211. Wellington's Political Story 8
Speaker Borg's face became very ugly, and he was also one of the top few big names in the imperial political arena, and he was very unhappy to be confronted like this, but it was the Imperial Marshal Nicholas who took the lead, a figure whose prestige and qualifications made him have to obey, which made Borg have to nod his head in agreement.
Politics is like that, as long as you make reasonable use of the rules, others will have to recognize them, unless they don't want to mix in politics.
"Wait. ”
Just as Philip was about to go to the podium, Adrian stopped him, and Philip's fierce blood seemed to infect him, and the Prince of Blood came to Lord Lobit's side and whispered, "You will say this when you go up......"
"Even if you name a flower, I'll vote again!"
As soon as Philip stepped onto the podium, he heard Borg's voice coming from behind him.
Lord Lobit smiled, he was not afraid of this threat at all, if things went according to what he had just envisioned, it would be impossible for Borg to say that it would be impossible at all.
Standing still, in front of him, there are the top politicians of Bugas, representing all the people of Bugas, the invisible pressure is coming, and everyone's eyes are projected on Philip, just like in a torrential rain, violent raindrops, once they can't support it, they will be knocked to the ground.
No wonder the teller just now was trembling all over his body.
The corners of Philip's mouth hooked up a faint smile, and the violent rain seemed to turn into a gentle drizzle, gently caressing Philip's body.
Pressure?
Is it more stressful than when the city is besieged by five times the enemy and there is no hope?
"Honorable Councillors!" Philip spoke. The sound was clear and mellow, wafting into everyone's ears.
"Whatever happens here today, I will truthfully convey it to the people of Galia, whether it is a father who cannot find a job, a housewife who has no money to buy bread, or a child who has grown up in poverty, they will remember that one day, at the crucial moment of the merger of Lobit and Galia, you cast a crucial vote. Let their lives change forever! Let Lobit, who is in dire need of a large number of laborers, have intimate contact with them. Thank you!"
After speaking. Philip waved his hand, and without taking away a single cloud, he walked directly to the audience, and many people still hadn't figured it out. Philip came to power only to express his gratitude for what had not yet happened. Did he burn his brain?
Only the most politically minded people want to understand what is going on. Philip's remarks were made entirely to Speaker Borg, and it was a naked threat to be exact, as can be seen from Borg's angry face.
If this bill does not pass today. I'm going to tell the people in Galia that it's the Republicans who voted against it, it's they who keep you in poverty, it's they who keep you without a job, you can't afford bread, you live in poverty from a young age.
As long as the majority of Gallia, who live below the poverty line, remembers their misery, they blame the Republican Party for their plight, and from now on, Gallia will never produce a Republican congressman!
As the Republican leader in the Congress, once such a thing happens, Borg will not be able to escape the blame, and if it is not good, there will be other factions in the party tomorrow who will ask Borg to resign as speaker.
It's despicable!
Beads of sweat dripped down Borg's forehead, and he was already in a dilemma: he couldn't order Republican lawmakers to approve the royalist bill, and he couldn't force a vote to make the Republican Party lose Gallia's votes permanently.
Borg has never felt like his life has been so difficult as it is today, not even when he discovered that his male abilities were only a minute ago, all thanks to Philip!
Borg looked at Philip who had returned to the observer's seat, the lord who was less than twenty years old was simply a demon!
Borg didn't realize that in a small corner of the side door of the council hall, two elderly men looked at the speaker who was constantly wiping cold sweat with very unkind faces.
"How could we have elected such a fool to be the speaker in the first place?" the tall man with the eagle ditch nose touched the bridge of his nose, and looked rather cold under the heavy bags under his eyes.
"I used to think he was quite smart, but I didn't expect to be so substandard today, it seems that today's events are too unexpected, I have to say, his young opponent should not be underestimated!" "The answer to him was a very fat man, and everyone looked harmless, if Miranda was here, he would definitely find out that this was Henry Cooper, the president of the Cooper Chamber of Commerce, and the one next to him was naturally his brother, the Prime Minister of the Empire, Anthony Cooper.
"Hmph!" snorted coldly, Anthony didn't want to admit that the annoying young man was better than the old politician he had propped up, and waved his hand in exchange for the guard, "Bring paper and pen." ”
After writing a few words on the paper, Anthony handed it to the guard: "Give it to the idiot on the stage, if this little thing can't be done well, he will get out of the Republican Party for me!"
Philip saw that a man dressed as a guard ran up to the rostrum quickly, as if he had said something to Borg, and the speaker suddenly came back to life with a red face as if he had believed in Brother Chun, and struck the wooden hammer in his hand hard, and shouted: "Be quiet, be quiet." ”
"I propose that a referendum be held by the people of the two regions on whether Lobit and Galia will eventually merge!"
Borg's words caused a lot of noise in the audience, both royalists and Republicans talked to their partners, and Borg's words fundamentally changed their plans, and lawmakers from both parties needed to reconsider.
I don't know who Lu Dao is, but as soon as he made a move, he solved the dilemma of the Republican Party. Adrian exclaimed beside Philip.
"Oh?
"According to the rules of the parliament, if there is a bill that cannot be resolved by the parliament, it can be submitted to the citizens with interests for a full vote, but under normal circumstances, the parliamentarians will not give up their decision-making power and leave it to the mud legs in their eyes to decide. However, this time, the Republican Party can kick this dilemma to the Galia and Lobit people to make their own decisions, whether they have passed it or not, they have no responsibility, and they can also make small moves in private to influence the people in these two regions, so as to resolve the embarrassment and preserve the strength to play again. ”
Adrian paused, and then said: "Look at the royalist side again, they are worried that they will not be able to force their way through the council, maybe it can be passed by a local referendum, don't forget, this is a bill submitted by you and the six city lords of Galia, maybe with the help of these city lords, the final result may be in your favor." ”
What Philip said just now was the result of a discussion with Adrian, and the Prince of Blood decided that since he had helped Philip, he had to help him thoroughly, so he simply pointed out how Philip could get the most benefit for himself in the situation just now.
In Adrian's explanation, the two parties also seemed to have reached a result, and each sent one person to step forward to the rostrum, and after a while, the clerk loudly announced that today's "Proposal for the Merger of Galia and Lobit" would be changed to "Proposal for Holding a Referendum on the Merger of Galia and Lobit".
For such a bill with almost unanimous views on both parties, the efficiency of passing is very fast.
"Phew!"
"I declare that the proposal to hold a referendum on the merger of Galia and Lobit has been unanimously adopted!"
"Whoa......
As the crowd stood up and applauded, Philip said to Adrian beside him: "Politics, it's ironic, a bill can drag on for a week, and it can be passed in forty minutes. ”
Adrian rolled his eyes, "What is this, and the ...... that has dragged on for decades and has not passed" (to be continued......
