Chapter 1772 Voting
There are actually multiple candidates for the position of Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee. Since it is a "candidate", it must go through the process of election.

This is to reflect the principle of fairness and justice in the federal political ecology. Everyone is elected through elections, but what will happen before the election and what will happen after the election.

Even what happens during the breaks in the election process, no one discusses it.

Everyone has the right to express their ideas at any time and on any occasion. This is the basic law written into the Charter.

Even the federal president can't shut up a person at a certain time or on a specific occasion with his privileges!

So during the break, everyone can canvass votes directly.

This is both a phenomenon and a tradition in the federal political ecology.

For example, in the Capitol, when there are important bills to be voted on, there is a break between the first and second votes, and a break between the second and third votes.

Those congressmen will run around. They are definitely not sitting for a long time and want to exercise, but to canvass votes.

Dynamic canvassing, promising benefits, and attracting more people may also involve some political means and the like.

At the same time, this also tells people why when Congress votes, it will vote several times until most people agree, or disagree, or postpone the vote beyond the number of votes!

Each person will always change his previous decision after receiving different external "stimuli" in each time period.

This is the most dramatic and distinctive scene in the federal political ecology!
Maybe your ally stood firmly by your side in the last bidding, but in the next voting, you thought he would still be your strong backing, but he directly stabbed you in the back!

This also gave the Federation a phrase——

"As long as you haven't swallowed the cake in your mouth, you may spit it out at any time!"

It very vividly shows the complex and contradictory political ecological environment. Everyone may be an ally, but a friend may also be an enemy. Perhaps this is the highest embodiment of business affairs!

Senator Langdon came to the office building early. This time there were three candidates, all of whom had high prestige in the Progressive Party.

The next Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee will be born from these three people.

He looked at the three people, but what he thought of was the selection of party leaders in the past two years. Perhaps since then, Mr. Delphi has already started to pave the way for his successor.

He sent the person who was most likely to become the chairman of the committee to the position of party leader in advance, and then asked his heir to choose one of the other two less powerful candidates.

A series of exchanges of political interests made today's vote look like a process. Everything is so fair and just, but is it really like that?
Senator Langdon's gaze was no longer the same as in the past, where he would only stay in the superficial place. He stared at the entire venue, staring at these party representatives walking back and forth.

These people, they are not representatives, they are not senators, but to some extent, they are more important to the future direction of this country than the members of Congress!

They are the ones who decide the future!
Senator Langdon walked down the steps, and Mr. Delphi's successor walked over.

He looks very young, maybe only about 35 years old, but in fact he is 47 years old.

Confederate men, especially wealthy men, had a hard time judging their actual age from their physical appearance, men tended to look older when they were younger.

But after reaching middle age, the state and appearance of middle age will be maintained for a long time.

This guy's name is Gladstone, his grandfather used to be the governor, and was later assassinated because of some problems——

The old man was a ruthless character. At that time, there was an "indigenous revival trend" in the society. Some aboriginal people living in the reserve became richer because of the policy.

Aboriginal people with money think they should not live in the reserve and want more freedom and power.

But this is obviously impossible. Everyone knows that the federalists almost killed these aborigines to extinction, and in the end had to establish multiple protected areas to protect the sparsely populated aborigines.

Giving them more power now is tantamount to putting a loaded gun into their hands with the muzzle pointed at their heart.

At that time, Gladstone's grandfather was terrible. He "suppressed bandits" many times in his jurisdiction. It is said that more than 5 horse bandits were killed. For a time, there were almost no aborigines living in the protected area. It is said that they They were all murdered by horse bandits and robbers!
Although some people claimed that he had set off ethnic cleansing again in the process, the federal government then sent an investigation team to investigate these rumors and finally determined that it was just a rumor.

All the people who were killed were bandits and bandits, and there were no natives at all.

As for why the aborigines became so rare, didn't the newspapers say that?

