The study room of the commander's residence.

Lu Ming meets Jacob and his wife. Jacob's wife is also a hot girl, but she pales in comparison to Danilova.

The organization of the Five Jacob Brothers no longer exists, and Jacob is on his way to the upper class.

Gaston Security Company has become a legal mercenary company.

However, because the Gedians are the main body of armed security guards and mercenaries, representatives from the military are stationed and every action they take will be reviewed.

But the "military" in the Gede area naturally reflects the will of Commander Bit.

Moreover, Jacob also resigned from his position as president of the security company and concentrated on being a representative of the public opinion of the Ged people. He also served as a director of several Ged people's industrial unions.

Today Jacob was also appointed as the public representative of the Gede people, and the couple were received by Commander Bit together.

In the general election of Gir City, the Ged people won the right to vote, but there were still some disputes.

In addition to the original 100,000 Geed people in the entire Gir area, and the nearly 100,000 immigrants who were later approved to return to Gir City by Mrs. Bridget’s “Ged Community Reconstruction Plan”, in fact, due to the political atmosphere and the The implementation of various plans to assist the Gede people has attracted many additional Gede refugees to come back to Gil. It is hard to estimate the number of these people, but the overall feeling is that there must be 100,000 people.

There is great controversy over whether this part of the population can obtain legal voting rights.

Seven out of ten senior members of the Election Committee agreed to give these people the right to vote. Most of the twenty ordinary members drawn from the local area did not agree with this. Immigrants are very wary of the Gade people and worry that they may come back and they may be the ones driven away.

When talking to Jacob, Lu Ming wanted him to pay attention to the possible radical ideas and revenge ideas of some organizations of the Ged people.

We must do our best to promote the Ged people as a harmless group, let us let go of the past and look forward to the future.

Jacob agreed happily.

In fact, the Geed people are now joining forces. It is said that there is a plan for millions of Geed people to eventually immigrate back to the state where Gil is located. It is best to build an autonomous region for the Geed people in and around Gil city.

It is impossible for the organization that is secretly planning this matter not to contact Jacob.

Because today's Jacob can be said to be the most powerful and powerful representative among the Gedes.

But Jacob didn’t say anything, and Lu Ming didn’t ask.

My interests have never been aligned with those of the Gaede people. Instead, the place was in chaos and even **** incidents occurred, and I could take advantage of it.

In my own eyes, some individual lives are just numbers.

Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart every time he thought of this.

The dinner was sumptuous, and the female cooks in the service company were very good at it.

After opening a bottle of brandy, Lu Ming and Jacob and his wife chatted and laughed happily.

In fact, Jacob and his wife are very reserved.

Everything Jacob had was given by the young commander in front of him who had a large army.

Moreover, this young commander has risen rapidly in the Gede region at an almost visible speed.

Of course, his qualifications in the Western Regions meant that he had a large number of troops, and now he has just returned to normal, but this is an even more terrifying figure.

"I heard that you just came back from New Newman City yesterday, and His Majesty the King granted you the title of Earl of Mid-Levels Castle?" Jacob asked cautiously.

Lu Ming smiled and said: "It's just a routine procedure for entering the King's Privy Council. You must be a Lord to become a member of the Privy Council. If it is not hereditary, the fiefdom is virtual and insignificant."

The so-called Mid-Levels Castle refers to the area where Jill’s Mid-Levels mansion is located.

Jacob smiled and said: "My lord, this is not what I heard. If it is just for the process of entering the Privy Council, you are usually awarded a Lord temporarily, not to mention hereditary. Even if you are not awarded a lifelong Lord, you should be granted a Lordship temporarily. When you become the Minister of the Privy Council, you are automatically exempted from the title of Lord. You are awarded the title of earl, a real noble title, and you may obtain hereditary rights and fief land in the future."

Lu Ming smiled: "You know quite a lot." Henry II's deep meaning was naturally that if he made contributions to him in the future, it would be possible to truly join the hereditary aristocracy.

Jacob obviously had some far-sighted people analyzing it for him before he could understand.

Jacob hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, there are several organizations from other places. They have an idea. I'm worried..."

Lu Ming waved his hand: "As long as you don't engage in illegal activities and are not radical thoughts, you have freedom of speech and you don't need to report to me."

"Okay, okay..." Jacob hurriedly agreed.

……

The third formal meeting of the committee.

The first issue is to discuss whether the Gaede refugees who have returned to the Gir region without authorization have the right to vote in the Gir election.

The opponents also have good reasons. They are not residents of Gir at all. They have just moved to Gir for a month or two or even less. Even if the discriminatory bill prohibiting the free movement of Ged people is now abandoned, according to imperial law, the constituency Voters should also be citizens who have lived locally for more than three months.

The person who spoke the most in support of these Gaede people getting the right to vote was Park Soo-na.

She believes that the Ged people who have been suffering since the war are a special group and they do not even have the right to move freely.

As for Gir City, there were originally three to four million Ged people living there. Most of them were missing or expelled, leaving only more than 100,000 refugees living in slums. When these evicted people and their descendants When they return home, they should have the right to vote, especially those over the age of 18. Most of them used to live in the Gir area, but were expelled.

