"Wouldn't it? Is it that crazy? Henrith was skeptical, knowing that his friend didn't speak much, but he didn't quite believe it.

"Oh God, can you still not believe me? I'm willing to bet at least a few hundred people had arrived this morning when I arrived, and I had never seen that crowd in this building before today. Martin swore by it.

Seeing his friend say this, Henrith was also completely convinced, and continued to ask: "Martin, so how many people are running today?" We're not going to even get into the state house, are we? ”

The huge number of people makes Henris, who has always been confident, a little doubtful of himself, Sydney's competition intensity is the largest in Australia, even Henris, who has always been very popular, is worried that he will not even be able to enter the state house.

"It's probably more than a thousand, and I'm afraid there will be at least a few thousand candidates in this week's election. But don't worry too much, Henris. In the decades you've been in office, you've helped families with hundreds, if not thousands, but hundreds, right? As long as half of them are still thinking about you, you can win this election. Martin looked at his friend's worried look and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

For them, city officials, running for parliament already maintained some advantages.

After all, legislators are involved in the development and construction of the country by power, and even if it is just a small state legislature, they can elect governors and formulate state development policies.

This also means that the position requires a certain amount of political talent, which is also an advantage they have over ordinary Australians.

Coupled with the fact that Henrith has been quietly helping many poor families in Sydney, this has also made him a good reputation in Sydney's political circles.

All these conditions are combined, Henrith is one of the most advantageous people, even if he loses the election and cannot enter the House of Commons, it is definitely more than enough to enter the State House.

"Hopefully, anyway, the parliamentarian election is held every two years, and if you can't enter the House of Commons this time, won't there be a chance next time?" After the persuasion of his friends, Henris also saw it and gradually relaxed.

It didn't take long for the originally crowded state house to be separated by a walkway, and several guards walked in with a roster, stood in the most central position, and signaled everyone to be quiet, before announcing: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the order of His Royal Highness the Duke, the first House of Commons election in the Principality of Australia has officially begun!" There is a roster of candidates who want to participate in this election, and after the registration is completed, they will be the official candidates. During the week between today and the 17th, you can speak and canvass for votes throughout the Sydney constituency, but not through bribery and coercion. At the same time, all candidates' own votes are considered abstentions, and only those votes cast for you will be counted. The voting time is until 24 o'clock on the 17th, and the ballot papers will be invalid after the deadline. That's the rule, now people who want to run can come here and queue up to register. ”

This is happening in all the cities that have been designated as constituencies, because it is the first House of Commons election in Australia, so these guards are responsible for supervising the election process and explaining the specific election process and rules to all those who participate in the election.

Among them, the guards also specifically emphasized the prohibition of bribery and the use of coercion to get others to vote, which is also something that Arthur will explicitly prohibit throughout the voting process.

"Martin, let's go, I don't know when it's going to be later!" Seeing that there was already a long queue in front of the guards, Henris hurriedly urged his friend.

For Australians, casting a vote is as simple as registering their name and address, as well as the candidate they support, and the vote is considered a success.

But as a candidate, it is not easy to win this election.

After all, there will be at least thousands of candidates in Sydney this week, and it will be difficult to stand out among those thousands and become the dozens of people who will eventually enter the House of Commons.

But as soon as you enter the House of Commons, you enter the upper echelons of Australia's political establishment and also have the qualifications to be elected to the cabinet.

It is not impossible to even be lucky enough to gain Arthur's trust and enter the House of Lords.

Maybe it's the dream of developing your own country, maybe you want to satisfy your dream of being a politician, or maybe it's just curiosity to try to participate in an election, but this time the House of Commons election is welcomed by most Australians.

May 10, 10 p.m.

When Arthur saw Sydney's election data today, Arthur was taken aback.

In just one day today, 1,342 candidates were selected in Sydney, and 96,300 votes were cast.

Among them, the candidate with the largest number of votes has already received nearly 500 votes, and has initially gained a relatively large advantage in the course of the election.

This also made Arthur very curious about the election situation, and decided to go to the election site to see it for himself.

May 17, Sydney, New South Wales Parliament.

It was the last day of the entire Australian House of Commons election and the craziest day in the electoral process.

After a six-day election, more than 5,300 candidates have been elected in Sydney alone, and more than 205,000 votes have been generated.

Although the statistics of other states were not sent to Arthur due to the relatively short period of time, it can be deduced from the data in Sydney that the number of participants in this election is definitely not low, which completely exceeds Arthur's original estimate.

It is precisely because it is the last day of the election that Arthur decided to go to the election site to see it in person, and by the way, he will win a wave of public support.

Still familiar with the state chamber, Martin and Henries were standing outside the chamber, talking about their votes.

Because it is the last day of Election Day, even if you give more speeches today, you will already get very few votes.

Therefore, Martin and Henris also plan to resign themselves to fate and see if the efforts of the previous days will bear fruit and whether they can enter the House of Commons of their dreams.

At this moment, the two suddenly heard a noisy shout from the crowd: "Your Highness is here!" Your Highness is here! ”

"Your Highness? Let's go, go and see, it's really late and you can't squeeze in. Martin was immediately excited, and forced his friend to rush to the sound.

On the road outside the state house, Arthur was slowly descending from the carriage. While tidying up their clothes, they smiled and greeted the excited and frenetic crowd around them.
