Chapter 134: Strong, Tiger Lady! (5th Watch)
Luo Yin frowned and thought carefully.
The Jombi City Council currently has a total of 17 councillors, with nine more members being 26 and 25 without the speaker.
The big move in the council is that it requires the consent of two-thirds of the people to pass. This does not include the Speaker.
Although the speaker also has the right to vote, he usually presides over parliamentary meetings, takes a neutral position, does not participate in speeches and discussions, and only when the two sides have the same number of votes, the speaker will cast a crucial vote.
"If two-thirds agree, the mention of eucalyptus can be passed", if you put it another way, that is, more than one-third of the people do not agree, then the mention of eucalyptus will not pass!
When the size of the parliament was expanded to 26 members, two-thirds of the number of members was 17, not counting the speaker. As long as there are seventeen people united, the remaining eight people will not be able to make any waves.
At the same time, if the nine new councillors are all from outside the city, and they are united, they may not be able to pass any major proposals, but more than a third of them will definitely prevent you from passing them.
Therefore, these nine positions cannot all be given to people from outside the city, at least one must not belong to people from outside the city.
Even if this position is not from the city, as long as he is a neutral person, it is enough.
Burton said to Luo Yin again:
"If you are willing to run for office, and you promise that after you are elected, you will not vote for people outside the city on issues related to the interests of people outside the city. Then we at the town hall will do our best to help with the election. Rest assured, with our help, your chances of running will increase dramatically! ”
The implication of these words is that if you want to run on your own without our help, it will be very difficult to run.
Luo Yin didn't doubt this, after all, people are professionals.
"Are there any other conditions besides this condition?"
Luo Yin asked.
"No, that's the only condition."
Luo Yin was silent for a while, and then said with a smile:
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm really interested."
"Haha, it's good to be interested!"
Burton laughed heartily, and then talked to Luo Yin about some details, saying that the election would start in two weeks, and if there was no problem, he would help Luo Yin sign up.
Half an hour later, Luo Yin sent Burton downstairs.
Burton's purpose was to get Luo Yin to run for parliament, and since the goal had been achieved, there was no need for him to stay here. Of course, this refers to today, and after today, he wants to come to Miro's restaurant to relax, and he has been pretending to be honest every day recently, but he has suffocated him.
When Luo Yin went upstairs, he found that Novia had appeared in the stairwell at some point.
"It's decided?"
Novia spoke.
"It's decided."
Luo Yin nodded. Then some strange questions to Novia:
"Madame, do you want to say anything to me? Be all ears. ”
Novia looked at this smart man and was a little unhappy, but she still said:
"There's nothing to say, that's what the council is like anyway, and you'll be able to handle it. And the reason why he found you is most likely because you are an outsider, and you do not belong to the two factions inside and outside the city, nor do you belong to the two factions......"
"Wait? What are the two factions? ”
Luo Yin asked suddenly.
"Heh, it looks like Burton didn't tell you."
Novia scoffed, then continued.
"The members of parliament are not monolithic, and they cannot be monolithic, otherwise it would not be called parliament."
"There are two factions in Parliament, the new faction and the old faction, which are about half to half, and you don't belong to either faction, so if you are elected, it will save them a lot of time arguing."
"After all, the two factions have been arguing for a long time, and if they do it again, then they may not be able to grab a seat...... I got the news that people from outside the city are very well prepared for this councillor election! So, come on, teenager! ”
Seeing that Novia was a little gloating, Luo Yin was suddenly a little speechless.
"But you don't have to worry too much, since you agreed to cooperate with the city hall, then they will definitely make efforts, plus with your current fame, the probability of being selected is still relatively high."
Novia may have felt that Luo Yin's face was a little serious, so she encouraged her two more words.
"Thank you."
These messages are still quite useful, and after Luo Yin thanked him, he asked a little strangely:
"Madame is not a city councilor?"
"Of course not."
Novia shook her head.
Luo Yin nodded, yes, a nobleman in Novia, is still an earl, he is independent of this system, and there is no need to run for any city council.
But Novia said casually:
"How boring it is for the city councilors, especially the city councilors in this small place of Qiongbi City...... So – I was elected to Congress two years ago to play around. ”
“……”
Sorry for the interruption, farewell!
Congressman, that's a real national figure. I heard that there seem to be only two congressmen in Qiongbi City, and Tiger Niang is actually one of them, strong!
Novia saw Luo Yin's shocked expression, and suddenly felt a little refreshed, she finally pretended to be a little in front of Luo Yin, after all, Luo Yin had always been kind to her before.
Of course, she said it simply, but it can't be so simple.
Even if she is an earl, it is not so easy to compete for the Parliament, after all, the number of places is limited. She has worked hard, but this kind of thing will definitely not be told to Luo Yin.
Before the banquet was over, Luo Yin returned to the banquet hall again.
Steve: They all congratulated Luo Yin and said that they would help after Luo Yin ran for the election.
Luo Yin was humble at first, and then he was not polite to their help, he should have asked for it.
If you don't seize this opportunity, you may not be able to encounter this kind of thing in the future.
After all, the city councilors of Jombi City can be re-elected every ten years...... It will be difficult to wait for this kind of opportunity to cut the queue in the future.
Steve, they are also a little envious, after all, they are city councilors, and they can be said to be one of the highest political identities in Qiongbi City.
It's not that they can't be chosen, although the odds are unlikely, but if they can get the support of the town hall, there are still chances.
Unfortunately, they either have a faction or are very close to a faction. belongs to the kind of "people who are ripped off".
For example, Steve, in fact, has a chance to run this time, but because he has a good relationship with the old school in the parliament, the new school is unwilling. The two sides argued for a long time, and finally crossed out Steve's name.
On the way to the banquet, Luo Yin went to the bathroom, and when he came back, he passed by a place and heard a familiar name.
"Kelvin, don't just eat, you have to think of a way to see how you can get close to Mr. Luo Yin!"
A somewhat disgruntled young voice came.
"I'm sorry, I'm stupid, I can't think of it for a while."
"You-"
Luo Yin turned his head and looked, it was really his neighbor Kelvin.
Seems to be in trouble? He thought for a moment and walked briskly.
