Chapter 408: The Last Guarantee

In any case, the relevant policies on social security have been finalized and announced through the SAR's online platform.

Unsurprisingly, the policy of providing social security for life after only fifteen years of work in the Tuvalu Special Quarter has directly dispelled everyone's last concerns.

Thousands of immigration applications have overwhelmed the relevant staff of the Special Administrative Region.

In order to make these migrants more aware of the policies of the Tuvalu Special Administrative Region (TSAR) and to inform them of their personal rights and obligations after immigration, and to avoid future management problems, the SAR has to limit the number of applications processed to less than 100 per day.

Compared to the otherworldly Chinese countries, the immigration requirements in the Special District of Tuvalu are somewhat different.

The SAR does not impose any hard and fast rules on the personal knowledge of applicants for immigration, but ordinary immigrants are not eligible to vote.

If immigrants want to participate in the public affairs of the Special Administrative Region and be eligible to vote, they must pass an examination.

The content of the exam is to allow the reference to judge the right and wrong behavior of the parties from the descriptions of some simple cases.

The computer system randomly selects 50 questions from the question bank and asks the referee to make a judgment within an hour.

The insufficient time for the exam forces the candidates to rely on their own intuition to answer, and avoid bringing some domestic thinking methods into the exam.

Each question is worth two points, and fifty questions are a total of 100 points.

If the test score is less than 80 points, it means that there is a serious deviation in their values and ability to judge right and wrong, so they cannot obtain the right to vote.

The so-called referendum puts all people who do not have basic judgment and have serious deviations in values as voters.

This is a fair practice on the surface, but countless facts have proven that most people in this world do not have the ability or habit of independent thinking.

If they don't have the basic ability to judge right and wrong, can they make choices that will lead the whole group in the right direction?

Moreover, the long-established herd habits of such people, as well as their large population base, can completely influence the outcome of any vote.

In fact, such an election is no longer a matter of which choice is more correct and better, but of who has more people.

Under the Critical Social Affairs Regime of the Special Administrative Region of Tuvalu, all formal immigrants are allowed to express their views on the matter.

You can choose the views you support based on the opinions of people from different fields, and use your common sense and judgment to choose the opinions you support.

Therefore, even if you do not have expertise in a certain field, as long as you have basic understanding and judgment ability, you can still participate in voting in areas that you are not familiar with.

Therefore, basic understanding and judgment and values that are in line with the overall interests of everyone are the most basic qualities of an immigrant with the right to vote.

If you don't have this quality, there is no need to participate in these voting activities, because there is no direct relationship between your vote and the right choice.

With such a provision in place, the Tuvalu Special Administrative Region has completely eliminated the common practice of proxy votes in the elections of some grassroots organizations in the country.

Of course, such a provision did not attract much attention among immigrants in the early days, because people had long since lost interest in the so-called democratic elections.

Even immigrants who have participated in elections at home, the more they experience it, the more they feel that this is an election that has nothing to do with the bigger picture.

In some elections, even who is elected and what they look like is not known until after the election is over.

It is conceivable that this form of election basically has no practical significance for ordinary people.

As a result, these new immigrants to the Tuvalu District are unaware of the difference between the voting on major social issues in the region and the so-called democratic elections in the country.

Li Tao, who is more familiar with the situation in the special zone, also chose to emigrate without hesitation under such circumstances.

Li Jian, who has become friends with him, expressed his confusion about the SAR's practice of treating voting qualifications as an important power for immigrants.

Li Tao could only explain to him: "The voting in the special zone is different from that in China, where you can vote on any social affairs.

We vote on how things should be done, not by electing a person to make decisions on our behalf.

For things that only involve a small number of groups, if you can find enough supporters, you can even start an online poll.

The special online voting mode realizes complete real-name voting on the one hand, and can also protect the privacy of voters on the other hand. ”

Li Jian, who had also participated in some election voting activities before, said suspiciously: "Since it is a real-name vote, how can we protect the privacy of voters, isn't it a contradiction?" ”

"That's why I say this is a special new type of voting model," Li said.

If you want to vote, you don't just use your identity to vote.

Instead, after using your own identity authentication under that voting theme, you will randomly get a voting code and password.

Then use this voting code and password to vote on the web page.

In this case, no one else will know the true situation of the voters based on the detailed list of votes published on the website.

However, voters know whether the published information has been manipulated, and can supervise the voting situation, and there will be no black-box operation that may exist in other voting methods, and the efficiency of voting is also higher. ”

Li Jian sighed with emotion and said: "According to the voting mechanism you mentioned, it is indeed much more advanced than those forms in China.

I've also been involved in some voting meetings, and there are a lot of scrutineers and tellers, all of which are counted by hand.

As long as there is human involvement, I feel that there is room for maneuvering.

Exactly what the actual voting situation was like, and whether there were errors in the counting process, people who were not involved simply do not know.

Also, there is no separate room for filling out the ballot, so people in front of and around may be able to see how well you fill out the ballot.

In such an environment, it is really difficult to say whether the ballot paper reflects the true intention of the person who filled in the ballot.

Therefore, ordinary people mostly watch the so-called election as a joke.

At the election meeting in our village, there were even cases where one person filled out hundreds of votes on his behalf, but can this practice really reflect the true will of the masses?

It's just a matter of covering your ears and stealing the bell. ”

Li Tao listened to Li Jian's complaints, felt something, and said: "Yes, only by experiencing it yourself can you know the meaning of the ballot."

During my time in the Tuvalu Special Administrative Region, I truly realized that the ballot is the last guarantee of power for the members of the Special Administrative Region. ”
