Blackstone Code

Chapter 1658 A little short of ranking

Every minute and every second here, there are various variables.

Capital, politics, there are no honest people and there will be no honest people!

Everyone will say "hello" to you on the surface, but what they think inside, you never know!

Maybe they are coming for real.

Maybe they are coming for real!

After some extremely boring content was quickly ended, under the auspices of the Speaker, the entire Congress began to nominate the twenty-four-member list.

Senator Landon was given a nomination form that any member of Congress could fill out.

There are eighteen nominations for Senators and six nominations for House of Representatives. You can fill in all of them or leave some blank.

He took the pen and looked at the people around him, some people sensed his gaze and smiled and nodded to him.

More, they are filling out this form with their heads down.

His heartbeat was a little violent, and after hesitating for a while, he filled in his name and the members of his small faction.

Soon someone took his form.

In the process of counting, there will be about ten minutes of rest time, he quickly left his seat, walked to the small group members, and whispered to them.

Encouragement, motivation, and a faint warning of authority!

"We will succeed, no one can stop us!"

After encouraging some small group members, he returned to his place.

A few minutes later, a total of more than seventy members of Congress were nominated to become members of the Standing Committee, with overall responsibility for the rebuilding of Mariro.

In the Commonwealth, a member of Congress can sit on multiple committees, but no one takes on too many jobs, or conflicting jobs.

For example, the members of the Industrial Promotion Committee will not consider taking up positions on the committees related to competition and the environment, because of the conflicting content of their work.

If one is not handled well, the work on both sides will not be done well, and it will bring some bad comments to oneself.

At the same time, people will not find too many jobs for themselves. The membership status of the committee is not always the same. Once Congress thinks that a committee member can no longer handle the work at hand, it will launch a vote to cancel the membership status. Re-select.

The more important committee members are, the more they tend to focus on the work of a certain committee, not more.

From the candidates currently provided, a few have served as committee members, and some have not.

Senator Langdon himself is a member of the environment related committees. When he was a member of the House of Representatives, he ran around the country every day for the problem of chemical emissions!

If it wasn't for Lynch's backing to support him, he would have long since been used and thrown away!

After all, the issue of managing industrial emissions is a difficult decision in itself.

If he favors the civilian class, then there is no doubt that he will offend the capital class, because when he is on the side of the civilian population, his enemies are the big factories, the big capitalists.

But if he is on the side of the capitalist, he will lose the foundation of the people, and people will be dissatisfied with the ineffectiveness of his work.

This is a very interesting phenomenon in the Commonwealth. The upper echelons of society firmly hold everything that is closely related to the lives of the people. At the same time, the way they gain and maintain power depends to a certain extent on the people.

This leads them to cater to the people, at least on the surface.

The best in this regard is the President of the Federation.

They can always find topics that are very suitable for the interests of the people, and then cut into them to quickly gain the support of the people, thereby gaining a great support rate.

Congressman Landon, who also opted to get public opinion, hopes he can go further.

If it weren't for Lynch, Senator Landon would have been dead long ago when he was still in the House of Representatives.

If he manages to get the new job, he will lose the other job he has, which is also an improvement.

Next, there is a vote.

Everyone has to cast a secret ballot for everyone, and finally make a selection based on the ranking of the votes.

Of course, if anyone strongly opposes a certain person to take up this job, they can also stand up. This is the temple of freedom.

In a dreary, unpleasant process, Senator Langdon lit a cigarette.

Not only him, many people lit a cigarette at this time.

So far, the Federal Medical Group has found no evidence that smoking causes death.

This has nothing to do with the large annual cost of the tobacco group sponsoring the medical group, nor is there any evidence to prove any connection between them, it is just an isolated incident.

Coupled with the fact that most of the male-dominated society has a preference for smoking, there is no smoking ban in the federal government.

At least if there were, it would be hard to pass Congress.

For the gents of Congress, there's nothing more comfortable than lighting a cigarette when you're nervous!

