my wife is a consul

Chapter 783 Preparations for the General Election
Commander's Mansion study.

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

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

Gaston security company, turned into a legal mercenary company.

However, because the Gade people are the main body of armed security and mercenaries, and the military sends representatives to station there, every action of them will be reviewed.

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

Moreover, Jacob also resigned from his position as the president of the security company, and devoted himself to being a representative of Ged people's opinion, and also served as a director of several Ged people's trade unions.

Today, Jacob also received an appointment as a representative of Gade's people's opinion, and the husband and wife were interviewed by Commander Bit together.

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

That is, in addition to the [-] Gade people in the entire Jill area, the nearly [-] immigrants who returned to Jill City after being approved by Mrs. Bridget's "Gade Community Reconstruction Plan" were actually because of the political atmosphere in Jill City and the support for Gade The implementation of various plans by the people has attracted many additional Gaed refugees back to Jill. It is hard to estimate how many of these people are, but the overall feeling is that there are about [-] people.

Whether this part of the population can obtain the legal right to vote is very controversial.

Among the senior members of the Election Committee, seven out of ten people agreed to give these people the right to vote, but most of the twenty ordinary members drawn from the local area did not agree with this point. The Gade people are very vigilant, worried that if they make a comeback, they may be the ones who will be driven away.

When talking with Jacob, what Lu Ming wanted him to pay attention to was the possible radical thoughts and revenge thoughts of some organizations of the Gaide people.

We should do our best to publicize that the Gaide people are a harmless group to humans and animals. Let us let go of the past and look forward to the future.

Jacob readily agreed.

In fact, the Gad people are now connecting together. It is said that there is a plan that millions of Gad people will eventually immigrate back to the state where Jill is located.

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

Because the current Jacob can be said to be the most powerful and powerful representative of the Gaed people.

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

I and the Gade people have never had the same interests. On the contrary, there is a mess here, and there are even bloody incidents, which I can take advantage of.

In my own eyes, the lives of some individuals are just numbers.

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

The dinner was sumptuous, and the cooking female soldiers of the service company were very skilled.

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

In fact, the Jacobs are very restrained.

Everything about Jacob was given by the young commander in front of him with a heavy army in his hands.

Moreover, this young commander rose rapidly in the Gede area at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

Of course, his qualifications in the Western Regions has led him to hold a large army, and now he has only returned to normal, but this is even more terrifying.

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

Lu Ming smiled: "It's just a routine operation for entering the King's Privy Council. You must be a lord to become a member of the Privy Council. It is not hereditary, and the fiefdom is also imaginary. It doesn't matter."

The so-called Banshan Fort refers to the area of ​​Jill's Banshan mansion.

Jacob laughed and said: "My lord, I heard that's not the case. If it's just to enter the Privy Council procedure, it's usually granted temporarily as a lord, not to mention hereditary. Even if it's not awarded a lifelong lord, when the position of Minister of the Privy Council Up and down, the lord will be automatically exempted, and you will be awarded the earl, a real noble title, and it is possible to obtain hereditary rights and fiefdoms in the future."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "You know a lot." Henry II's deep meaning is naturally that if he makes contributions to him in the future, it is possible to truly join the hereditary noble class.

Jacob obviously had some far-sighted people analyze it for him so that he could understand it.

Jacob hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, there are several out-of-town organizations. They have an idea. I'm worried..."

Lu Ming waved his hand: "As long as you don't engage in illegal activities and don't have radical ideas, then you have freedom of speech, and you don't have to inform me."

"Okay, okay..." Jacob quickly agreed.

……

Third formal meeting of the Committee.

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

Opponents also have good reasons. They are not Gir residents at all. They have just migrated to Gir for a month or two or even less. It should be a citizen who has lived in the local area for more than three months.

Park Soo-na spoke the most in favor of these Gade people getting the right to vote.

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

In Gir City, there were three to four million Gade people, most of them disappeared or were expelled, leaving only more than 400 refugees living in slums. When these expelled people and their descendants returned to their homes, They deserve the right to vote, especially those over the age of [-]. Most of them used to live in Gir, but were expelled.

A local Sonia committee member said that in fact, the more than [-] Gad people who came to Jier illegally may not be the Jier people who were deported back then and their descendants, and even accused the police station of not caring about the illegally immigrated Gad people , This caused the terrible consequences of a large number of Gad refugees pouring into Jill in a short period of time.

Pu Xiuna's face sank, "If most of these Ged people are not returnees, I would like to ask, where did the millions of Ged people who lived in Gil go missing? Are the rumors about mass graves true? of?"

