Chapter 455: Debate in the House of Commons

"Silence, silence!" Like the justices presiding over the House of Lords, the Speaker struck the gavel a few times before the meeting became quiet.

A ruling party lawmaker stood up and said: "This guy named Bush doesn't know what to do, he has already rejected the olive branch extended by the government, and the next step is to organize workers to openly confront the government, and we must take precautions. ”

An opposition lawmaker said slowly: "We are a country with the rule of law in Britain, and although Bush's remarks are very inappropriate, and anyone can see what he is going to do, he has not acted on it at present, and we have no solid evidence to accuse him of illegal activities, so we do not have enough basis to arrest him!" ”

The ruling party lawmaker snorted coldly: "Do you have to wait until he inciting the workers to take action in the streets?" How much does that cost? ”

Another opposition lawmaker stood up and said: "Your considerations are very reasonable, but the former leaders of the Chartist movement, Lovett and O'Connell, including the current leaders Haney and Jones, have not been arrested, and Bush has not incited workers to take to the streets until now, so what reason do we have to arrest him?" ”

It is true that none of the troublemakers have been arrested, and it is obviously unreasonable to arrest those who have not yet made trouble; perhaps Bush is really just keen on charity and has no intention of making trouble; more importantly, there is a clear distinction between the ruling party and the opposition party, and even if it is clear that Bush is a thorn in the side and a factor of instability, it is impossible for the opposition party to lightly agree to the ruling party's bill.

After a round of discussion in the hall, Prime Minister Palmston pressed his hands together: "Gentlemen, I propose two bills on behalf of the Liberal Party. Please discuss it.

There is no need to speculate on Bush's intentions, he has already become a faint leader of the workers. As long as one in 10,000 of the workers who incite the workers to riot must be on standby, we will not allow anyone to sabotage the war against Russia. As Bush is an American, can we formulate a decree that limits the length and scope of foreigners' stay in Britain based on his status, so that every move of foreigners is under the control of the authorities? ”

"I'm against it!" As soon as these words were spoken, some opposition MPs shouted: "If this bill is passed, it will not only affect us in the United Kingdom, but also in Europe and the United States.

I have to remind you that between Europe and the United States. Personnel can come and go freely, and if Britain restricts the activities of foreigners in the UK, in retaliation, all countries will follow suit, which will seriously damage the principle of free trade, for the sake of a Bush, it is not worth it! ”

Another opposition lawmaker also said: "Surveillance of foreigners requires huge manpower and material resources. Where does the money come from? Due to the very tight budget for the war against Russia, there is no extra money left, so do you still have to pay for it? I don't think it's necessary, not even a vote. Otherwise, it will have a negative impact, and I request Your Excellency the Speaker to suspend this item and move on to the next item. ”

"Not bad. Not bad! Opposition lawmakers have expressed their support.

"Your Excellency, what is your opinion?" The Speaker looked at Palmston. At the end of the day, the Speaker has no powers. It only serves to maintain order in the meeting, and the suspended agenda is either voted on or withdrawn by the proposer.

Palmston didn't expect the bill to pass at all, he just proposed an impossible bill for the opposition to veto, then the likelihood of the bill being rejected would be correspondingly reduced, which is actually a common strategy, because the next bill will also involve many people, and it will also increase the power of the government.

"I have no opinion!" Palmston nodded, and said: "My second motion is that I hope that the lower house will authorize the government to formulate regulations on the management of doctors' practice qualifications, that is, all doctors must be licensed by the authorities to practice medicine, otherwise they will practice medicine illegally, and they will be fined, and those who are serious will be arrested and tried!" ”

"I'm against it!" Sherpool, who is both the dean of St George's Medical School at the University of London and an opposition MP, immediately jumped out and said: "No one has the right to practice any profession, and there should be no restrictions, Your Excellency Prime Minister, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are targeting Dr. Bush, but you should not impose restraints on the medical practitioners of the whole country for his own sake, and I dare to assert that this bill will inevitably provoke the agitated opposition of the medical practitioners of the whole country."

Taking a step back, if the Physician Licensing Act is passed, will other professions also need to be certified? It is hard for me to imagine that lawyers, musicians, sailors, bakers, barbers, and all kinds of professions will be certified in a disorderly manner, and what role the government will play in this, whether it will take the opportunity to strengthen its power, and whether it will be tyrannical in the name of certification. This is a problem that we have to face.

The British people have limited the power of the crown and the nobility through hundreds of years of struggle, and they do not want a huge government to be pressed on their heads, Britain is a free country, and the government should not dictate the people's choice of jobs! ”

Sherpu's face was full of righteous indignation, in the final analysis, there was no concept of vocational certification at that time, what profession people want to engage in, no need to be certified, only need to be recognized by the employer, that is, the government can't control it, although there will be some chaotic phenomena, but unrestrained, no one cares how good, no one wants to ride a mother-in-law on their heads.

Palmston secretly felt a headache, Charp can't be underestimated, this person is still very influential in the government and the opposition, with him leading the opposition, not to mention the opposition party, I am afraid that someone in his ruling party will vote for the veto.

Sure enough, in the ruling party, a considerable number of parliamentarians nodded again and again, after all, the parliamentarians are most worried about the government's excessive power, Cromwell's dictatorship can only be history, no one is allowed to appear another Cromwell, besides, doctors are decent professions, they are high-income people, many of the parliamentarians are inextricably linked with all kinds of doctors, legislating to manage doctors, which is equivalent to harming their own interests, and the most important thing is that parliamentarians rarely realize Wang Feng's dangerous nature, and the three labor movements have been easily solved by the government, Let them have the psychology of nothing more than that.

What are you afraid of in the demonstrations? As long as the military and police are dispatched, don't the workers who don't have guns in their hands have to obediently return to the factory? Some people even think Palmston is making a big fuss.

Let him make trouble, and if he dares to make trouble, he will send the army to suppress it!

Xia Erpu glanced around proudly, and said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, in fact, even if the parliament authorizes the government to formulate regulations on the management of doctors' professional qualifications, it will be too late in time, and it will take at least a few months for a regulation to be promulgated, can you wait that long?" What you are worried about is that Bush will incite the workers to make trouble and that it will affect the war against Russia, but I do have a suggestion, and I don't know if you would like to listen to me.
