It's all one flower.
1744. Non-majority vote
"We all come up with a lot of ideas and we make important decisions, so if we talk about it properly, we might be able to adjust our interests and systems so that there are as few people in need as possible."
Suddenly a difficult story struck, Leno didn't speak, but his best friend's father, Padorik, taught him instead.
Tis returns to Padolik.
"Because I can't decide with just one person's thoughts, so if I do that, I might notice someone who is in trouble like this first?"
"Politicians... people of various attributes can be easily noticed.It's good for the people on land, but the people on the lake are in trouble, the people with power are good, but the people without power are in great trouble, and vice versa, but I don't know the details of people who are different from me. "
Kak Sidi and the priest looked around the round table.
Mobile broadcaster Praetelmisa has exactly that "person of various attributes".
Amana also asked her father Padolik.
So, if everyone talks and decides, will everyone be happy?
"What do you think? It's impossible to fully fulfill the wishes of everyone."
"Why?"
The questions of the two girls overlap.
"For example, landfilling dry lagoons into farmland makes farmers and vegetable-lovers happy and prevents water damage, but fishermen and fish lovers are not happy because the fishing grounds have become narrow, right?"
"Ah... if you fulfill one of these wishes, there's a trick that you can't fulfill others' wishes."
"The trick is that if people from different positions discuss it, they can go ahead and make it feel good so that no one gets in trouble?Stop landfilling and increase the number of fields in other ways? "
Amana nods and Tis says her thoughts.
When did you come to think like this?
Unlike Leno, who just listened, I kept thinking and listening, so I asked a question.
Leno realized for the first time that Tis, who had been an elementary school student until a short while ago, could think of such a difficult trick.
I feel that my sister's side has suddenly gone far away.
My feelings as a brother and the impatience of being left behind narrowed my throat.
"Ideally, that would be the case.For example, it might be easier to adjust if we focus on water damage prevention and the common good. "
"Well, it's the reality that doesn't bother you well."
Padollik lay down his eyes in the shower, and Lazornik exhaled in a big sigh.
"The country chose to maintain democracy, but not if it was adequately educated."
Captain Sornyak gazed at Pina, Tis, Amana, and the boy soldier Morph.
Four are of middle and high school age, but nearly two years of war prevents them from getting a proper education.It was good to have all the textbooks in a used bookstore, but I can only learn by myself.
"Some of our generation, who were children in times of civil unrest, did not have even minimal education in some areas, nor were they satisfied with reading and writing."
Morph nodded at the captain's faint voice.
"Those who reached the age of majority at the time of the founding of the Republic of Nemorales lost their educational opportunities due to civil unrest and were suddenly thrown into a new society without being compensated for."
"If you are a powerful people, you have to memorize all the spells, you have to read the Magic Book, and you don't know how it works. [Light], [Enchantment], some people say you can only use minimal magic."
"Hmm? People who can use magic can read powerful words."
Leno was suspicious of the words that Agoni, the funeral parlor, had spilled from afar.
"Just hearing it in your ear will do that."
Razornik nods as a matter of course, Sheraton owner Kaku Sidi opens his green eyes.Agoni squeezed her shoulders.
"If I can't read, I can't go to the library and study for myself."
"What? Elementary school for adults?"
"Boy, why do you think there's such a monkey?"
Morph turned his voice upside down and Medvede stunned and smiled bitterly.
"When you make monkeys like that, you have to work to eat them, right?"
"Ah, I see...."
The boy soldier, who knew the hardship better than anyone, held his head.
"Adults who are illiterate also lack understanding of the electoral system.There is a special radio set up for each election, and there is explanation of the system, reading of the election bulletin, and the candidate's own speech, but there is an environment where you can concentrate and listen, and how many people can make a judgment based on an accurate understanding of the content of the convention. "
Leno never thought about it until Captain Sornyak pointed out the flaws.
Kaku Sidi stares at the center of the round table with his thoughtful face.
Immediately after the war, Leno was still nineteen years old and had no right to vote.
I am not very good at studying at school and my grades in modern society are close to graduation.My parents went to a proper poll every time, but I never asked what criteria they chose.
"After all, I left high school, but I learned how to vote... how to go to the polling station, vote before the deadline, and so on, but I didn't learn how to listen to where the speech is, how to decide what to vote for, and what kind of person to vote for.If there's an election right now, I... I don't know what to do. "
"Without proper knowledge, you tend to think it's just a majority vote."
Eh? Is that so?
The DJ Rafe laughed bitterly, and Leno and Tis were all surprised.
"At the special election, I told you about the adjustment of the votes of the people on land and the people on the lake, and the percentage of seats, but let's take a look at it again."
Jorch, the national announcer, smiled, but explained in his usual voice.
The city of Zerneau on the island of Nenea, where Lenore was born and raised, is close to the border with the Kingdom of Lacrimalis, with a relatively large number of powerless people on land, but about 70% of the population of the Republic of Nemoralis as a whole are lake people.
A simple majority vote disadvantages people on land with small populations.
With or without magic, Congress and local councils were allotted half seats for the people of the land and half seats for the people of the lake.One of the land seats in the National Assembly is filled by elected members of the Listver Autonomous Community.
In local councils, the number of seats or points with one vote is adjusted according to the population ratio of the inhabitants.
"Resolutions, such as bills, are also debated in a number of ways, including whether certain attributes are unfavourable, whether human rights violations do not occur, whether only certain attributes benefit, whether they are combined with budgets, and whether they are consistent with existing laws."
It's true in front of the building, but it's not true in reality.
"What happened to reality?"
Razornik said, the question flew from Morph with a resounding momentum.
"For example, in regions with large numbers of elderly people, it is easy for candidates who have made a commitment in favour of the elderly to be elected, and if the convention is passed as a formal ordinance, it will require taxes and effort to realize it, and the burden on the active generation will increase."
"Hey old people, permanent race can qualify for the National Old Age Basic Pension at age 70, but long-term race is over 600, and the amount is half that of permanent race.Young monks of the long-lived race often feel unfair around them. "
Razornik said, and the funeral parlor Agoni said.I heard you saw something at work.
... when Awellana became a grandmother, was it a pension scheme?
Leno did not think so, but saw a long-lived race that had just turned sixty.When I met him, he looked just like Pina, a junior high school student, but now he looks older.
"With or without life expectancy, magic, faith, etc., we still can't achieve full equality, but if we can all understand the way elections and democracy work, can we achieve such equality?"
The green-haired pharmacist Awellana did not mention the pension and went back.
