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 happens during the break during the election process, no one discusses.

Everyone has the right to express his or her thoughts at any time and on any occasion. This is the basic law written into the Charter.

Even the federal president cannot shut up a person at a certain time or on a specific occasion by using his privileges!

So during the break, everyone can canvass votes directly.

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

For example, in the Capitol, when important bills are being 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 trying to exercise after sitting for a long time, but to canvass votes.

Dynamic canvassing, promising benefits, and winning over 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 number of votes is exceeded and the reason is postponed!

Everyone will always change their previous decisions after receiving different external "stimuli" at each time period.

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

Maybe your ally stood firmly by your side in the last bid, but in the next vote, you thought he would still be your strong support, but he stabbed you directly in the back!

This also gave 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 very vividly illustrates the complex and contradictory political ecological environment. Everyone may be an ally, but friends may also be enemies. Perhaps this is the highest expression of official business!

Senator Langdon arrived at the office building early. There were three candidates this time, all of whom had high reputations within 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 was thinking about was the selection of party leaders two years ago. Perhaps from that time on, the short old man had already begun to pave the way for his successor.

He sent the person most likely to become the chairman of the committee to the position of party leader in advance, and then asked his successor to choose one of the other two less powerful candidates.

A series of exchanges of political interests made today's voting seem like a process. Everything was so fair and just, but was it really like that?

Senator Langdon's eyes no longer only stayed at superficial places like in the past. He stared at the entire venue, staring at the party representatives walking back and forth.

These people are not members of the House of Representatives or senators, but to some extent, they are more important to the future direction of this country than the members of Congress!

They are the ones who decide the future!

As Senator Langdon walked down the steps, the short old man's successor came over.

He looked very young, probably only about thirty-five years old, but in fact he was forty-seven years old.

It is difficult to tell the actual age of Federation men, especially wealthy men, from their appearance. Men will appear older when they are younger.

But after reaching middle age, the middle-aged state and appearance will be maintained for a long time.

This guy's name is Gladstone. His grandfather was once a governor. Later, he was assassinated because of some problems.

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

The rich Aboriginal people believe they should not live in reserves and want more freedom and power.

But this is obviously impossible. Everyone knows that the federal people almost killed these indigenous people to extinction before, and in the end had to establish multiple reserves to protect the sparsely populated indigenous people.

Giving them more power now is like putting a loaded gun into their hands, with the muzzle pointed at their own hearts.

At that time, Gladstone's grandfather had terrible methods. He "suppressed bandits" many times within his jurisdiction. It is said that he killed more than 50,000 horse bandits. 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 some claimed during the process that he had started another ethnic cleansing, the federal government subsequently dispatched an investigative team to investigate these rumors and ultimately concluded that they were just rumors.

All those killed were bandits and horse bandits, and there were no natives at all.

As for why the natives have become so rare, isn’t it mentioned in the newspapers?

As the natives became rich, many bandits and horse bandits from various places frequently attacked the natives in the reserve, causing many deaths and injuries...

Since this incident, there have been cases of bandits and horse bandits attacking protected areas across the country, and they were quickly suppressed.

From then on, the indigenous people never talked about asking for more power or leaving the protected areas.

His grandfather did not die after being assassinated, but was seriously injured, and he had to leave politics.

Gladstone's father inherited his grandfather's political capital and connections. In addition, he was a very lucky man. He succeeded in two political speculations and also married a girl from another political family.

Coupled with the wealth passed down to him by his father, plus a lot of gold, jewelry, cash, antiques, and stocks, it is a very considerable sum of money.

Some people say that this money was collected when he massacred the natives, but their family never admitted this and regarded it as the wealth of the family for generations.

As for why previous generations did not live well despite having so much wealth, they did not answer directly.

In addition to these, he also had some contacts with the military. When the old governor suppressed the bandits and horse bandits, the army also contributed a lot.

Wealth, power, and marriage have made Gladstone's family power unprecedentedly stronger.

When he arrived at Gladstone, he graduated with honors from the Holy Peace Academy and became a full member of the Holy Peace Society.

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

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

But he hopes to become the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee. At least this chairman can be re-elected until he is too old to work anymore, instead of leaving after eight years.

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

This kind of person who stands at the end of the track as soon as he is born is indeed enviable, but then again, this is all the result of the efforts of his grandfather and father.

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

In short, his winning rate is very high.

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

If you can get to this point without falling, there will basically be no problems in a short period of time.

Regardless of whether others like him or not, they must admit his success!

In the Federation, as long as you are brilliant enough, no matter whether the light on you is emitted by yourself or stolen, people will respect you!

The two shook hands and said nothing else. Everything was said in silence.

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

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

Some of these people only hold positions within the party, but as mentioned before, although they do not have "public offices," their influence on the Progressive Party, Congress, and even the federal government is no less than that of senators!

I sit in the second row, which is very suitable!

At this time, there were still people entering the venue, everyone was greeting each other, and some people were sitting together, lowering their heads and biting their ears.

Everyone from the "Langdon Gang" came over to say hello to Senator Langdon and share their opinions.

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

At this very moment, they were following not the opinion of the short old man, nor the opinion of other senior committee members, but the opinion of Senator Langdon.

As time passed slowly, the meeting began.

At this time, reporters were already crowded outside the office building of the Progressive Party Committee, and a number of mounted policemen were dispatched from the regional police station to take care of traffic and maintain order.

All the media and the middle class are paying attention to this matter. They are eager to know who the next chairman of the Progressive Party Committee will be!

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

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

In a secret ballot, each person is given an envelope in front of them, containing a card with the names of the three candidates and the option to abstain.

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

This kind of voting is different from proposal voting. Proposal voting is an on-site voting. You can have different opinions from others, but you also need to give others a chance to know why you disagree.

Awareness is different from non-proposal voting. This does not require identification. Of course, if you insist on others knowing how different you are, that is not impossible!

Soon, the first round of vote counting begins...
