It's all one flower.

1516. Analysis of the grounds for voting

An image was shown on the white wall.

This is the voter turnout graph for the Holma City Council election. The original was a newspaper clip, and Cruillo, sitting next to Amiella, made the article appear on his tablet device.

Light Party of Lake Water, Historic Great Defeat Holma Municipal Election

It is the Lyabina edition of the Lake Daily that spells mourning with such headlines.

Needle Amiella wondered why Lyabina's newspaper would be sorry to treat the election in the neighbouring town such a big deal.

"The Lake Water Daily was originally only an institutional paper of the Light Party of Lake Water, and you're familiar with boulders"

The leader of the two-wheeled Axis Party, Asakor, is impressed with the newspaper's physical appearance.

Amiella helped Farkill work on getting the multiplexer to read the newspaper, but didn't get a good look at the article. It just struck me with a few big headlines.

Birth of the People's Councillor of Holma Municipal First Land

Engagement and collaboration by the people of the land, to a new phase

I don't know what participation and collaboration refer to.

Something never happened before, so I guess something starts anew. Only vague perceptions were obtained from the headlines.

I'm only going to help Farkill, but for some reason, Senator Laqueus asked me to sit here. Looks like you should say something when you're at the meeting.

Amiella asked thoughtfully.

"This is as awesome a cot as replacing a wizard person with an autonomous district councillor...... what is it?

"Right. The city of Holma does not prohibit the residency of otherwise powerless land people. But, well, it's inconvenient, and it's dangerous when copper mixes with food, so it was somehow just a city for the people of the lake."

Councilman Krapifnik, from the city of Lyabina, nodded at the same blonde Amiela.

"But the compulsion to say evacuation from air raids worked, and there was also a massive influx of land people into Holma. Of these, only the weak with no other place to go have lived for the last two years."

"After two years, no wonder someone shows up to give up their return to their homeland and settle in full"

Amiella was convinced that she would complete the addition of Congressman Molcove.

"Then it's natural to try to make it easier to live in the city where you live right now."

"Uhm. Some have had the courage to petition the ancient senator of the people of the lake. But"

"Huh? How do you know I filed a complaint?

Rep. Laqueus affirmed, Farkill's question flew.

Old senators elected by the Autonomous Communities send their gaze, Asakor party leaders from both axes explain.

"All the candidates, at least one of them in the convention, included a proposal to support the powerless land people. The candidacy of the Light Party of Lake Water, which was particularly incumbent, is not an idealism, but, to a certain extent, a feasible and concrete proposal"

Farkill nodded with a convincing face, but Amiela didn't pin it.

"For many years the people of the lake have lived alone, and if they are also the people of the lake, they will not be able to imagine how the powerless people will have trouble in any case"

"Cotto said he heard the trouble from the powerless people in his petition and came up with a plan to solve it."

Senators Molcove and Lazolnik told me, and Amiela finally figured it out.

... Oh well. You're just like me when I was in the Autonomous Community, I couldn't imagine the life of someone who could use magic.

"Promoting the independence of the powerless people will reduce the burden on the people of the lake"

The leader of the Asakor party explained it in more detail.

If a powerless people can work, for that matter, the burden on the welfare budget will be reduced and, in turn, tax revenues will be raised. At the same time, their purchasing power increases.

For small cities with a population of about 40,000, more than 5,000 new residents, who are settling in, can be a fairly large market.

Holma City's financial base is poor. If we do not strike any hand as it stands and continue caricaturally feeding five thousand people who are incapable of work, we will soon be broke. Ning, it seems strange that he could have maintained it for two years.

Self-support measures for powerless people have long been of great interest to the people of the lake, both positively and negatively, due to the problem of burning eyebrows (soba).

Of course (of course), there is also a need to curb dissatisfaction from the low-income segments of the people of the lake.

Leaving behind the ancient inhabitants and supporting all the influxed and vulnerable creates an unprecedented quagmire.

During half a century of civil unrest, the citizens of Holma fought among the people of the lake.

Divided into followers of theocratic and republican preservatives, protagonists and goddesses, and other gods, they clashed violently.

The Theocratic Returnists took this opportunity to divide themselves into separatist independents who wanted to exclude the influence of the Lacrimalis royal family and the people of the land from the island of Nemoralis and coexistence who wanted the same joint rule as during the old kingdom, and the Republican Maintainers also divided themselves into passive positions that attached importance to the intentions of the Lacus Nenia homeowners and active positions that wanted to eliminate the influence of the old ruling class altogether.

They also subdivided each faction, complicating the conflict, that few moved entirely in one ideological creed and that it was harmonious, including faith.

Not just in the city of Holma, but during half a century of civil unrest, it's a sight played out everywhere.

Asakor party leaders, who worship Sturasi, the god of Iwayama, say they suffered elimination from the majority during the civil unrest.

"If you hit it badly, it could lead to a half century of civil unrest with a sense of injustice and jealousy that only those guys say cheats"

Even if the burden increases temporarily in the work support measures, the measures are effective and the work of the powerless people progresses, some are acceptable if they are to be restored to tax revenues and the local economy in the long run, others are even more dissatisfied in anticipation that they do not want to bear it for those who hate (say) the immediate burden increase in the near term or those who leave if they are at peace...

"Holma City voters are also varied, and a name that convinces everyone and doesn't damage anyone unfortunately doesn't exist"

The other politicians nodded deeply at the closing words of the Assacol party leader.
