Chapter 226 Candidates are chosen

1. The election of the Cabinet Government of the Kingdom of Australasia officially begins. new

Compared with the previous two elections, this election was much more grand and formal.

In addition, this was the first election since the founding of the Kingdom, and it was also an election to change the Prime Minister. It not only caused a huge sensation in the political arena, but also attracted the attention of many Australasians.

Australasians are all looking forward to who the new government will be and what more specific administrative policies it will have.

However, despite expectations, no Australasian showed any uneasiness.

There is no other reason. Everyone knows that Arthur is the most powerful person. As long as Arthur is still the king of Australasia, the various welfare policies in Australasia will not disappear, and will even increase.

Under such a premise, the selection of government officials becomes less important. Australasians' focus on the election is actually more about recognition of the previous government and support for the Royal Government.

Compared with the last cabinet election, only the House of Representatives participated in this election.

However, the number of people in the House of Representatives has already exceeded two hundred. Therefore, the momentum of this election is much greater than that of the previous two elections. The vast majority of people and political parties are gearing up to attack the highest level of Australasian politics.

The members participating in this cabinet election include a total of 212 members of the House of Representatives, 11 members of the current cabinet, as well as the Royal Council, the Electoral Federation and Arthur who are responsible for supervision.

The Royal Parliament and the Electoral Federation and Arthur, who are responsible for supervision, do not have the right to vote and are only supervisors and witnesses of this election.

Everyone else is a participant in the election and can theoretically run for any position in the cabinet.

Compared with the last two elections, this time's election is more volatile, and the members of the cabinet government are also likely to experience major changes.

Over the past four years, the party has also experienced significant expansion in size. Although it is not so obvious among the lower-class civilians, all political parties currently occupy more than 70% of the seats in the House of Representatives, greatly reducing the number of individual candidates.

Of course, this is not good news for people who want to run. This means that their competitors have changed from weak individual candidates to political parties, greatly increasing the difficulty of the election.

The election will last for a week. This election has added candidates' speeches and canvassing for votes, which also doubled the election time. New 𝐱.𝐜𝐨𝐦

This kind of election is more formal. After all, all candidates have to introduce themselves, right?

During this week, Arthur also appeared on the first and last days, and the rest of the time was supervised by the Royal Parliament and the Electoral Union.

As for Arthur, he was always there to make the candidates perform abnormally. He might as well return to Sydney Palace to spend his honeymoon with Queen Mary and discuss the structure of the human body.

After Arthur worked hard for several days, this time the cabinet government election was also declared a success.

In fact, all the intelligence information on the candidates had been placed on Arthur's desk long before the cabinet government elections began.

Especially for candidates who have a high probability of being elected as cabinet ministers, their information is more detailed, and they even have detailed information about their ancestors, friends, etc.

Speaking of which, we have to praise the current expansion of the Royal Security Intelligence Service.

The current number of intelligence officers of the Royal Security Intelligence Service has exceeded 700, spread across Australasia, East Asia, Europe, the United States and other regions.

Among them, Australasia is one of the areas with the most investment. Currently, it has more than 300 intelligence personnel, controlling everything in Australasia for Arthur.

The fact that such detailed information can be obtained before the election is enough to demonstrate the current capabilities and efficiency of the Royal Security Intelligence Service.

Arthur took a rough look at the lists, focusing on those candidates who might become cabinet ministers.

Among those, the names of Fine Gael and the Country Party were frequently mentioned. In particular, the heads of Fine Gael and the Country Party are among the most likely candidates to become cabinet ministers.

The Fine Gael Party and the Country Party are currently the two most powerful parties in Australasia, occupying 24% and 21% of the seats in the House of Representatives respectively.

1, which is also the last day of the election.

Arthur arrived at the election conference room, looked at the expectant MPs, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I am very happy to once again witness the birth of the third cabinet government of Australasia. There are familiar people in the cabinet government. Faces, I am happy that you can continue to stay in this position. Those who have not been successful in the election should not be discouraged. Everyone, whether as a cabinet member, as a parliamentarian, or even as a civilian, can serve in various positions. Contribute to the development and construction of the Kingdom and contribute our own efforts to the dream of the rise of our great country."

The crowd applauded excitedly.

"After the cabinet members take office, there are still a large number of positions waiting for you in various departments. Anyone who is not elected can rely on the announcement issued by the government in the future and apply for specific positions according to the process." Arthur continued.

For many MPs who have just entered politics, it is difficult to directly become one of the cabinet ministers, but they can also make their own efforts as important officials in various departments.

During this stage, they can also accumulate more political experience and management experience to prepare and lay a solid foundation for their future election.

After all, this is also an important position in an important national department. Although it is not the highest level of the national government, it can be regarded as a step to the sky for ordinary people.

Especially the deputy positions of ministers of various departments, that is, the deputy ministers. If something happens to a department minister, they will temporarily take over the minister's duties until the next cabinet election.

Although the deputy minister of the department is not as prominent as the minister, and his power and status are not as great, he is definitely one of the top leaders of the government. Apart from the minister, he is also the most fiercely contested position in previous elections.

These positions are also the best choice for people with good abilities but no background.

If they can gain higher recognition based on their abilities, such as Arthur's attention, then they can achieve success in one step.

