In fact, although many travelers are interested in participating in the election of legislators, after signing up in high spirits, they find that they can shout a few words of "freedom" and "democracy" Some people remember that people who are interested in running for parliament abroad will go around publicizing and making speeches to attract voters to vote for themselves, but first, they can't pull down this face, and secondly, they really don't know what to say about what to say to attract others to vote for themselves, so basically no one uses this kind of propaganda.

Of course, there are some nimble people who have come up with some ways to canvass for votes, such as inviting guests to dinner, pulling off the guan, setting almost, etc., but with these means, they can only pull 2 or 30 people at most, firstly, most of the traversers themselves have limited scope of communication, and secondly, their own financial resources are limited, and now the types of goods that the traversal group can provide are also very limited.

On the whole, the crossing group is still implementing a highly planned economic system, and the most basic food and clothing for each traverser is basically provided by the collective, but it is deducted from each person's work volume, forming a cycle of commodity trading in theory. Of course, it can also provide a certain selection of goods, although by the standards of this era, the goods available to the traveler are quite abundant, but compared to the old time and space, it is not even as good as Africa.

At present, the most developed area under the rule is of course Tianjin, but the number of goods that can be provided is not much, just like the most common food, clothing, housing and transportation in daily life, of course, it is needless to say that there are few clothing styles to choose from, basically there are only a few kinds of back-and-forth, and most of the clothes are just the difference between color and pattern, which can be counted with only two hands.

It was only after the occupation of Tianjin by the Crossing Group that textile factories and garment factories were opened, and the variety of styles and types of clothes increased, which was enough to count with only one hand. In fact, in China in this era, even if it is the most economically developed region, the main source of clothes is customized, rich people can of course find a special tailor tailor-made, and poor families can only rely on their own wives and daughters or mothers to make, so whether they can make clothes, is one of the important indicators to measure whether a woman is beautiful or not, and the shops that sell ready-to-wear are often only a few in big cities, and most of them are old clothes. The colorful costumes in the film and television dramas of the old time and space are actually imitated by modern society.

The types of food are more than clothes, the types of formal dishes have approached more than eighty percent of the old time and space, and the eight traditional cuisines have basically formed their own systems, and some traditional non-staple foods such as various pastries, fruits, melon seeds and peanuts are available, but in the old time and space, melon seeds alone have more than ten kinds of original flavor, spiced, cream, caramel, tea flavor, etc., not to mention others, so it is still far from comparable, and drinks are almost all other except tea.

This is only the necessities of life, and the non-necessities are even more scarce, so even if you have money, you can't buy the goods you need.

After the constituencies are demarcated, the number of people in each constituency is about 100, and only 2 or 30 people are pulled, so there is no guarantee that they will be elected, and there is no guarantee that these 2 or 30 people will vote for themselves, because the vote is by secret ballot.

In addition, there are a considerable number of traversers who are not interested in running for parliamentarians, because now a considerable part of the traversers have obtained a considerable status, in addition to government agencies, now the traversal group has opened more than 20 factories and enterprises, although most of the enterprises are not large, but also produced a group of senior factory enterprise managers, and with the expansion and development of the traversal group, the scale of these factories and enterprises will definitely be further expanded, in addition to the traversal group will continue to invest, open more factories, enterprises, so that the staff of the factories and enterprises will be at least in charge of a regional factory in the future, not to mention the staff of the government agencies, and with the control of Shandong, the number of administrative personnel required will be greatly increased, and the worst in the future will be the level of the county magistrate, and although the councillor is also a very important position, it is far less attractive to them.

In fact, the most enthusiastic about running for parliamentarians are not those who talk about "freedom" and "democracy" all the time, but the 17 departments under the original Ministry of Administration, which have now formed a considerable scale, with some departments having more than 100 staff members, and some departments also have 4. No. 50, because the electoral divisions are divided by departmental work, so each department is divided into a separate constituency, and each department also has a time to discuss and send people to run for parliament, so as to ensure that in the future parliament, there is a voice of its own department, and at the same time, there is enough bargaining chips when exchanging interests with other departments.

Of course, there were a few people who wanted to run for the presidency of the government, but they didn't even have 100 supporters, so they had to give up.

After 10 days of preparation, voting for the election of the President of the Government and the Parliament officially began, and the polling locations in the electoral districts were divided into three places, Tianjin, Beijing and Qingdao, for two days, so that some of the travelers stationed abroad could rush to their own electoral districts to cast their ballots. The results of the votes of the members of the Legislature are publicly counted in each electoral district and the results of the vote are publicized for one day, while the vote of the Chairman of the Government is collected from the ballot boxes of the various electoral districts in Tianjin, and then the ballots are counted and the results are announced for one day.

