Chapter 90, the election is over

Whatever Kaston thought, on October 28, 1892, the Bulgarian general election came to an end. Of course, the impact was also far-reaching, marking the end of the internationally prevalent partisan politics in Bulgaria.

Ferdinand knew that this was only for a short time, and that in the long run, the party would still be on the stage of history. In fact, this is also a helpless move, at present, if Ferdinand secretly forms a political party, it can be said that it is easy to move, but what are the consequences??

Konstantin's coming to power had already made it clear that Bulgaria was no match for him, and if there was another party to support it, it would inevitably affect Ferdinand's authority.

Ferdinand didn't plan to cultivate a competitor, he didn't dare to underestimate such a historical figure, there is no bottom line in politics, and it would be too late to cry if he accidentally capsized the boat.

Ferdinand didn't want to test people's hearts, and the best way to do that was not to give them a chance. Political parties and royal power are naturally contradictory, constitutional monarchy is not bad, if it is not a direct republic, Ferdinand will not have time to cry.

Just do it once and for all, at least under the influence of Ferdinand, this generation of Bulgarian people is not interested in political parties, and without the support of the people, they still want to be bigger?

By the time the people had forgotten all this, Ferdinand would have already become a big deal. Just like Queen Victoria of England is now, her prestige has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even if she is a constitutional monarchy, she has begun to distance herself from politics and can still dominate the direction of Britain.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, the overall situation has been decided, this parliamentary election is completely in accordance with Ferdinand's will, plus he has secretly controlled half of the votes, he really can't imagine the possibility of losing. Now Ferdinand is back to normal, leisurely admiring his beautiful long legs in the palace.

At this time, Alice walked in, handed over a document, and said with a slightly red face: "Grand Duke, this is the result of this election, and the list of congressmen is here!" ”

Ferdinand reluctantly withdrew his thoughts, business mattered, and the lessons of history taught him that if he was reckless, Nicholas II was an example.

Looking at a thin page of the list, followed by a thick stack of information. Ferdinand was only swept away, and there were no surprises in this election, with more than six tiers of seats in his pocket. There are very few members of parliament from political parties, and there is no doubt that all women who have signed up for election have been eliminated. However, one of the episodes still aroused his interest.

Under normal circumstances, there would be a winner anyway, and even if the number of votes is the same, there can be another round, but here an accident happened. Ferdinand wondered, "Oh, what's going on?" How could there be no one in the Gabule constituency to win? Could it be that the candidates have a collective convulsion? ”

Alice playfully said, "Grand Duke, the reasons for these problems are listed below. The candidates in this constituency are all former Liberals, and the local people are very unhappy with them when they find out. More than 3,000 people voted, and Kaki Ivanov, the highest, received no more than 30 votes, and all the candidates combined did not get three percent of the vote. The content filled in by other people is interesting, you can take a look. ”

Ferdinand flipped a few pages back, stopping on page sixteen, which caught his attention, and the voter filled in interestingly.

It is worthy of the belief of the whole people in God, and the highest vote rate is: "God", accounting for 48 percent; This was followed by "calls for the recall of several candidates", which accounted for 36 percent.

Various reasons are also attached, such as normal reasons: hiding identity information before, moral problems; Strange reasons such as: I am too ugly to represent me, I suspect that they are foreign spies, and they are the embodiment of the devil......

Seeing Ferdinand crying and laughing, you can imagine what kind of expressions several candidates would have after hearing these reasons on the spot, it must be very exciting!

No one will be elected, even the unlucky guy with the highest percentage of votes, Kaki Ivanov, is too embarrassed to declare himself the winner!

Otherwise, he would be the shortest-elected MP in Bulgarian history, and it is estimated that the voters on the spot would not mind exercising their right to recall the MP again.

Even so, they will become the laughing stock of history, and they will become world-class celebrities, serving as a negative example to teach future generations that politics is not for everyone.

The rest of the people filled in a variety of fields, including their own names, heroes in Bulgarian history, Ferdinand, the king, and international figures.

They have expressed their dissatisfaction with the candidates in various ways, but the host is still very clever, and as soon as the statistical results came out, it was announced that no one was elected, and the person with the highest percentage of votes was not elected in accordance with the regulations, which appeased the people.

By the way, I also asked the candidates for their opinions on the spot, and I didn't consider their feelings at all. Needless to say, how embarrassing the scene is, anyway, the voters are satisfied, and there is nothing to look at, Lao Tzu is willing to let the position of the MP be vacant first, fully exercising the right to be the master of the house once.

This incident, after it spread, left a very far-reaching impact. Since then, there have been cases of boycotts of "candidates" in elections around the world, including the presidential elections in Europe in later generations, in which all candidates were rejected by the people.

There is no doubt that the Bulgarian political parties have suffered another heavy blow in this election. The boycott was beyond their imagination, with the 13 parties winning only five seats in Parliament combined, less than 5 percent of the vote.

It can be said that for a long time to come, they can only continue to lie down, and their political influence is at its lowest point. A new wave of resignation from the party has begun again, and under the bombardment of relatives and friends, one by one enthusiastic young people have left gloomily.

The results of this election have not only hurt political party figures, but also received a cold reception in the international community. The British, the Germans, and Austria-Hungary were all wounded, and in order to interrupt the pro-Russian trend in Bulgaria, they tried to influence the future state policy of Bulgaria through this election. For this election, they also mobilized their respective influences to help canvass for votes, and even so, the results were so miserable.

The most controversial women's right to stand for election in this election was unanimously opposed by conservatives. Well, the new faction did not support either, and it can be said that this time Ferdinand was a lone fighter.

Ferdinand should be glad that there were no women in this election, and everyone used it as an after-dinner conversation. Otherwise, maybe the old masters would have come to the gate of the Sofia palace to petition.