A local Sonia committee member said that in fact, the more than 100,000 Geed people who came to Gir illegally were not necessarily the Gir people and their descendants who were expelled back then. He also accused the police department of treating illegally migrating Geed people now. Regardless, this caused the terrible consequences of a large number of Gede refugees pouring into Gil in a short period of time.

Park Soo Na's face darkened, "If most of these Gaed people are not part of the return migration, I would like to ask, where did the millions of Gaed people who lived in Gil disappear? Rumors of mass graves Is it true? ”

Commissioner Sonia was silent.

Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, everything should be based on the law. This is not something that our committee can allow exceptionally. These Ged people will not have the right to vote in the Gill election, but we can Issuing a memorandum, the Committee supports the repeal of all discriminatory laws that prohibit the free movement of the Gedd people.”

Listening to General Bute's words, the Sonia committee members all nodded in agreement.

Although General Bit has been rescuing the Ged people, he is naturally doing it because of international pressure. After all, he is a compatriot of his own race and will also be the protector of the interests of the Sonya people in this region in the future.

Sure enough, I supported myself on this issue. As for memorandums and the like, they are also just for show and have no legal effect.

Park Souna gave Lu Ming a deep look with a stern face, "Let's vote. If the results of the committee's vote support them to obtain the right to vote, we should submit the result to the United Kingdom Parliament for decision."

Lu Ming nodded: "Okay."

Both senior members and ordinary members vote in a one-person-one-vote manner. There are ten senior members, but there are twenty local members. Most of the local members voted against. Among the senior members, there are also Lu Ming, Babasha, and Da Lawyer Ryan and three other people voted against it. The result of the vote was naturally that the Ged people who entered the Gir area without the right to move did not have the right to vote in this constituency.

Lu Ming felt funny when he caught a glimpse of Erika's cute look without even bothering to look at him.

In fact, from the perspective of the Gill constituency, the extra 100,000 votes and the less 100,000 votes mean little.

But when the Gede District election comes, if the votes of millions of Gede people can be twisted into a rope, it will definitely not be underestimated. The memorandum is the antecedent that was laid in advance.

"The following matter is to discuss the division of constituencies." After the memorandum discussion, General Affairs Officer Mutolov announced.

The division of constituencies is actually a very subtle matter. Although Mayor Gill is a true universal suffrage system, each voter has one vote. In the end, the absolute number of votes has little to do with how the constituencies are divided.

But in the parliamentary election, the division of constituencies is extremely important. In future generations, big data can be used to cleverly arrange the constituencies to benefit a certain party group. For example, among 100,000 voters, there are 60,000 red camp and 40,000 blue camp. For ten constituencies, theoretically, the blue camp can be arranged to win most of the constituencies. It only needs to be arranged with slightly more blue camp in those constituencies, while the red camp has more than 20,000 voters who are completely concentrated in two constituencies, and the rest are scattered in Those eight constituencies.

Of course, this is just pure theory, and it is impossible to be so accurate in practice.

However, in later general elections, many constituencies were fragmented. This was the reason why different parties often wanted to change the division of constituencies after winning power. Even if the constituencies were made into extremely strange shapes on the map, they were happy to do so. That, this is the ultimate cause.

As for the initial establishment of Gill's parliamentary constituency today, it is not that troublesome. It is basically divided according to streets, topography, etc.

It’s definitely not cost-effective for the Gaede people. Almost all of their tribe is concentrated in Queens, and they can only get two parliamentary seats in Queens. Queens is divided into two districts, the Upper Queens District and the Lower Queens District. constituency.

The urban area and suburbs of Gill are divided into more than 40 constituencies, and more than 40 councilors will be elected.

The division of constituencies was over, everyone had a hasty lunch, and the next step was to review the candidate qualifications of the mayor and councillors.

According to the electoral laws of the United Kingdom, anyone who is not an adult in prison can register to stand for local elections.

Even if you have a criminal record and are a serial murderer, you can still run for office as long as you have been released from prison.

If you want to run for prime minister, there is an age limit, you must be over thirty years old, but a criminal record is not an obstacle.

However, although it is the first election, many people will feel that there is a chance. In the end, there are not many candidates for Mayor Gill who paid the deposit. After all, they need to pay a fair competition deposit. If the proportion of votes obtained does not reach 100%, First, this deposit is non-refundable.

The same goes for the parliamentary election. If the voting ratio of the constituency cannot be reached, the fair competition deposit will also not be refunded.

The deposit for running for mayor is 10,000 yuan, and the deposit for running for city council is 2,000 yuan.

Seven people will run for mayor of Gill.

More than 200 people have signed up to run for 41 city council seats.

That is, on average, five candidates elect one city council member.

Basically, those who paid a deposit to participate in the registration did not meet the review standards.

Of course, if you feel there is no hope and withdraw from the election one month before voting, the deposit will still be refunded.

In this way, other candidates still have one month to collect those loose votes, so that they will not be disrupted and diverted.

However, the Gill election is relatively hasty. All city councilors will be voted on on February 25, 1968, two months later, and the mayor will be voted on on March 5.

The first mayor will be re-elected after serving for two years, the second term will return to the normal term of four years, and the city councilors will be elected every four years.

In this way, in the future, the general election, mayoral election and councilor election will not be held at the same time, but will be two years apart.

With the checks and balances of power, the mid-term elections of members can be seen as a weather vane. If the members who support the mayor lose one after another, you can know that the mayor is unpopular.
