May 28, 5 p.m., Lambeth District, General Election Polling Station.

The ballot is free and can be picked up free of charge at the polling station by every citizen who has the right to vote, and for convenience, there are only three names on the ballot paper, the names of the three candidates.

Voters only need to take a ballot, tick the name of the candidate they support, sign it or press their fingerprint, and then cast it in the ballot box.

The general election is transparent, the information is also open to the public, each voter only has one chance to vote, registration is required to enter the polling station, the final counting stage is also reviewed again, and bettors can collect or check their ballot at any time.

In addition, there is also a special person to conduct public opinion statistics, giving an approximate probability range, and when the results are far from public opinion statistics, the government will intervene and recount votes.

If you are illiterate, the betting shop also has someone to help fill it out, whether it will cheat, Mavi is not worried, such as Lambeth District, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party have arranged manpower, once there is tampering with the ballot, it will be reported immediately.

Of course, this is not to say that you can't cheat at all, just from the current situation.

Donnell Pat, cheating doesn't mean much.

When the last voter walked out of the door, the bell rang at 5 p.m., and at dusk, the staff of the ballot station moved the ballot boxes and returned to the backstage to count, and with the efforts of a dozen people, the results were reached in an hour.

The teller walked out of the backstage and shouted loudly while writing the results on the bulletin board:

"Gus Mendy, 3,112 votes."

"Donald Pat, 14,917 votes."

"Nicholas von Manstein 83,255 votes!"

"The elected member of the 27th parliament of Lambeth is Nicholas von Manstein!"

The applause rang out, and most of the people gathered outside the door applauded excitedly when they heard the names of the winners, and one of the votes Mavi received was one of them.

Donal-Pat also came to the scene, and although he had already guessed the result, when he heard such a disparity in votes, he couldn't help but bow his head and despair.

In the last general election, he was still a big man, but in the past 5 years, he has already taken turns of feng shui and tasted defeat.

"Go, Nicholas." The second prince said: "Go and accept the enthusiasm of the voters, this is what you have won back." ”

Taking Yunia's little hand, Mavi walked up to the high stage and applauded even more enthusiastically, just as he was about to express his gratitude.

In the crowd, a man wearing an octagonal hat and a black coat suddenly flashed, raised his arm, and pointed his gun at Ma Wei.

"Big brother! Be careful! ”

Bang!

Bang!

Sparks burst out, and two projectiles came out of their disembowels and hit Ma Wei's chest with precision, and the armor phantom suddenly appeared, blocking the two projectiles.

At the same time, the Assassin's body collapsed, and Levin knocked him unconscious.

Screams rang out in the crowd, and the scene suddenly became chaotic, and Mavi bent down to pick up the projectile that had fallen to the ground, opened his mouth to calm the panicked crowd, calmed everything down, thanked the voters, and then took the assassin into the carriage.

As soon as he got in the car, the second prince hurriedly asked, "Nicholas, are you not injured?" ”

"I'm fine, Archbishop Brandon blocked the bullet for my transcendent object."

Ma Wei looked at the projectile and found that it was very ordinary, and there was nothing surprising about it, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "It's not a secret that I have demon hunters around me to protect me, and it is impossible for ordinary people to kill me, so who instigated this assassin?" ”

The second prince opened his mouth and wanted to talk about the eldest prince Charles, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

Thinking about it carefully, no matter how stupid the eldest prince Charles is, he shouldn't send an ordinary person to assassinate him, the witcher team responsible for protecting Ma Wei has a follower of the goddess of health Wild, and the realm of immortality has been open for a long time, even without the protection of armor, bullets can't kill Ma Wei.

Would the eldest prince be so stupid?

With his power, even if he sends assassins, he should be extraordinary!

"Just take it back and interrogate it well!" The second prince said viciously: "Dare to assassinate a government official on the street, he is impatient!" ”

was assassinated, Ma Wei did not feel panicked, he had already been mentally prepared, and it was not once or twice that he was assassinated, so what was there to be afraid of?

"Could it be Donald Pat who did it?" "He lost the election and held a grudge, so he hired a hitman to assassinate his eldest brother, and that makes sense!" ”

"It's unlikely."

