Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 630 Joint Election

The statement issued by the Northern Lord's Palace that Perfect would not run for prime minister naturally caused quite a stir in the North.

After all, she is the Lord of the North, a truly powerful figure in today's empire. If she wants to become the Prime Minister of the empire, no one can stop her.

Even the royalists who wanted to push Princess Anne to the position of prime minister and set up a royal cabinet did not think they had the ability to stop Perfection from becoming prime minister.

What they hoped was that Princess Anne would return with a great victory after suppressing all the colonies, so that they could nominate her as the new candidate for prime minister and compete with Perfectoct with the prestige of the royal family and the princess herself.

In the eyes of some people, although Perfecto was talented and powerful, no one could stop her directly if she wanted to become the Prime Minister of the Empire.

But Perfecto also has a flaw that is not very obvious, but very serious in the eyes of some people, that is, she was too cruel to the nobles before, which made many people think that Perfecto's coming to power would affect their interests.

If Perfect continues to maintain this trend of suppressing everything, no one will say anything about her promotion to the top, because it is really unbeatable.

But if someone stands up and resists the pressure brought by Perfectcot, then those who are dissatisfied with her will stand up and support this person who resists the pressure from Perfectcot, and thus compete with her.

These royalists knew that they could not achieve anything great, but they also understood that as long as Princess Anne could confront Perfectocute, she would be able to gain enough support.

Even though she is a member of the royal family, even though she will become the empress of the empire in the future, all of this can be negotiated in the face of interests.

Now, Perfect has taken the initiative to announce that he will not run for prime minister, which undoubtedly gives many people confidence and makes them feel that there are new variables in this prime minister election.

After all, without Perfecto, a competitor who could suppress everyone, no party thought they were worse than anyone else.

Even if the North will put forward other candidates to represent the interests of the North and Perfectcot's will, the gap between Perfectcot herself and the person she nominates is huge.

It was so huge that in the eyes of others, the candidate nominated by the North might not have any chance of winning at all.

There are many people who can see this clearly, so all parties began to take small actions that are in line with their own interests.

Whether it was sending people to support Princess Anne's suppression of the colonies, or finding ways to build momentum for her, or even acting as an opposition to interfere, the North suddenly became extremely lively.

The forces supporting the Princess Royal are easy to understand, and those who oppose her also have their reasons. Without Perfectcot, the remaining Princess Anne has, in a sense, become the most favorable competitor for the position of Prime Minister.

As long as Princess Anne shows her intention to become Prime Minister, she will almost certainly win the position without Perfectcot as a competitor.

Unless a law is passed now prohibiting the royal family from running for prime minister or cabinet, if Perfecto does not run, it will require at least the unity of all the opposition to stop Princess Anne from returning with a great victory over the colonies.

However, the conflicts of interest and intrigues between the various factions made it seem unlikely that they would unite. Looking at the situation that had already begun to get chaotic before the election, Perfect felt that it was a very wise decision not to run.

However, unlike what others imagined, although Perfect did not prevent the Northern faction from nominating a new candidate for prime minister, she herself did not intend to support this candidate, but instead planned to push Kallen forward.

This time, the Workers' Union also won seats in the National Assembly and participated in imperial politics as a workers' representative.

Although this was a completely new experience for the workers, the elected workers' representatives still had some practical experience in governance due to their experience in building and managing the dominion over this period of time.

This also made them very interested in the election of the first prime minister of the empire.

If they could become the first Prime Minister of the Empire, would they be able to reform the country so that it would become closer to what they want it to be?
This ideal is so attractive and beautiful that everyone has a strong interest in it.

Even though they knew what difficulties they would face, everyone in the Dominion was full of enthusiasm for this because they felt that even if they failed this time, there would be a next time. After all, the election of the Imperial Prime Minister had a term limit.

If I fail this time, I will just take it as a chance to gain experience for the next election, and at the same time get familiar with the operating rules of the empire's political system.

Even Kallen, who was nominated to run for election, didn't think she had a chance of being elected.

However, after Perfect completed the draft law to improve workers' labor conditions, and it was put forward by the Northern Faction's candidate, an alliance was quickly formed between the Northern Faction and the Dominion Workers Faction, and the two sides quickly came up with a joint election model under Perfect's guidance.

The candidate from the Northern Faction will run for Prime Minister, and Kallen, as the candidate nominated by the Workers Faction, will serve as Deputy Prime Minister in the subsequent cabinet.

The political proposition put forward by both sides is the labor bill proposed by Perfecto, claiming that he will be committed to improving the treatment of workers after taking office.

This immediately won them a considerable degree of support. After all, candidates from other forces are still fighting for their own interests and have not put forward a complete policy program.

On the other hand, the North and the Dominion each have actual territories to support them, and these territories are real constituencies.

In addition, the working class itself is one of the largest groups in the empire. After gaining the support of this group, the joint election of the North and the Dominion has gained quite widespread support.

Even though the working class does not hold many votes in the National Assembly, the voice it can raise in society is unmatched by any other faction.

Especially for those factory owners and capitalists, they need the support of votes, but if their own constituencies do not support them, then let alone running for prime minister, even becoming a member of the National Assembly will be a problem.

You have to know that Perfecto pushed for the election of members of the National Assembly at the Royal Conference in order to gain the support of the general public. If one cannot gain sufficient support in the constituency where one comes from, there is no way to become a member of the National Assembly.