The Sonia committee members were silent.

Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, everything should be based on the law. This is not something that our committee can exceptionally allow. This part of the Gade people will not have the right to vote in Jill's election, but we can issue a memorandum , the committee supports the repeal of all discriminatory acts that prohibit the free movement of the Quedes."

After listening to General Bit's words, the Sonia committee members nodded in agreement.

Although General Bit has been helping the Gaeders, it is naturally because of international pressure. After all, he is a compatriot of his own race and will be the protector of the interests of the Sonia in the region in the future.

Sure enough, on this issue, I supported myself and others. As for the memorandum and the like, it is also a show and will not have legal effect.

Park Xiuna took a deep look at Lu Ming with a sullen face, "Let's vote. If the result of the committee's vote supports their right to vote, we should submit the result to the United Kingdom Parliament for a decision."

Lu Ming nodded: "Okay."

Both senior members and ordinary members voted for one person, one vote. However, there were ten senior members and 20 local members. Most of the local members voted against it. Among the senior members, there were Lu Ming, Babasha, and barrister Ryan. If you vote against it, the result of the vote is naturally that the Gaed people who entered the Gir region without the right to migrate do not have the right to vote in this constituency.

Seeing Erika's cute face who didn't even bother to look at her, Lu Ming felt amused.

In fact, from the Gill constituency, it doesn't make much sense to have more than [-] votes and less than [-] votes.

But when the general election in Gedde District comes, if the votes of millions of Gedde people can be twisted together, then it must not be underestimated.

"The following matters, discuss the division of constituencies." After the discussion of the memorandum, General Affairs Officer Mutorov announced.

The division of electoral districts is actually a very delicate matter. Although Mayor Gill is a true universal suffrage system, each voter has one vote. In the end, it depends on the absolute number of votes, and it has nothing to do with how the electoral districts are divided.

But the division of electoral districts is extremely important in the election of members. Later generations can use big data to arrange constituencies ingeniously in favor of a party group. For example, 2 voters, [-] red camps, [-] blue camps, divided into ten Constituencies, in theory, can be arranged for the blue camp to win most of the constituencies, just need to arrange slightly more blue camps in those constituencies, while the red camp has more than [-] voters who are completely concentrated in two constituencies, and the rest are scattered in the eight constituency.

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

However, in the general elections of later generations, many constituencies were fragmented. This is the reason. Different parties often hope to change the division of constituencies after they are in power. That is the ultimate reason.

As for the initial establishment of Jill's parliamentary constituency, it is not that troublesome. It is basically divided according to streets, terrain and so on.

The Gedes are definitely not worth the money. Almost all of their ethnic groups gather in the Queens District, and they can only get two congressional seats in the Queens District. The Queens District is divided into two constituencies, the Upper Queens District and the Lower Queens District.

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

After the constituency division was over, everyone had a quick working meal, and the next step was to review the candidatures of the mayor and councilors.

Under United Kingdom electoral law, anyone who is not an adult behind bars can enroll in local elections.

Even if you have a criminal record and are a serial murderer, as long as you have been released from prison, you can still participate in the election.

However, if you run for prime minister, there is an age limit, you must be over 30 years old, but the criminal record is also not an obstacle.

But although it was the first election, many people felt that there was a chance. In the end, there were not many candidates for mayor Jill who paid the deposit. After all, they need to pay a deposit for fair competition. This security deposit is non-refundable.

The same is true for member elections, if the percentage of votes cast in a constituency does not reach [-]%, the fair competition deposit will not be refunded either.

The deposit for running for mayor is 1 yuan, and the deposit for running for city councilor is 2000 yuan.

Seven people will run for mayor of Gill.

There are more than 200 people who signed up to run for councilors, running for 41 city councilor seats.

That is, almost five candidates elect one city councilor on average.

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

Of course, if you feel hopeless and withdraw from the election a month before voting, the deposit will still be refunded.

In this way, other candidates have a month to pull those loose votes, so that they will not be diverted by trouble.

However, the timing of Jill's general election is relatively short. Two months later, on February 968, 2, all the candidates for the city councilors will be voted on, and on March 25, the candidates for the mayor will be voted on.

The first mayor will be re-elected after two years of office, the second term will be four years, and city councilors will be elected every four years.

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

Under the balance of power, the mid-term elections of council members can be regarded as a weather vane. If the councilors who support the mayor lose the election, it can be known that the mayor is unpopular.
