In this election, it has been curbed to a certain extent, especially its important ally, Cao Ying, an independent lawmaker who broke away from the Justice Party, failed in the third district, which is a big blow to it, because Cao Ying has always been As a highly professional commentator on current affairs and an advocate of equal rights theory, Ying’s influence in the Beiguan Assembly is unique.

The third largest party is the Sunflower Party. Its original purpose was to fight for more political rights for the people of Central China and demand the removal of all aristocratic privileges. In some areas, the more radical Sunflower Party even launched an independence movement. , of course, in Lu Ming's view, these independence movements are actually the same as those of the Catalans in Spain, the Corsicans in France, etc. in his previous life. Most people who shout independence slogans are asking for more. Autonomous power, rather than really wanting to break away from the empire, the ultimate goal is naturally to be similar to a completely independent political system, but continue to reap the dividends of a huge empire.

In the East China Sea, the Sunflower Party is still quite powerful. There are rumors that the Sunflower Party is preparing to introduce a bill in a certain satellite town. The content of the proposal is that in the circuit court of that town, the chief judge will be a Central Continent person.

In fact, there are various signs that in the East China Sea, the old custom that the chief judge of all levels of courts must be a Greifenian has been shaken.

After all, the times are developing, and the East China Sea is the most open-minded and active place. Historically, the political and economic rights of many Central Continent people were first won in the East China Sea.

Du Jiahe suddenly raised his voice: "Dear colleagues, last month, when the Privy Council Office of the Public Reserver conducted a customary advisory survey on political parties in various towns, they mentioned whether the urban municipal committees could be streamlined. According to the Privy Council It seems that this is not just a pretense. It is possible that the first proposal we vote on this time is Privy Council Proposal No. 1. The general content is to streamline the number of municipal committees and make decisions on more matters. The power shall be submitted to the parliament for a vote before it takes effect.”

Lu Ming nodded as he listened. When a city develops to a certain extent, the city management committee system will gradually become outdated. There were many development directions in the previous life, and the transformation to a council-mayor system is one of them.

From the East China Sea, it is a relatively routine and peaceful procedure for such major changes to be proposed by the Duke and Privy Council. It should be recognized by most of the upper-level political groups. Otherwise, this kind of change will become drastic and confusion.

However, it seems that it is only being implemented in satellite towns now, and it should be used as a kind of observation, a transition, or a test field.
Furthermore, there will definitely be councils in satellite towns that reject the proposal. This depends on the relatively strong political party group in the local council and their understanding of the change. Whether it will harm the interests of the group or benefit the group.

Over there, Du Jiahe said with a smile: "If the seven-member committee really wants to be streamlined, can you tell me the pros and cons?!"

Everyone was talking about it. Of course, most people thought that if there is such a proposal, it still depends on the specific content. For example, should the seven-member committee be reduced to five people? Or reduce it to 3 people? What powers of the original committee would be limited? How much power will be delegated to the plenary session of Parliament?

If it is reduced to three people, then no matter what, the whole party should firmly oppose it.

The outer door was lightly knocked, and a civil servant in black uniform came in. He handed the Du family and a large letter with both hands. The pattern on it was the giant bear emblem of the Duke's Privy Council.
Wait.
Du Jiahe solemnly opened the seal of the letter, took out a few pages of gorgeous paper, and looked through it slowly.

According to this proposal, Beiguan will change from a seven-member committee to a five-member committee.
Wait.
Moreover, the power of the chief committee member has been greatly reduced. Originally, the chief committee member had three votes on the municipal committee. Now, he only has one vote.
The remaining municipal committee members must also share the work of the city hall. They are no longer just summoned by the chief committee member to vote by a show of hands when the municipal committee meets.
According to this proposal, Beiguan will change from a seven-member committee to a five-member committee.
The expansion of parliamentary power can be ignored. After all, basically what the municipal committee decides can itself represent the result of the game between the political groups in the parliament.

The remaining municipal committee members must also share the work of the city hall. They are no longer just summoned by the chief committee member to vote by a show of hands when the municipal committee meets.
As expected, the nominee was Dale Bucklow, also known as Bucklow Sr.

Christine? ?
As expected, the nominee was Dale Bucklow, also known as Bucklow Sr.
This, although I had heard that the position of the Duke was unstable, I never thought that Charles IX would focus on his daughter.
But looking down, Lu Ming was slightly startled, the nominee, Christine Charles De Donghai?
Of course, the nomination of the chief committee member of the urban municipality does not confirm the nominee's status as a public reserve, it is just a default.
Christine? ?
In other words, it is Archduke Charles. The child he values most today is likely to be his successor.
This, although I had heard that the position of the Duke was unstable, I never thought that Charles IX would focus on his daughter.
But until the day when Archduke Charles dies or abdicates, anything is possible.
Of course, the nomination of the chief committee member of the urban municipality does not confirm the nominee's status as a public reserve, it is just a default.
After all, how many years has Christine's eldest brother Hans been in the position of public heir apparent? Haven't you stepped aside?
In other words, it is Archduke Charles. The child he values most today is likely to be his successor.
Lu Ming thought about it wildly, with a calm expression on his face, and handed the letter to Wang Zili beside him.

Comrades, there is a leader who insists on seeing me in the evening. I am really embarrassed not to go. I have already made time to meet with the leader... Although, thanks to the continuous love of readers, I really don’t care much about these, a little bit. I'm confident that I won't need them, but I haven't met them for several months, so I might as well go there. I'll take a look at the chapter at midnight. Let's update it together at 6 pm tomorrow. You don't have to wait.
