Chapter 213: Voting and Results

Time is like a graceful woman, always disappearing in a flash, the discussion of the policy continues, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This month, the main body of the Earth Fleet completed the relocation, from the original flagship Dawn, to the huge fortress of the Poseidon Base.

At the same time, the reform of the marriage system has also entered the formal voting process in the wave of public opinion.

In the streets and alleys, people either come to the scene or vote remotely through the system, and 2 billion of the 2.5 billion people on the ship who are legally qualified to vote have already completed the registration of the election in advance, and will officially vote today.

The voting process lasted a full day before the counting began.

Since the vote was supervised by all parties, the vote was highly representative. In accordance with the voting rules established by the Civil Administration Council, they will have a broad public base and will have the force of law.

The counting of votes lasted a whole day and a night, and then another day was spent on the counting, and the results of the vote were finally released.

In the conference hall of the Poseidon Base, the grand unveiling ceremony was being prepared, and a total of one hundred and thirteen fleet leaders, including Zhou Chen, were sitting at the front of the hall, waiting for the results to be released.

The 113 members included Captain Zhou Chen, 14 members of the advisory group, 23 members of the Supervision Committee, 35 members of the Civil Administration Committee, 25 members of the Science and Technology Committee, 39 regular members of the Military Forces Committee, and 2 special members, making a total of 41 people.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the results were released, and a red paper with the final voting results was passed to Zhou Chen by the scrutineer.

Zhou Chen looked at the results, smiled faintly, then picked up the pen to sign and confirm, and then handed the results to the convener of the Supervision Committee, asking him to confirm on behalf of the Supervision Committee, completing this link shows that the entire voting process has been officially recognized by the fleet, and there is no fraud in the process.

After a round of circulation, the voting results were finally handed over to Edwin, the general convener of the Civil Administration Committee, and the next step was to be counted!

In the midst of all the anticipation, Edwin took the stage and began to announce the results of the vote:

"On March 17, 15th A.D., March 17, 2071 A.D., at 10:30 a.m., the results of the referendum on the institution of marriage are now announced......"

Edwin paused at this point, and the audience in front of the television couldn't help but crane their necks and pricked up their ears to listen.

"Read it, why didn't he read it!"

"It's so appetizing, I still count on my happiness!"

While everyone was waiting, Edwin finally read out to the camera: "The number of valid votes in this vote is 1,934,675,728, of which 950,157,943 votes are in favor of 'relaxing marriage restrictions and implementing polygamy', accounting for 49.112% of the total votes!" ”

"There were 68,416,223 votes in favor of 'relaxing marriage restrictions, implementing polygamy, and parallel polyandry', accounting for 3.536% of the total number of votes!"

"892,953,174 votes were cast in favor of 'opposing the relaxation of marriage restrictions and supporting the maintenance of the status quo', accounting for 46.155% of the total number of votes!"

"Abstained from 23,145,591 votes, or 1.196% of the total votes!"

"The above, that is, the final result of this round of voting, is notarized by the official of the fleet and the Supervision Committee, and has legal effect!"

……

"What does this mean, that those who support polygamy win by a narrow margin, is it necessary to practice polygamy?"

After the news was announced, the interior of the fleet immediately exploded into a pot of porridge, at this time, the 1.196% abstaining vote, the favor of the relaxation of marriage restrictions, polygamy included option 1 and option 2, a total of 52.648%, while the opposition accounted for 46.155%, the final result was that the side that supported the relaxation of marriage restrictions achieved a slight advantage.

This result may have been expected by many people, after all, social media information is so developed at the moment, people look at the problem through more diverse channels, they deeply understand the harm of insufficient ethnic groups, and then have a desperate desire to increase the number of people, but with the results of the release, it still caused a very strong response.

"The happy life of our generation is coming?"

A slightly chubby man has been in front of the computer for a long time, and when the results came out, he breathed lightly, grabbed the display screen with an excited face, and then logged in to the Internet Nervous System platform for the first time to post his thoughts.

"Oh my God, what's wrong with this society, it's actually going to start practicing polygamy......"

Surprised, and angry, this is clearly a female commenter.

"As a sling, I deeply feel the malice from the world, there are not a lot of resources, and there may be a chance to break my fingers, but with the introduction of polygamy, isn't it even more my share now?" A reply with a suffix and a series of tearful expressions followed.

"Don't worry upstairs, a polyandry will save your bleak and hopeless life...... Please join me in signing a new official vote! ”

"Women's rights get out, don't panic upstairs, wait for another 16 years and be a good man, haven't you listened to the official propaganda? If polygamy is practised, the fleet will encourage the birth of female babies, and you should praise the captains for their understanding, because for their actions, maybe now your wife has passed the fertile egg period perfectly, and has begun to develop into an embryo......"

