Chapter 73 Institutional Reform
It was the end of March in 1641, nearly eight months after the crossing.
It is said that the heart of this person once the life is settled and there are more ideas, nearly eight months of struggle and hard work, the construction of Manchester City is initially on the right track, the appearance of the police station, the Civil Affairs Bureau and other corresponding departments have also given some people with ideas to take direct action.
Since the Great Crossing, Manchester City has implemented a system of committee deliberations, in which seven representatives are elected by all the members of the committee to become members, and a supreme person in charge is elected by internal voting of the members, that is, the chairman, and after the last plenary meeting, Zhou Aiguo was elected as the chairman.
But now, with the improvement of various departments and related work to be done, many people have begun to think about more long-term matters and political demands, because from the current situation, most of the leaders are those who have management experience or have certain skills.
This is in stark contrast to some of the people who were students and low-educated people before the crossing, who will not be elected in every election, because they really have no certain experience, and these people have their own certain demands, thirst for politics, and want to be officials.
The problem ranged from the initial complaint to the direct proposal to build a political school to help them study and accumulate a certain amount of talent for future assignments to other places. Not to mention that this proposal is indeed quite good, but if you want to take classes, of course, you have to find the managers and committee members of the current departments to be the teachers themselves, and they all have a certain amount of experience.
The school was formally established a week ago and named Manchester City School of Political Science and Law, the school's teaching location is temporarily placed in the classroom of Manchester Primary School, the college currently has two majors, one is business administration, the other is political science and law, the former mostly teaches how to manage and run a business, and the latter is to teach politics, geopolitics, national strategy and other aspects of knowledge.
Because everyone is busy during the day, the teaching time is changed to the evening, and the teaching group composed of civil affairs and enterprise managers is responsible for teaching three people every night to teach their management experience and knowledge learned before crossing to everyone. At present, the academy is only open to immigrants, considering that there are not so many towns and there is no need for so many management talents.
In addition, another group within the crowd is also constantly shouting their voices, they hope to come up with a truly legally binding election law, according to the current electoral system, there is no law at all, there are no clear provisions on bribery, and most importantly, the existing law enforcement has a human favor greater than the law, which is very dangerous in the future.
After all, there are already some people who have begun to call for a special set of laws that belong to all the people, and in their opinion, the country of Australia was founded by them, and they and their descendants should naturally be separated from these commoners, become a privileged class, become nobles, and enjoy everything.
But the wise will certainly not be stupid enough to agree, unless they want everything they have built to be overthrown after their death, for history has fully told us that the privileged class will only become a moth to a nation, constantly sucking the nutrients of the country until it finally perishes.
And really smart people will learn from those families in the United States, and use their family's influence in various fields to directly influence the government's decision-making, that is, the existence of a shadow government.
Everyone has their own ideas, not just to live through the beginning, over time, some people want to establish a country like the United States, some people want to establish a government like the future country, and some people want to be princes, and even have drawn their own territories on the map, everyone is the king of a small country, and these small countries form the Australian Federal Empire, and the emperor is served by the kings of each small country.
It's really funny, when this is, the city-state of ancient Greece, a Manchester city has not yet fully developed and started to think of some messy things, thinking about splitting it.
Several heads of the Executive Committee and heads of various ministries sat together to discuss the growing number of ideas, and the existing system was generally flawed and not suitable for the future development of a country, and the discussion finally began to revolve around whether to continue to invest or state-owned.
Both systems have certain advantages, the former is more individual-oriented, the latter is more collective-oriented, but as far as the current situation is concerned, people still want their own personal interests to be greater, and they have not yet realized that what they have created can be shared with those immigrants.
After much discussion and analysis, it was decided to continue the current system, with the exception of some industries that the government controls and which are primarily related to national security, and which will be privately held.
For example, everyone feels that the seven-member executive committee cannot fully represent the whole people, and that the separation of powers in the United States should be referred to, and the scope of executive, legislative and judicial powers should be clearly distinguished, so as not to abuse power.
If this reform is carried out in this way, Manchester City will establish the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as the Supreme Court, which will greatly increase the number of MPs, and the original members of the Executive Committee will be converted into MPs, and the power will not be so great.
After some discussion, the total number of members of the Supreme Court was tentatively set at 70, 35 in each chamber, and the number of members of the Supreme Court was set at 7 in the future, but the specific implementation time was set at June this year, which means that it will take more than two months to carry out the transition.
The responsibilities and powers of other ministries will also be clearer, and in a reformed government, existing staff will be reappointed, and those who are really unfit for a post will be placed under the guardianship of more parliamentarians.
With the pace of reform, the establishment of political parties is also inevitable, the composition of the executive committee after the reform basically refers to the United States in the future, with two months to pass, in addition to some things to deal with, is the most critical party establishment, it is to leave a certain amount of time for everyone to run in and choose to stand in line, I believe that in the current environment soon everyone will be able to find their own choice.
At this meeting of the Executive Committee, it was also clarified that after all the departments were perfected, and the official establishment of the state was officially established, the time was set for October 1, and perhaps there were still thoughts about the relatives and the past in the old world, and this proposal was basically agreed by everyone.
