Rise of Australia

Chapter 163 Elections Act, Political Parties Act

On April 1903, 4, a piece of news from the Australian government completely detonated the entire Australian political arena.

Political parties have been largely unspoken in Australia since its founding, and their legitimacy has never been established.

As a result, most of Australia's elections are participated in personal capacity, and the power of political parties has basically disappeared.

But with the announcement of the Australian government's announcement on elections and political parties, the word political party once again entered everyone's attention.

According to the new regulations of the Australian government, political parties will be officially included in the scope of legal elections in Australia from now on, that is to say, Australia officially recognizes the legitimacy of political parties.

But there is also a point that a political party must be approved by the House of Lords before it can be established and must be supervised by the House of Lords.

Once it is found that a political party has engaged in malpractice or violated the law in the election, the House of Lords has the right to punish the political party, even report to Arthur, directly declare the political party illegal, and force a certain political party to disband.

The reason for agreeing that political parties are legal is because European political parties are already very common and well-recognized, Australia, which has a large number of European immigrants, is naturally not exempt, and political parties are also one of the needs of many Australians.

However, on the premise of giving citizens the right to legally participate in political parties and government affairs, Arthur also reserved the last card, that is, political parties are supervised by the House of Lords and must be reviewed by the House of Lords before they can be formally established and become an Australian legal institution. political party.

The election of the House of Lords is basically in the hands of Arthur. Except for the current cabinet members, the other members of the House of Lords are nominated and appointed by Arthur.

Moreover, cabinet members will eventually need to be reviewed by Arthur and the House of Lords before they can be successfully appointed.

By controlling the House of Lords, Arthur actually controlled the lifeblood of the political party, and was not worried that the political party would have a subversive impact on Australia's political situation.

The legalization of political parties has greatly changed the current situation in the Australian political arena, and it has also made one party ecstatic, that is, the Australian Labor Party, which has been established for more than ten years.

The establishment of the Australian Labor Party can even be traced back to the Australian colonial period. It is a party united by workers. Its purpose at the beginning was to promote the unity of Australia. Now it has evolved into the formation of trade unions to protect the interests of workers.

The Australian Labor Party is a party established since the colonial period, but because of the successful establishment of the Principality of Australia, the Australian Labor Party disappeared for a period of time and disappeared from the Australian political arena.

People didn't even dare to claim that they were from the Australian Labor Party. Before Arthur declared the party legal, any party would be hostile to Arthur's fanatical Australians.

Now because of the influx of immigrants into Australia, political parties have to be legalized and given the right to participate in elections.

This led to the previously established Australian Labor Party also seeing the hope of entering the Australian political arena. After all, in terms of elections, the advantages of political parties are far greater than individuals.

Arthur is not surprised by this, nor is he opposed to the fact that Australians join various political parties.

However, it is also necessary to add restrictions to political parties. In addition to the fact that political parties must be reviewed and supervised by the House of Lords, corruption, bribery, political donations, and other incidents of favoritism and fraud are not allowed in any election.

In order to put an end to the collusion between political parties and capitalists that has generally occurred in European countries, Australia even introduced election laws and political party laws for this purpose. No political party is allowed to accept political donations without permission, otherwise it is tantamount to fraud in elections.

This law is actually protecting the interests of small political parties and the poor.In the election of a certain world police in later generations, those who can hold large-scale canvassing speeches across the country are often politicians with the support of many capitalists behind them.

Politicians without the support of capitalists don't even have the funds to support a speech and can't use speeches to canvass for themselves. Who would know these poor politicians with ambitions?

Such an election directly confronts the rich and the poor with two situations. The rich have inherent advantages, so they can naturally talk about it.

The poor need to spend a lot of money even to hold a speech, and there are not many people who can really stick to the end of the election.

In a so-called free and democratic country, most of the people who can participate in elections are capitalists with a small surplus of money, or puppets pushed up by capitalists.

Whether it is the House of Commons or cabinet officials, Arthur absolutely does not allow capitalists to intervene wantonly.

The royal family can indeed give up some power to the people, but the people refer to all ordinary people in Australia, not capitalists.

There is only one way for Australian political parties to obtain funds for their activities, and that is to call on their supporters to donate to the electoral federation established and supervised by the House of Commons. %.

The remaining 30.00% will be evenly distributed to all legal parties registered in Australia, so that all political parties, big and small, can taste the sweetness, so that they will not have a little development funds.

The amount of funds that political parties can get depends on the proportion of seats in the House of Commons, which depends on the real talents of party members to fight and campaign.

Because the members of the election federation are composed of the royal family, the cabinet government, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons, and are ultimately responsible to the royal family and supervised by the House of Commons, this is currently the most reassuring way for people.

After all, it is jointly supervised by the three most powerful departments in Australia and the royal family, which has prevented corruption and injustice to the greatest extent.

In order to show the royal family's support for political parties and fair elections, the royal family made a special statement that it will donate [-] pounds to the election federation every year to support all political parties and people who participate in political parties.

This move also allowed the royal family to gain the fanatical support of the only political party in Australia, the Australian Labor Party, and also promoted the development of Australian political parties in disguise.

According to the statistics of the House of Lords, since the April announcement on the legality of political parties and the promulgation of the Election Law and the Political Party Law, the House of Lords has reviewed nearly [-] applications for the establishment of political parties in just over two months.

Although more than half of the applications for political parties were not approved, the reason was that the programs and goals they established were not beneficial to the people's livelihood and development in Australia, and it was even just a whimsy at certain times that made some people have the impulse to form a political party.
