Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1733 Forcing the Palace

Chapter 1733 Forcing the Palace
In recent years, the British people have become less and less tolerant of the British government.

No, it should be said that the British people have higher and higher demands on the British government. However, in the past two years, there have been national strikes and economic crises. The performance of the Conservative Party government is indeed not good.

It is also understandable to think about it. Since the GDP of the United States surpassed that of the United Kingdom in 1894 to become the world's number one, the British economy has begun to decline.

After the World War, the economy of southern Africa also surpassed that of the British Empire. Compared with the United States and southern Africa, the British Empire was walking like an old man, which is really embarrassing. The British people infinitely miss the glory of Queen Victoria. Compared with the present The tragedy of the British Empire, the British government really deserves it.

At the same time as the London meeting was held, the Labor Party led by Ramsay Macdonald and the Liberal Party led by Lloyd George, in view of the inaction of the current cabinet after the outbreak of the economic crisis, sat by and watched Britain suffer heavy losses, and launched an attack on the current cabinet. Impeachment calls for the en masse resignation of cabinet members and immediate national elections.

On April 4th, the British House of Commons questioned Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin in accordance with the charter. This impeachment has aroused strong concern from the whole British society. Lord Justice Cave and Prince Edward, the representative of the royal family, also attended the meeting. Speaker of the House of Commons John Henry Whitley chaired the meeting.

"—the current cabinet is not inactive. After the resignation of Prime Minister Ramsey MacDonald, the current cabinet was appointed at a critical moment—" Stanley Baldwin's speech was interrupted by boos one after another at the beginning.

The British Parliament still follows the old tradition of the past, with stepped seats and no chairs. Members of Parliament are crowded together, just like students attending a big class.

There is at least one advantage of such a venue, even if the microphone is not used, the speaker's words can be heard clearly by the parliamentarians.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. The speaking seats are less than two meters away from the seats of the congressmen. This also causes the emotions of the congressmen to be conveyed to anyone without any obstacles, and the slightest booing can be heard clearly.

"We have perfectly handled the national strike that just passed. The outbreak of the economic crisis is something none of us want to see. You should give the cabinet enough trust. What we need is time—" Stanley Baldwin shouted loudly, shh The sound did not decrease, but grew louder.

The congressmen didn't just boo Stanley Baldwin. When Stanley Baldwin was speaking, the congressmen who opposed Stanley Baldwin chanted.

"Resign quickly, Your Excellency, don't wait for His Majesty to drive you out of No. [-] Downing Street—"

"The end of the national strike has nothing to do with you, Prime Minister, you have betrayed the coal miners who trusted you!"

"Go down quickly and give up the position to a more suitable person—"

Seeing that the order was in danger of getting out of control, Speaker Whitley maintained order in time.

"Gentlemen, please observe the order, and the speakers must come one by one—"

The booing stops.

Before Stanley Baldwin could speak, Ramsay McDonald, who was sitting opposite Stanley Baldwin, snatched the microphone.

"Don't shirk responsibility, you just do nothing, it was the case in the national general strike before, and it is still the case now, otherwise how can you explain why Southern Africa has not been affected by the economic crisis?" Ramsey MacDonald attacked Definitely, he wasn't as strong as prime minister.

Ramsay Macdonald may not be a good prime minister, but he must be a good politician.

A qualified politician must be good at finding fault.

"Southern Africa is not unaffected—" Stanley Baldwin's defense was weak, or so it seemed.

"At least the Federal Government of Southern Africa reacted very quickly. As soon as the economic crisis broke out, the Federal Government of Southern Africa introduced a series of measures to protect Southern Africa to the greatest extent. At the same time, what did you do?" Ramsay MacDonald Na has always talked about southern Africa, and firmly grasped the pain points of the British.

To be honest, the British are basically acceptable to the rise of the Americans. After all, the United States has developed for more than 100 years since the War of Independence before surpassing the United Kingdom. This is basically in line with common sense.

Southern Africa is too much. It does not need to be counted from the establishment of the Southern African Federal Government. Even from the end of the Second Boer War, Southern Africa has only developed for less than 25 years, and its economy has surpassed that of the British mainland. It is really unacceptable to the British.

Not to mention the British, everyone in the world cannot accept it.

It's like a group of people running a race. At first everyone was running well, but suddenly a person passed by on a motorcycle at high speed. You say this should be hateful.

"When the economic crisis just broke out, the cabinet also proposed some measures. It was because of your obstruction that they were not implemented—" Stanley Baldwin was also helpless. The cabinet's inaction could not be blamed on others, but the British Parliament.