The staff increased the ventilation rate in the hall so as not to allow a large amount of smoke to accumulate here.

Senator Langdon looked elsewhere, and he didn't actually feel like he was going to fall off the roster.

Senators, after all, are in the minority!

Moreover, the senators who meet the status quo and can directly start work are even a minority among the few.

The torment always seemed very long. He smoked one cigarette after another. It was not until more than half an hour later that the big list was counted and sent to the speaker.

He glanced down a few times, basically not beyond his judgment.

Since the work of the Reconstruction Committee is very important to the capitalists, the number of senators will be relatively large when it is constituted.

It's like those committees on budget appropriations, where the majority will always be senators, not representatives.

It's the same this time.

Eighteen people were selected for this list. After he confirmed it, people began to read it out.

The first to read were six members of the House of Representatives.

Here, their work is the equivalent of running errands.

It might be a bit demeaning to say that, but it's the truth.

Representatives are running errands in major committees, and their value is to reflect the dignity of senators!

But even so, the six congressmen who were selected for the big list showed an uncontrollable ecstasy.

It's true that their opinions don't matter much in the work of the committee, but they are members of the committee after all.

Sometimes what they need to do is not to decide the final result of something, but to pass some news to the big capitalists behind them in time.

Moreover, their ability to stand out from the crowd is also the effort of the capital behind them.

Next, is the list of senators.

Senator Langdon took a deep breath, lit another cigarette, and sat back, legs crossed.

One name after another was read out, until the last one, still without him, he was a little surprised.

Even if he can't compare to the top ten, can he still be inferior to the last eight?

It wasn't just him who was surprised, there were others as well.

There were soon requests to review the votes, which is what happens most often in Congress.

When some votes are not what some people want, they will feel that someone is cheating, and checking the votes is the usual method.

The results of the recount came out soon afterward. Since it is anonymous, no one knows who cast the vote, but everyone can see the number of votes under the nomination.

Senator Langdon was in twenty-seventh place, with nine others ahead of him, for a total of… nineteen votes.

He wanted to scold people, and it was obvious that there were traitors in their small group, and someone backstabbed him.

If he can get more than 25 votes, he can at least be in the top 20, which also means that some things are easier to operate.

His eyes swept across the people in the small group, and everyone behaved like him, full of shock!

No wonder people always say that politicians don't necessarily need to master any superb political skills, as long as they can act.

And everyone here is more movie king than their politicians.

After confirming that no one had any doubts about the vote itself, the Speaker closed questions about the vote.

But this is not the end result, because everyone knows that they still have one last chance, a chance to trade, before announcing the roster of the Mariro Reconstruction Committee!

After coming out of the Capitol, Senator Langdon got into the car with a cold face. He can't find out who didn't vote for him now.

He can't find this person, and plain suspicion will make some things get out of control!

He had to discuss it with Lynch first.

When Lynch knew about this, it was already after the lunch break.

There is no need to say much about the value of the committee, no matter whether it is bidding or making a decision, if there is no one of its own in it, it will definitely not be able to compete with other capital forces.

This is like those private universities in the Commonwealth. Learning (bidding plans) is not the only criterion. Sometimes versatility (having one's own talents) is the key to winning.

Every year, some people enter various prestigious universities with sloppy grades because they can clean the table, cook, sing, tell jokes and other funny reasons.

And those students with good grades were directly rejected for "lack of social experience"~www.readwn.com~ This is not a joke, this is reality.

After listening to Senator Langdon's guess, Lynch calmly comforted him, "Don't worry too much, we still have some time, and during this time, we can do a lot of things."

"First of all, we have to talk to the people in front of us whether they are willing to reach some agreement with us."

"I always believe in one truth..."

"As long as the interests are the same, there is a possibility of compromise!"

"Go and contact those people in front of you first!"

"Look what they think."

After hanging up the phone, Lynch pouted. In fact, this result was not too unexpected. It could even be said that he had foreseen the failure of Senator Langdon!

From the very beginning, he knew that the establishment of the committee and the big list this time would not be so easy!
