"Oh, I don't think that's going to be difficult."You just keep holding a certain number at all times, right?
"That's right, but it's a lot easier said than done, Kyle."I couldn't think of any way to do that, so I talked to him. "
”Ahahah. Fine, I'll tell you.That said, I've never had a congress before, so just ask me for reference, Alphonse. "
Continue to make the Barca Party the first party in Congress.
I was wondering if there was such a method, but I didn't think of much of it.
So I decided to ask people for their opinions.
It was Kyle I talked to this time.
Through Eye, he explains the situation to Kyle's brother, who is far beyond the Great Snow Mountains.
There is a parliament in the Orient, the home of the Grands, and I told that parliament that I succeeded in sending Aye to take the chair.
And as soon as I thought about what else to do to keep the faction going, Kyle told me that he could teach me something as simple as that.
I knew it, Kyle-san.
It seems that my thoughts came to me as soon as I heard the story.
"Members of parliament chosen by the people classified as first-class citizens living in the city determine the policy of the country.The deputies for this purpose are re-elected every time for a certain period of time.How can we remain in the majority in such a parliamentary system? "
“That's right. What should I do?”
It's easy. Especially if you're in a situation where you can make a newcomer's eye the chairman like you are now.I guess Alphonse was a little too serious.If you change your mind, I think this answer will come out soon. "
Change your mind?
'Yes, I suppose Alphonse is just wondering how to keep the majority in the current parliament.Instead, we need to figure out how we can keep ourselves in the majority.In other words, it would be good to become a majority within the current parliamentary system, but it would change the very mechanism of the parliament so that it could become a majority. "
"... to change the way Parliament works? Well, what do you mean?I don't know. "
That's right. Now, let me give you a specific answer.If it's an extreme case, you can do it like this.Is it possible that only the followers of the Barca Church who are members of the Mutual Aid Society can run as members of the Council of the Orient?In this case, everyone who becomes a member of the parliament will become a member of the Barca Party, so they will always be in the majority. ”
Huh?
What the hell is that?
That's how we're going to change the way the council works.
I thought you might change the number of councillors, change the length of their tenure, or even create a new position.
But what if Kyle were to say that the candidate would have a choice?
If that happens, the Vulcan Party will no longer exist outside of the Vulcan Party, rather than maintaining a majority at all times.
In fact, there is already a provision for those who can stand for election.
This is because at the moment it is required to be a first-class citizen.
In other words, it is a story that can be realized by changing the provision a little.
"No, but it's impossible, isn't it?"Such a fundamental change will definitely lead to a lot of objections.All the other members of Congress, except the Barca Party, will be opposed to such a change of policy because of how much Eye would have chaired it. ”
I know, that's why I told you that was an extreme example.
"Hmm. That means it's a little more difficult to raise objections and it's easier to change the way things work as they are, but do you have to find a way to become a majority?" It's difficult after all. "
'I see? Maybe I can.I mean, Alphonse already has an organizational vote for the Barca Church, right?Then you can create an electoral system that will make it work to the fullest.From what I've heard, it looks like you're picking members from across a heavily populated city state, so maybe you can think of a way to divide your constituencies.You just need to change the maximum number of seats you can expect to get. "
Kyle's brother is hard to say.
But then I asked Kyle and Ai for more details, and somehow I understood.
Institutional changes.
Now, the entire city is elected as one divider, and members are selected from those who obtain the most votes to those who become the prescribed number of councillors.
How about dividing this into several constituencies in the city?
Create a constituency that works in our favor by counting the number of votes obtained from organizational votes backwards, and reserve seats.
In fact, it seems that this idea is not unique to Kyle's brother, but is based on an idea he has heard from Alus.
When Brother Kyle first acquired his territory and suddenly ruled on unknown lands, he consulted with Brother Arthur and talked about congressionalism.
Even if this method existed, he was talking about how to create a parliament and govern with a chosen person.
At that time, he said that he had also said the disadvantages of the method.
He said that depending on the election system, the majority can always be maintained even if the overall turnout is about 20%.
Why would Brother Arth know that?
Speaking of which, I remembered that Ai said that the idea of a political party itself was originated from Brother Ars.
There are no councils in the kingdom of Fontana or the kingdom of heaven, but there is no parliament that selects its members in elections.
Well, I could have asked you anything.
As a first example, the conditions for standing for election are often opposed, but it may be possible to allocate electoral districts.
It is not immediately clear what the impact of doing it will be, and some people may agree that they will work in their favor.
Maybe we should consider what's best for the Vulcan Party and put it on the agenda in Congress.
After hearing from Kyle's brother, I immediately discussed the zoning adjustments with Ai.