Ma Wei shook his head and said, "If Donalpat is a hot-blooded and desperate person, then he can't be a councilor, I don't think it's him." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Ma Wei didn't expect that anyone would send an assassin to kill him at this juncture, the key is that this assassin is not an extraordinary person, but an ordinary person, who will let an ordinary person assassinate if he is suspicious?

The news of his assassination spread far and wide, and soon spread throughout the Lambeth district, and even St. Paul's Cathedral received the news, which even alarmed the Pope.

Ubre I personally interrogated the prisoner, thinking that the prisoner would be some kind of hard stubble, but he didn't expect it

As soon as he saw Ubre I, the middle-aged man who assassinated Mavi confessed tremblingly.

"What? The reason why he assassinated Nicholas turned out to be because his wife ran away? ”

The second prince looked at the assassin's confession with a look of disbelief: "What does his wife have to do with Nicholas when she ran away?" ”

"He had a big fight with his wife because Nicholas said that women should have equal rights with men." Ubli I answered the second prince's doubts: "It just so happened that not long ago, when the Women's Rights Act was passed, his wife filed for divorce, and he thought that it was all Nicholas' fault. ”

"In other words, there is no one else behind him?!"

"Based on the results of the Witcher's visit."

Ublis I took a deep breath: "It should be a fact. ”

“.”

The second prince glanced at Ma Wei and didn't know what to say.

Ma Wei is very calm, because reality is not logical, everyone thinks differently, and even outrageous things can happen.

"At the end of the day, he just wants to continue to drive his wife like he used to, and the fault lies with me because he doesn't realize what the fault is." Ma Wei said calmly: "There are many people like him, and there are many who want me to die." ”

"Who made you move the interests of others?" Archbishop Cambury sneered and gloated on the sidelines: "Before you do this, you should be conscious. ”

"I just did the right thing to give them the freedom that was supposed to be theirs. Doesn't the Archbishop of Cambury think so? Ma Wei's eyes narrowed: "Even if you believe in the goddess?" ”

"You and I didn't say that!"

"Do you think women's rights should be improved?" Ma Wei nodded his head and said to Archbishop Brandon: "It seems that we need to give Archbishop of Cambury a good publicity, he is so loyal to the goddess, worthy of being an archbishop, willing to openly support women." ”

Archbishop Brandon smiled and said, "That's right, it's propaganda." ”

"Humph!"

The Archbishop of Camberley snorted coldly and walked away, he knew that this was a trap for Mavi, and it was better to be silent than to continue to defend himself deeper and deeper.

Seeing that the Archbishop of Cambury was deflated, the gloomy Archbishop of Leviu laughed a few times, the laughter was mixed with sarcasm, obviously he didn't like the Archbishop of Cambury very much.

"Well, since there is no mastermind behind it, let's end this matter, because the Assassin is not a member of the Church, so I will hand him over to Scotland Yard for murder."

"Are you satisfied, Nicholas?" said Ubre I. ”

"Listen to the Pope's arrangement."

"Good."

Leaving St. Paul's Cathedral, Mavi followed the second prince to Kensington Palace, where many people gathered at this moment.

The large chamber was full of people, many of whom were familiar faces, most of whom Ma Wei recognized, most of whom were Liberal MPs from the previous term, and who had been re-elected this time.

"Guys, I'd like to introduce you to a new friend."

At the top of the position, the second prince invited Mavi to stand beside him: "Nicholas von Manstein, he has been elected as a member of the council of the Lambeth district, and from today onwards, he will attend regular meetings, just like us. ”

The fine applause rang out, and none of the parliamentarians present did not know Ma Wei, and it was reasonable for the elected parliamentarians to become the confidant of the second prince.

It's better to say that with Ma Wei's joining, everyone's confidence has been greatly increased.

After taking his seat, the leader of the party, Baron Frederick, handed over a statistical report: "Your Highness, in this general election, the Conservatives won 363 seats and the Liberals won 319 seats. ”

“319？” The second prince's eyes widened: "How can this be?" We still had 327 seats in the last election, how can we lose 8 seats in this election? Obviously, the Conservative Party has also reduced its seats! ”

"Because of the women's unions, we and the Conservatives have lost in many remote constituencies"

Baron Frederick said in a deep voice: "In this election, the Democratic Party won 89 seats, 57 more than in the last general election, which is the credit of Duke Chevali, and the current Democratic Party is the third largest party in the House of Commons." ”

The entire National Assembly has 1,150 seats, with 500 in the upper house and 650 in the lower house, and the total number of seats includes the upper and lower houses.

