles, emerging nobles, etc. Although it is not stated so explicitly, the quotas of nobles in the parliament must be allocated according to different groups. .
Just like the Brandless family has dual attributes of military aristocracy and feudal aristocracy, Purficott herself is still an emerging aristocrat, but obviously she cannot occupy three places by herself, and must choose one of them as her own label .
Once a person is labeled, driven by interests or coerced by groups, various behaviors will inevitably be affected.
Of course Purficott is not affected, but others are not necessarily affected. After all, if you label a certain group and enjoy the benefits of labeling, you must serve the interests of that group.
Unless you are so strong that the group relies on you instead of you relying on the benefits of the group.
After internal differentiation, for the benefit of each small group, it will naturally have an impact on the collective interests of the larger group.
Perhaps they will still work together to safeguard the interests of the large group, but the struggle for interests between small groups within the large group will undoubtedly destroy its cohesion.
There are 100 seats in the parliament, and I'm afraid some people will be confused.
This is also the method that Purficott came up with when he felt that he might not be able to control the majority of seats in the parliament.
After all, the impact of one faction holding thirty seats is completely different from three factions holding ten seats each.
After finalizing these, various interest groups have now started their own internal parliamentary elections in full swing, intending to elect their own interest representatives.
For Purficott, there is not much to pay attention to in this matter. The Northern Territory's own factions and interest groups will spontaneously win enough parliamentary seats, which does not require her to worry about it.
And compared to the parliamentary election, the election of the prime minister is the focus of Purficott's attention.
Under the Queen's persuasion, Purficott did consider running for prime minister, but she was still hesitant and had not made up her mind. Becoming prime minister naturally has many benefits for Purficott, the most important of which is that she can transform the country according to her own ideas.
It doesn't have to be like now. When she wants to do something, she still needs to use the influence of the northern lords to influence the empire's center.
Not only is there a layer of separation, but the Empire Center is not a yes-man completely under her control. Sometimes the formulation and execution of policies will deviate greatly from what she hopes.
But at the same time, Purficott also lacks the necessary confidence in his ability to govern.
She is confident that she can propose a governance plan that is most suitable for this country, but the reality of the original world tells her that there is often a huge gap between ideals and reality.
Many times you may hope for the same appearance, but various compromises with reality during the execution process will eventually cause the whole thing to deviate from your original plan.
Just like a famous failed art student, who can deny that when he came to power, he hoped to pull his country out of the quagmire and make the country prosperous and strong again?
However, the development of things was obviously beyond his control. The country was like a high-speed chariot that ran too fast and lost control, eventually turning into a disaster that affected the whole world.
So Purficott was hesitant. She knew that she was actually an idealist. Although she would compromise with reality, most of the time she would just beat reality to make it what she wanted it to be.
And this mentality may not be a good thing for a leader, because it is likely to evolve into a dictator and tyrant.
"Governing a country! It's a pity that I'm not that kind of careerist. Otherwise, there would be a whole country waiting for me to express my ideals and implement my ideas. Who could resist this temptation!" Purficott shook his head. Shaking his head, he was too lazy to think about it in the end. He stood up from the sofa, took off his clothes and walked to the bathroom in the carriage, ready to take a bath and relax.
This special train is a luxury train specially built for her. It not only has luxurious bedrooms and suites, but also special bathroom facilities. The entire train is dedicated to her alone, and this carriage is her exclusive suite. , taking a bath or something is naturally not a problem.
Befa followed Purficott, picked up the clothes scattered on the ground for her, and prepared bath water and clean clothes for Purficott, and then began to help Purficott bathe.
Soaking in the bathtub, while Purficott was relaxing his body and mind, his thoughts were wandering involuntarily.
"I don't know what happened to Aunt Anne's actions to suppress the colonies. I don't know if those colonies were obedient. I hope they didn't resist. Otherwise, the power of the Divine Grace Knight would be exaggerated." Purficott stirred up the water. , what comes to mind is Princess Anne who goes to show off her muscles to various colonies.
It had been a while since she set out, and although Purficott knew that she would not come back so soon, Purficott couldn't help but wonder how Princess Anne would view this event if she were here.
Based on Purficott's understanding of Princess Anne, she would definitely support the reorganization of the National Assembly. After all, this represented that the voice of the people could finally be heard in the highest decision-making body of the empire.
But for the cabinet and prime minister, Purficott felt that Princess Anne might not support this system. After all, it was a division of imperial power.