"Are you a little too optimistic or too pessimistic? Although those who voted for polygamy won by a narrow margin, according to the voting plan previously announced by the fleet, this number of votes was not enough to bring about a fundamental change in the institution of marriage! ”

Just when everyone was chatting hotly, suddenly a message that seemed very rational made everyone stunned.

"What do you mean, can't the results of the vote be counted?"

"Wouldn't we're all busy discussing here?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"I'll go, find out the voting plan and take a look, don't really make us mistake."

"Don't look for it, I've already posted it, the guy upstairs is right, the current vote results do not mean that polygamy will be implemented!"

This was followed by a dense series of explanations of voting proposals.

"How?"

"What's going on?"

After a few minutes, a person who may have studied ancient texts suddenly posted and scolded: "Post out, I am surprised, read it carefully, let's not be happy, I want to find a place to vent for it, his mother, very unhappy, resentful, hateful, really helpless!"

"Talking upstairs!"

"It's crazy upstairs, don't worry!"

Soon another one came out: "Let's wash and sleep, it turns out that this vote is not a 'simple majority system', in other words, just if the total number is more than half or the highest support, it cannot be hastily determined as a victory!" ”

"Why?"

"The reason is very simple, there are almost 2 billion people voting this time, even if only 30% of the people are against, it is nearly 600 million, and this is extremely serious to the tear in society, according to the current political logic of the fleet, a simple majority in the voting process on major issues is ineffective, and it can only ......be implemented after many rounds of consultations to reach a final consensus."

"Moreover, this vote is in the nature of changing the original regulations, and given that the original regulations have a wide social identity and have formed an ethical identity, if you want to change it, you must have an absolute advantage!"

"So how much can you change?"

"At least ninety percent, and only more than ninety percent of people believe that the marriage system needs to be changed, for polygamy to be practiced!"

"Dizzy, after daring to kick the goal, I found that the goal is only as big as a bowl, so why vote!"

"I'm wondering too!"

……

Edwin stepped down after reading out the voting results, regardless of the public opinion turmoil caused by the voting results.

Half an hour later, after the final consultation of the Civil Administration Committee, Edwin took the stage again to announce the draft policy adjustment made by the official based on the results of this vote.

In anticipation, Edwin bowed to the direction of the seat and said, "According to the voting results, the Civil Administration Committee has made the following adjustments: 1. Keep the original marriage system unchanged, and implement monogamy in the fleet society!" ”

With the announcement of this result, everything was settled, and there were happy and depressed people in the fleet, but this result was acceptable to the general public.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't change, life is still the same!

It's just that those who had expectations were disappointed.

"Second, the fleet decided to implement a eugenics policy; Encourage newlywed families and original married families to have the next generation, and the fleet will officially give certain subsidies, please refer to the official website of the fleet for details. ”

The maternity subsidy is expected by the whole ship, regardless of the outcome of the vote, this policy will certainly not change, but in the specific implementation process, the birth of a female baby will be nearly 10% more than the male baby.

The subsidy deviates little, but the official fleet shows an attitude of wanting to increase the population.

The subsidy policy is a systematic project, because it involves small deviations, so in order to prevent parents from using their children, especially girls, as a tool for profit, so the details of policy formulation involve all aspects of children's growth, and the core point is to treat children as direct beneficiaries of the policy, rather than simply their parents.

"Third, in view of the results of the vote, the fleet will moderately relax the restrictions on marriage, through the Supplementary Explanation of Special Cases of the Marriage System; For those whose credit scores rank in the top 80% of the fleet, and who have the authority of level 8 or above, or who have contributed more than 100,000 points to the fleet, they are allowed to open marriage restrictions to a limited extent, and after the joint application and approval of the person and the parents of both parties, polygamy can be implemented! ”

"Additional restrictions: At the same time as the application, the applicant needs to deduct the credit score of the party, tentatively the man and the man's family will be deducted 70%, and the woman (tentative) will not be deducted, and the future implementation standard will be adjusted according to the fertility rate and sex ratio, please refer to the official website of the fleet for details."

With the announcement of Edwin's policy, the whole society has set off a fierce discussion.

The threshold for the third restriction is not high, and almost more than 70 percent of the ship's personnel are eligible.

But the ethics in reality (you need to apply for it and your parents on both sides) and the practice of deducting points later, this alone can cut off the thoughts of the vast majority of people, you must know that the most valuable thing in the Earth Fleet is not money, but credit points!

What's more, the man still takes the form of joint sitting!

This is destined to be a non-existent "Supplementary Note on Special Cases", because almost no one will approve of such polygamy!

It's a pity to discard it, and for the vast majority of people, it's just a vision. (To be continued.) )