Whether it is the Conservative Party or the Liberal Party, it seems that it has more than 300 seats, but in fact at least half of it comes from the House of Lords, and the House of Commons, which really controls the real power, the two parties are extremely competitive.

In this general election, the Conservatives are the undisputed largest party with 259 seats in the House of Commons, while the Liberals have only won 216 seats, ranking second.

In addition to the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, the Democratic Party led by Freya is in third place with 65 seats in the House of Commons, followed by Arthur's West Island National Party with 51 seats, the Welsh Party with 22 seats, the Neutral Party with 24 seats, the United Party with 10 seats and the Independent Party with 3 seats.

The largest party will be the ruling party, while the remaining opposition parties will be collectively called the opposition party, and the ruling party in the previous parliament was the Conservative Party, and this is also the case.

The winner of this election is undoubtedly Freya, who was the leader of the Democratic Party of China, which had only 23 seats in the lower house, but now has 65 seats, making it the third largest party.

"This time the ruling party is still the Conservative Party."

The second prince breathed a sigh of relief, although he was angry in his heart, but he was helpless, even with Ma Wei's joining, he couldn't change the outcome of the election, at most he had more say in the church.

"His Majesty has also re-elected the Cabinet, the Prime Minister is still Winston Churchill, and the Cabinet members have not changed from the previous term."

"Hmm." The second prince nodded, and his gaze swept over the dozens of councillors in the chamber, all of whom were from constituencies around London, and the councillors from other constituencies were too far away from London to be on call.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the new general election is over, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on your election as a member of parliament, and secondly, I would like to express my gratitude for your loyalty."

Clapping their palms, the maids handed out champagne for celebration, and the second prince raised his glass and said: "Although there are 8 fewer seats than the previous one, this time we have Nicholas joining, and I believe that a bright future awaits us!" Praise to freedom! ”

With that, everyone drank the champagne, and Mavi just wiped his lips.

After removing the cup, someone asked, "Your Highness, what is the next step for our party?" ”

"Expand the trade circle and give full play to our advantages!" The second prince said without hesitation: "The potions market has been developed, and the women's market is about to open, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Huge cakes are waiting for us! ”

"The potions market is in charge of Nicholas, we don't need to worry, we can only assist in the acquisition of raw materials and sales, what is really worth noting is the upcoming opening of the women's market, the enactment of the Women's Rights Act, so that women have property, and everyone knows that women need to consume Girard in many places, your lover, a dozen dresses every week, countless perfumes and cosmetics, right?"

A faint whisper sounded in the room, and the councillor named Girard said in a calm tone: "Who is not like this? I spend dozens of gold pounds on her every week, and even more so on jewelry. ”

"That's it!"

The second prince snapped his fingers: "It is common to give gifts to your partner, even if it is a poor low-class person!" There is a clause in the "Women's Rights Act" about property inheritance, now that women have the right to inherit property, this bill is bound to allow many women to obtain a large amount of wealth, if they put their money into our own pockets, is what we need to do next! ”

"How?" Someone asked.

"Unmarried women, we tempt them with their beauty and make them spend a lot of money on dressing, and at the same time encourage them to invest and buy stocks like men do"

The more the second prince spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he spat on him: "Married women, we can start with our children, such as promoting baby food, clothing, medicine, marketing in newspapers, and housing, so that they can give up the idea of renting a house and buy a house instead."

"Buying a house?" Councillor Girard questioned: "The price of a very ordinary 30-square-metre apartment in London is at least 50 gold pounds, which is not something that ordinary families can afford."

The second prince smiled and said, "I have already discussed this with Baron Frederick. ”

"If they don't have money, we lend them money and pay it back on a regular basis, and of course there is interest on the borrowed money, which will make us earn more."

"What if they don't have the money to pay their debts?"

"Then take back the house and sell it for a second time, and in the end the money is earned and the house is there, as long as we cooperate with the bank, no matter what, we will not lose money."
