Rise of Australia

Chapter 226

On 1907 June 6, elections for the Cabinet Government of the Kingdom of Australasia officially began.

Compared with the previous two elections, this election is much more grand, and it is also much more formal.

In addition, this was the first election since the establishment of the kingdom, and it was also an election for the reelection of the prime minister, which not only caused a huge sensation in the political arena, but also attracted the attention of many Australasians.

People in Australasia are looking forward to who will be the members of the new government and what specific administrative policies will it have?

But the expectation is the expectation, and none of the Australasians showed any anxiety.

There is no other reason, everyone knows that Arthur is the highest authority.As long as Arthur is still the king of Australasia, the various welfare policies in Australasia will not disappear, and even will only increase.

Under such a premise, the selection of government officials becomes less important.The concern of Australasians for the election is actually more of their recognition of the previous government and their support for the Royal Government.

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

But the House of Representatives has grown to the present, and the number has already exceeded 200.Therefore, the momentum of the election this time is much greater than the last two. The vast majority of people and political parties are gearing up to attack the highest level of Australasian politics.

The members participating in the cabinet election this time include a total of 210 members of the House of Representatives, [-] members of the current cabinet, as well as the Royal Council responsible for supervision, the Election Federation and Arthur.

The Royal Parliament and Election Federation and Arthur, who are in charge of supervision, do not have the right to vote, but are only the supervisors and witnesses of this election.

All the rest are electoral participants and can theoretically run for any position in the cabinet.

Compared with the last two elections this time, the situation has changed, and the members of the cabinet government are also likely to experience greater changes.

During this four-year period, the size of the political party has also undergone substantial expansion.Although it is not so obvious among the low-level civilians, all current political parties have already occupied more than [-]% of the seats in the House of Representatives, which has greatly reduced the number of individual candidates.

Of course, this is not good news for would-be candidates.This means that their competitors have changed from weak individual candidates to political parties, which greatly increases the difficulty of elections.

The election will last for a week. This election has increased the speeches of the candidates and the canvassing links, which also doubles the election time.

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

During this week, Arthur also appeared on the first and last day, and the rest of the time was supervised by the Royal Council and the Election Federation.

As for Arthur, who has been present to make the candidates perform abnormally, it is better to return to Sydney Palace to spend their honeymoon with Queen Mary, and discuss the structure of the human body by the way.

After several days of Arthur's hard work, the election of the cabinet government this time was also declared a success.

In fact, long before the cabinet government started the election, all the intelligence materials of the candidates had been placed on Arthur's desk.

Especially those candidates who have a high probability of being elected as cabinet ministers, their information is more detailed, and there are even detailed information such as grandparents and friends.

Speaking of this, I have to boast about the current expansion of the Royal Security Intelligence Service.

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

Among them, Australasia is one of the most heavily invested areas, and currently has more than [-] intelligence personnel, controlling everything in Australasia for Arthur.

Being able to obtain such detailed information before the election begins is enough to show the current capability and efficiency of the Royal Security Intelligence Service.

Arthur glanced at those lists roughly, focusing on those candidates who were likely to become cabinet ministers.

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

The Gael Party and the Country Party are currently the two most powerful parties in Australasia, occupying 20.00% of four and 20.00% of the seats in the House of Representatives respectively.

June 1907, 6, was also the last day of the election.

Arthur arrived in the conference room for the election, looked at the expectant members of parliament, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I am very glad to witness the birth of the third cabinet government of Australasia again. The cabinet government has familiar Faces, I am very happy that you can continue to be in this position. Don't be discouraged if you don't win the election, everyone, whether it is as a cabinet member or an MP, or even if it is just a commoner, you can serve in various positions Add bricks and tiles to the development and construction of the kingdom, and contribute 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. All those who are not elected can apply for specific positions according to the process based on the announcement issued by the government in the future." Arthur continued.

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

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

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

Especially the deputies of the ministers of various departments, that is, those deputy ministers.In the event of an accident with a departmental minister, they temporarily take over the duties of the minister 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, and it is also the most fiercely contested position in previous elections except for the minister.

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

If they can gain higher recognition by virtue of their ability, such as Arthur's attention, then they can also reach the sky in one step.

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

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

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

After hearing his name, Minister Pierre was obviously relieved.

In fact, before the election, Minister Pierre also hesitated whether 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 only be possible, but keeping the position of Minister of Industry is a sure thing.

From the speed of industrial development in Australasia over the past seven years, we can see the credit of Minister Pierre. Although Arthur has paved the way for the industrial development of Australasia, the actual implementation of policies and measures is still Pierre. Minister Er.

"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, and his re-election was a matter of course.

Of course, this is also their third term as a cabinet minister.They will also temporarily step down as cabinet ministers if the next election fails to challenge for the top job.

"In the new cabinet government, the candidate for the Minister of Agriculture is - Mark Rydell!"

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

Mark Rydell is the leader of the Country Party, the second largest political party in Australasia, and he can be blamed for the job of agriculture minister.

Compared with the previous two ministers who have been re-elected for the third time, Mark Radell is much more excited.But this is also understandable. After all, becoming a high-level person in the country can be regarded as reaching the pinnacle of life.

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

It's also a new name, with Lauren Roberts head of the Fine Gael Party.

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

Minister Richard is also an acquaintance. The education in Australasia is currently developing very well, and Arthur has no plans to change people for the time being.

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

In the new cabinet government, Minister of Agriculture Henris became the minister of the Ministry of People's Livelihood, an important department, which Arthur did not expect.

After all, Henry was born as an ordinary official of the Sydney City Government, and he has neither background nor connections.

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

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

"The new cabinet government, the Minister of Health
The best candidate is - Willie Watson! "

This is a position that pays attention to ability. For the time being, no one can challenge the position of Minister Willie.

"In the new cabinet government, the candidate for the Minister of Defense is - Kent Clover Rollen!"

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

Minister Kent and Minister Roger are Arthur's absolute confidantes, 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 confidantes, not those they elected.

Both parties and individual electors are well aware of this, and they are not arrogant enough to think they can get either office.

"In the new cabinet government, the candidate for the Minister of Foreign Affairs is - Andrew King Porter!"

Minister Andrew is also an old employee, and it is not difficult for them to get a third term.

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

After the completion of the terms of the three cabinet ministers, the choice they face is not to attack the prime minister, but 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 a chance to be re-elected. Coupled with the new prime minister seeking re-election, and the impact of all the old staff on the position of prime minister, this may be Australasia This is the most intense competition for the position of Prime Minister since many elections.

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

"I declare that for the new cabinet government, the candidate for prime minister is Walter Braque!"

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

Walter Black had been the number two man in Australian politics since the pre-colonial days, under Prime Minister Evan.

This time he finally won the position of prime minister, and he can be regarded as No.1 in the political arena.

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

After a round of applause, Arthur went on to say: "The new cabinet government has many of our old faces and many new members. But whether it is old faces or newcomers, I hope they can uphold the principle of serving the country. The belief of development and struggle, stick to the heart."

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

Amidst the applause, this time the cabinet government election has officially come to an end.