Because the aborigines became rich, many bandits and horse bandits from all over the place frequently attacked the aborigines in the protected area, causing many deaths and injuries...

Since this incident, there have been some bandits and horse bandits attacking protected areas all over the country, and they were quickly suppressed.

Since then, the natives have stopped talking about wanting more power, and getting out of the reserve.

His grandfather was assassinated and did not die, but was so badly wounded that he had to leave politics.

Gladstone's father inherited his grandfather's political capital and connections, plus he was a lucky person, who succeeded in two political speculations and married a lady from another political family.

Add to that the wealth that his father had bequeathed to him—lots of gold, jewels, cash, antiques, stocks, all in all a very handsome sum.

Some people said that the money was collected when he slaughtered the aborigines, but their family never admitted this, saying it was the wealth of the family for generations.

As for why they have so much wealth, but the previous generations did not live well, they did not answer directly.

In addition to these, he also has some contacts with the military. When the old governor wiped out the bandits and horse bandits, the army also contributed a lot.

Wealth, power, and marriage have all made Gladstone's family stronger than ever.

When he arrived in Gladstone, he graduated with honors from the Holy Harmony College and became a full member of the Holy Harmony.

Then through the city speaker, the mayor, the state congressman, the member of the House of Representatives, and then the governor. After two terms of governor, he returned to Congress and participated in federal politics as a senator until today!

In fact, with his qualifications, it is not a big problem to elect a president.

But he hopes to become the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee, at least the chairman can be re-elected until he is too old to work, instead of leaving after eight years of work.

And there are gossip rumors that his wife's family has some blood relationship with Mr. Delphi!
This kind of person who stood at the end of the runway from birth is indeed enviable, but then again, this is the result of the hard work of his grandfather and father.

People who complain about unfairness should not think about how unfair the world is to them, but what their own grandfather and father were doing back then!
All in all, his win rate is high.

The handshake between the two attracted some attention. Senator Langdon has gradually gained a firm foothold in Congress and has his own small influence, so he can be regarded as a figure.

Those who can get to this point without falling, basically won't have any problems in a short period of time.

Whether others like him or not, they have to admit his success!
In the Commonwealth, as long as you are brilliant enough, people will respect you regardless of whether the light on your body is your own or stolen!

The two shook hands and didn't say anything else, everything was silent.

Senator Langdon walked to his seat, the second row near the middle.

The first row is full of high-level members of the party, such as leaders, party whips, high-level committee members, and some very heavyweight senators.

Some of these people only have positions in the party, but as I said before, although they have no "public office", their influence on the Progressive Party, Congress, and even the Federation is no less than that of senators!
Sitting in the second row by myself is very suitable!
At this time, there were still people entering the arena, everyone was greeting each other, and some people were sitting together, bowing their heads and biting their ears.

People from the "Langdon Gang" came over to say hello to Senator Langdon and unify their opinions by the way.

The more stable his position in Congress, the more respectful these people will be towards him.

Just at this moment, they are not following the opinions of Mr. Delphi, not the opinions of other high-level committees, but the opinions of Senator Langdon.

As time slowly passed, the meeting began.

At this time, the office building of the Progressive Party Committee was crowded with reporters, and the regional police station dispatched many mounted policemen to take care of traffic and maintain order.

All the media and the middle class are paying attention to this matter, they are eager to know who the next Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee is!

Sometimes a new leader will bring not only innovation, but also the abandonment and modification of some past policies.

In the conference hall, they quickly dealt with some simple matters before starting the formal voting.

For a secret ballot, everyone has an envelope in front of them containing a card with the names of the three candidates and the choice to abstain.

Choose one of the four, check it and put the card back, and then someone will collect it.

This kind of voting is different from proposal voting. Proposal voting is a live vote. You can have different opinions from others, but you also have to give others a chance to know why you disagree.

Recognition is different from non-proposal voting. It does not need to show your identity. Of course, if you want others to know how different you are, it is not impossible!

Soon, the first round of counting begins...
