Chapter 89, General Election II
After all, smart people like Charles who can see through the essence are still in the minority, and many still dream of a counterattack by the general election to lead Bulgaria back on the bright path of "freedom".
The Bulgarian Neo-Liberal Party is one of the leaders, and this new party, which was born out of the Liberal Party and basically inherits the majority of the Liberal Party.
Or rather, they were scolded by the people so badly that they were forced to change their vests, although most Bulgarians couldn't tell the difference between the two, they still scolded them.
The current party leader, Kaston Ivanlov, was originally Stam Bolov's rival in the party, and has been suppressed before. It wasn't until after the fall of Stam that he was pushed out by the Liberals who were ethereal in the wind and rain as a lifesaver.
Although Casston lost to Stam in the previous power struggle, his influence in the Liberal Party was almost the same. So after he took power, he quickly stabilized the Liberal Party, and everyone else basically stayed, except for a part of Stam's hardcore who left.
After the fall of Stam the Liberal Party, despite its notoriety, it remained the largest party in Bulgaria compared to several other devastated governments.
For Ferdinand's downfall, Casston was very supportive; But it is 10,000 points of dissatisfaction with him to abandon the Liberal Party and form a temporary cabinet on his own.
However, because the Liberals were already unable to protect themselves at that time, there were major factions opposing each other, and a large number of hostile political parties were eyeing each other outside. Castston also did not have the energy to cause trouble for Ferdinand, and when he finished dealing with the internal contradictions, he had to tear up with other political forces, and all kinds of troubles have not yet been settled.
The struggle between Bulgarian political parties has exacerbated the weakening of the power of political parties. Originally, during the Stamm period, the Liberal Party had formed a blood feud with other parties, and there was no room for relaxation between the two sides.
Clear-sighted people understand that if the major political parties continue to fight like this, everyone will be doomed sooner or later. Casston had many secret discussions with other political party leaders in an attempt to ease the conflict.
But the Liberals are willing to negotiate peace, but the other parties are not, even if the head of the political party can ease relations for the sake of the overall situation, the people below will not agree!
Especially for those who have relatives and friends who died during the Stam period, the blood feud cannot be resolved in a few words, and since the Stam cabinet is now in exile, it is not a mistake to put this account on the head of the Liberal Party.
After several years of fighting each other, everyone was demoralized, and Ferdinand introduced a series of laws restricting the development of political parties, which made it even more difficult.
At present, the major political parties in Bulgaria can be said to be one out of ten, and even the largest party, the Bulgarian New Liberal Party, has less than 3,000 members.
Compared with other parties, the New Liberal Party has maintained a sufficient advantage in terms of numbers and influence.
According to Bulgarian practice, the largest party that wins the parliamentary election and wins the majority of seats will be ordered to form a government.
Obviously, however, this time there will be an exception, and the party that has won the previous general election has not won less than 50 percent of the seats in the National Assembly, so it is of course logical to form a government.
At the internal meeting of the New Liberal Party, Casston is now giving a radiant speech: "Gentlemen, the opportunity we have been waiting for for so long has come! Having won this election, we will be back in the heart of Bulgaria again!! ”
……
The meeting ended with a chorus of cheers from the neo-liberals, as if they had won the victory and even prepared a programme for the future.
Despite what everyone thinks, the parliamentary elections in Bulgaria have begun. In order to successfully complete the election, Ferdinand invited the major Bulgarian media to participate in the supervision, and set up a total of 68 election points in the major electoral districts of the country.
The election started smoothly, this time with anonymous voting. Eligible voters write down their choices on a slip of paper prepared in advance and put them in the designated box.
After the voting was completed, it was opened on the spot in full view of everyone, and local respected elders were invited to be responsible for the counting and registration of votes, so as to ensure justice and fairness as much as possible.
Was Ferdinand's discipline so high? Of course he doesn't exist, and he's not a fighter for freedom and democracy. In order to weaken as much as possible the political party members who may cause him problems in the future, the government also released the resumes of the candidates before the election.
All of them are based on real evidence, and they use real schemes, and they are all treated equally, and no one can say anything. In addition to the basic personal information, it also includes the activities of social groups that you have participated in, what contributions you have made to the country, etc., which seems to be clear at a glance.
On the surface, it is fair and fair, but it makes the political party people cry, they are all from the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, although they have changed their vests now, but the impression left by the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party is too deep, and many people hate them as soon as they see the profile, and they do not hesitate to vote for their opponents.
Not only have political parties been hit, but many democrats have also not reaped the benefits. is mainly in the column of contribution to the country, which is basically canvassing for votes. If there is no subjective inclination, it is natural for people to vote for those who contribute to society.
These are all tangible contributions, which can be widely recognized by society, such as the usual review of the world, the past and the present, these controversies can not be determined, can only be recorded in the resume, and suddenly it seems that they are not as useful to the country as an ordinary worker.
Ferdinand's surprise attack caught many people off guard, but it made it impossible for people to directly oppose it, and it was completely open and transparent.
Casston was in a bad mood right now, and in his opinion Ferdinand was a typical bridge crossing, although he had already done it once.
Under the circumstances, Ferdinand did not kill them all after all, but only expelled the Stamm cabinet, and he understood his position aside.
Even earlier, Castston was fully supportive of the mental illness of the members of the Stamm cabinet. Of course, this must be true, otherwise the Liberal Party will not be able to get out of it.
There is no need to look at the election results, Casston knows that he is out, and the cemetery of the murders of 10,000 people outside Sofia is still there? No matter how hard he tried and how respected, the Sofian people who had experienced the White Terror could not support a core figure of the former Liberal Party.
In the 19th century, when information transmission was backward, Casston, who had lost the struggle for power in the party early, had not yet had a chance to enter the political arena, and there were really few ordinary people who knew about him. If it were conventional, who would expose the truth?