In the end, in terms of leaders, Xia Bohai was elected chairman of the government with a high vote rate of 8 percent, and at the same time, 112 parliamentarians were also elected together, and Qin Zheng was easily elected as a parliamentarian.

After the election, all the members of the parliament met in Tianjin, officially took office, and the chairman of the parliament, There are also 16 members of the election, according to the rules, if you want to run for the speaker, you need to get 10 members of the joint nomination, each candidate can get 20 minutes of speech and Q&A time, and then all the members vote, a total of two rounds of voting, if in the first round of voting, someone gets more than half of the votes, you can be directly elected, if there is no more than half of the votes, then the top two candidates will conduct a second round of voting to determine the final elected.

As for the election members, they need to be jointly nominated by 5 members, and then all members vote, and the voting will only be held once, and the first 16 candidates will be elected members. If the number of co-nominees is less than 16, the remaining members will be designated directly by the Chairperson.

In the end, Qin Zheng received 77 votes from 112 parliamentarians in the first round of surrender, and was elected as the speaker with an absolute majority, and the remaining 16 members were also elected, so that the organizational structure of the parliament was also perfect, and the bill could be discussed.

However, Xia Bohai has not yet officially taken office, but is considering the nomination of the executive team of the new government, so there is no bill to discuss in the parliament for the time being, but it is just a good time to use this time to improve the rules of the parliament.

First of all, the official name of the parliament should be clarified, and the alternative names such as parliament, parliament, legislative yuan, people's congress, The Senate and other members have supporters, and the members of the House of Representatives have also spoken very actively, expounding their reasons, and at the same time not forgetting to depreciate other names; the name of the parliament is too ordinary; the parliament has not yet been formally established and cannot be used; the legislative yuan appears to be too low-grade, and in the old time and space, only the Republic of China and Taiwan use this name, which is too unlucky; the people's congress is not worthy of the name because the current parliament cannot represent the entire people; and the senate is too retro, and as a result, the members of the parliament are fighting each other and quarrelling, and it is almost impossible to get along; if Qin Zheng and the 16 committee members do not stop it at the very moment, it is estimated that the quarrel will be endless。

Of course, the final result is still determined by voting, and the Senate received 41 votes, the most votes among all the names, although the name has a retro taste, but considering that after the official establishment of the country, all the time-travelers are naturally the country's veterans, so this name is also appropriate, which is why most of the time-travelers chose this name, in addition, according to the system determined by the previous enlarged meeting of the Executive Committee, after the formal establishment of the state, it can also be discussed in the name of the Senate, merged into the national election of the Great Council, forming an independent body similar to the existence of the Senate。

In any case, the result of the vote has been confirmed, and even those who do not like the name can only accept it, so the final official name is agreed to be the Senate of the East China Government, or the Senate or Senate for short.

The Senate will be elected once every three years, the electoral divisions will be readjusted 30 days before each election, all members, members, and speakers may be re-elected indefinitely, the Senate may use local staff members, but non-members of the House of Representatives are not allowed to enter the meeting hall during deliberations, and the scope of responsibilities and powers of the Speaker and members, etc.

The Speaker's responsibilities and powers are mainly in five areas:

The first is to convene and preside over the meeting of the whole house, vote on the bills and announce the voting results, suspend or resume the meeting and adjourn the meeting;

The second is to review whether the wording and content of the legislators' motions comply with the rules of procedure, and for motions that do not comply with the rules, they can suggest amendments or directly prohibit discussion;

The third is to decide whether what happened in the meeting room is in accordance with the rules of procedure, and if the speaker finds that the member's speech deviates from the agenda, the speaker may rule that the speech is off topic and terminate the speech. In addition, the Speaker may also rule that a Member's words are "offensive" and require the Member to retract his speech and apologize if he or she uses inappropriate language in his speech.

Fourth, to maintain the order of the meeting, the speaker of the parliament may expel the member who does not respect the discipline of the parliament in accordance with the rules of the parliament, so as to maintain the orderly progress of the meeting, and the speaker also has the right to prevent the member from speaking when he or she uses filibuster, boycott and other means in an attempt to achieve the goal of paralyzing the proceedings;

Fifth, in order to maintain the principle of objectivity and neutrality, the speaker is not allowed to debate and speak on the bill, and is not allowed to ask questions about the speakers, and when voting by show of hands, the speaker is the last to express his own position, so as not to trigger the decisions of other members.

The scope of the duties and powers of the members is mainly to assist the Speaker in his work, including the counting of votes, and may make proposals to the Speaker to terminate the speeches of members or expel members from the meeting, and may forcibly expel members who refuse to leave the meeting.