This is really helpless, and Stanley Baldwin doesn't want to be idle, but all cabinet decisions must be approved by Congress before they can be implemented.

This is also the biggest drawback of British politics. With people like Ramsay MacDonald and Lloyd George in Parliament, the British government can't do anything.

Not only this economic crisis, but also the last national strike.

Stanley Baldwin didn't know how to buy votes through welfare policies, but Congress didn't cooperate, and even if Stanley Baldwin had a great ability, he had no place to display it.

"You mean the parliament is responsible? This is shameless shirk responsibility!" Ramsay Macdonald opened fire and sprayed Stanley Baldwin with saliva.

The distance between the two of them was too close, and there was only a table between them.

Still placed sideways.

Speaker Whitley exchanged glances with Viscount Cave and Prince Edward beside him, and decided to give Stanley Baldwin a chance: "Be quiet, gentlemen—Your Excellency Prime Minister, now you have 5 minutes to state the cabinet's Those efforts to protect the British Empire after the economic crisis broke out."

"Thank you, Speaker, just after the economic crisis broke out, the cabinet decided to devalue the pound by 30.00% to promote British exports and maintain competitiveness—" Stanley Baldwin was interrupted by the noise just as he spoke.

"It's not plagiarism, it's plagiarism from the Federal Government of Southern Africa, you should be ashamed—"

"God, is the Prime Minister we have worked so hard to choose, is this level?"

"Depreciation is over-issued currency. Do we have enough gold reserves?"

There are so many questions, Stanley Baldwin chooses an answer: "We are negotiating with the federal government of Southern Africa, hoping that Southern Africa can increase our gold supply—"

"And the result? What was the result?"

"Will the Federal Government of Southern Africa agree to this request?"

Stanley Baldwin is really hard to beat with two fists: "So we gave up the gold bullion standard, untied the pound from gold—"

"It's stupid. Southern Africa unlinked the rand from gold because the rand is not an international currency. We unlinked the pound from gold. It just makes people lose confidence in the pound — —" Ramsey McDonald seized the opportunity again, and he couldn't copy his homework without changing it. Some methods in southern Africa are not suitable for the United Kingdom.

"Can you let me finish my sentence, let me spend at least 5 minutes—" Earl Baldwin of Bodleian, the level of quarrel is indeed not as good as that of Ramsey Macdonald, who was born as a commoner.

"We've given you two chances to be Prime Minister, and it's a waste of a second to give you—" Ramsay Macdonald didn't give Stanley Baldwin a chance to speak at all.

"But your performance as prime minister was also a disaster for the British Empire—" Stanley Baldwin was finally pulled to the same level by Ramsay MacDonald with his rich experience.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Speaker Whitley shook his head speechlessly.

The situation in the UK is indeed different from that in southern Africa.

But some things are the same, such as the influence of the prime minister on the parliament, not to mention the complete control as in southern Africa, at least it should not be the out-of-control situation that quarrels at the meeting.

It is said that the efficiency of the British government is low, so noisy every day, the efficiency can not be low.

"My lord, what do you think?" Whitley covered the microphone and asked for Viscount Cave's opinion.

Viscount Cave shook his head slightly, not knowing whether he was disappointed with Stanley Baldwin or the House of Commons.

"Your Highness, what do you think?" Whitley turned to Prince Edward.

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, has lost the trust of the Parliament—" Prince Edward just spoke, and Whitley's expression changed drastically.

Prince Edward was still not experienced enough, and he didn't cover the microphone when he spoke. Whitley had no time to stop him, and Prince Edward's voice had spread throughout the venue.

"Ha, did you hear that, Prime Minister, you have lost the trust of both the parliament and the royal family. If I were you, I would resign immediately—" Ramsay MacDonald reacted quickly.

What this means is that when Ramsay McDonald was prime minister, he was faced with two impeachments by Congress, and if any one passed, Ramsay McDonald would be forced to resign.

But at that time, Ramsay MacDonald was not so high-spirited. Even in the face of such great pressure, Ramsay Macdonald still refused to resign until George V and Ramsay Macdonald After talking with Na, Ramsay MacDonald reluctantly left No. [-] Downing Street.

"Okay, I will submit my resignation to His Majesty, are you satisfied now?" Stanley Baldwin was disheartened, roared and said this, then turned and left.

There was a sudden silence at the scene, and many congressmen who had ridiculed and ridiculed Stanley Baldwin just now felt lost. They had achieved their goal, but they didn't seem to be very happy.