"Okay, then the next step is to announce the official list of cabinet members." Arthur glanced at the people with different expressions and said with a smile.

New 🅇.🄲🄾🄼

"I announce that the candidate for the Minister of Industry in the new cabinet government is - Pierre Silvio Berlusconi!"

Well, no doubt about it. As one of the ministers of important departments, Industry Minister Pierre was once again re-elected and will continue to join the new cabinet government as Industry Minister.

After hearing his name, Minister Pierre was obviously relieved.

In fact, before the election, Minister Pierre hesitated to attack the position of Prime Minister, but finally decided to stabilize his position as Minister of Industry first.

For Minister Pierre, becoming prime minister may be just a possibility, but retaining the position of industry minister is a certainty.

The credit of Minister Pierre can be seen from the speed of industrial development in Australasia over the past seven years. Although Arthur paved the way for the industrial development of Australasia, the actual implementation of policies and measures was still carried out by Pierre. Minister.

“In the new cabinet government, the candidate for the Minister of Public Security is Thomas Cech!”

Minister Thomas, like Minister Pierre, was one of the former colonial prime ministers, and his achievements in office were not small, so his re-election was natural.

Of course, this is also their third term as cabinet minister. If they fail to challenge the top position in the next election, they will also temporarily leave the positions of cabinet ministers.

“In the new cabinet government, the candidate for Agriculture Minister is Mark Reddell!”

Mark Reddell, a completely unfamiliar name, is also one of the new members of this cabinet government.

Mark Reddell is the head of the Country Party, Australasia's second largest political party, and it is understandable that he won the position of agriculture minister.

Compared with the previous two ministers who have been re-elected for the third time, Mark Reddell seems much more excited. But this is understandable. After all, becoming a high-level official in the country is considered to be the pinnacle of life.

"In the new cabinet government, the candidate for Minister of Transportation is-Lauren Robert!"

It's also a new name, Lauren Roberts is the leader of Fine Gael.

"In the new cabinet government, the candidate for Minister of Education is - Richard Noble Chapman!"

The Minister of Richard is also an acquaintance. Education in Australasia is currently developing very well, and Arthur has no plans to replace him for the time being.

"In the new cabinet government, the candidate for Minister of People's Livelihood is-Henrys Clitter!"

Agriculture Minister Henris became the minister of the Ministry of People's Livelihood, an important department in the new cabinet government. This was something that even Arthur had not thought of.

After all, Henrys was an ordinary official of the Sydney City Government and had no background or connections.

However, Secretary Henry's ability is indeed good, and he also has a heart to serve the country, so it is suitable.

Just because Minister Henrys was able to spend one-third of his salary to help the poor when he was a small official in the city government is enough to show the kindness of Minister Henrys.

“The new cabinet government, the Minister of Health

The candidate is - Willie Watson! "

This is a position that requires competence, and no one has yet been able to challenge Minister Willie’s status.

"In the new cabinet government, the candidate for defense minister is--Kent Crawford Rolen!"

"In the new cabinet government, the candidate for Finance Minister is-Roger Joseph Ebert!"

Minister Kent and Minister Roger are Arthur's absolute confidants, and their re-election is a matter of course.

The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Finance are absolutely important positions in the cabinet government and must be under Arthur's control.

Even if Minister Kent and Minister Roger step down in the future, the new candidates will definitely be Arthur's confidants, not those who elected them.

Political parties and individual voters are fully aware of this, and they are not arrogant enough to think that they can obtain these two positions.

"In the new cabinet government, the candidate for foreign minister is--Andrew King Porter!"

Minister Andrew is also a veteran employee. It is not difficult for them to win a third term.

The time when they face the real choice is actually the next election.

After three terms of cabinet ministers completed their terms, the choice they faced was not only to attack the prime minister, but also to bid farewell to the cabinet government temporarily.

But the election of the next cabinet government will be even more chaotic, and Prime Minister Evan will also get the chance to be re-elected. Coupled with the new Prime Minister seeking re-election, and the impact of all the old employees on the Prime Minister's position, this may be Australasia. This is the most intense competition for the position of Prime Minister since many elections.

"Okay, after the selection of cabinet ministers, the position of prime minister that you are most looking forward to is." Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"I announce that the candidate for prime minister of the new cabinet government is Walter Brack!"

Walter Brack is the Minister of People's Livelihood in the second cabinet government and the most prestigious person in the cabinet government besides Prime Minister Evan.

Walter Brack has been the number two figure in Australian politics since the pre-colonial period, always under Prime Minister Evan.

This time he finally won the position of prime minister, and he was considered the first person in the political arena.

After the list was read out, Arthur made the final summary: "Everyone, a new cabinet government has been born. Let us congratulate these elected members!"

After a burst of applause, Arthur continued: "The new cabinet government includes many of our old faces, as well as many new members. But whether they are old faces or new ones, I hope they can uphold the principles of serving the country. Believe in striving for development and stick to your heart.”

"You have become a member of the cabinet government. This is the support of all MPs and the support of all Australasians. For the sake of Australasia and the development and rise of the kingdom, you must do more than before. Be better and become a role model for the people!"

Amidst the applause, this time the cabinet government election was officially concluded.
