Having dealt with the crisis, Australasian politics is back to the Cabinet elections in two months' time.

This cabinet election has attracted great attention to major political parties and individuals.

According to the system inherited from Australia in Australasia, after the prime minister has been successfully re-elected for two consecutive terms, without Arthur's special permission, Prime Minister Evan will have to temporarily bid farewell to the position of prime minister in the government, or deign to become a minister in the department, or he will have to wait for the next election.

But will Prime Minister Evan, who has already experienced the power and status of the prime minister, really put down his son and become a minister in the department?

What we are most looking forward to this cabinet election is actually the cabinet government's several ministers with real power.

If Prime Minister Evin is not re-elected, they will be the most likely candidates to become the new Prime Minister.

Even if the power of the prime minister of Australasia is greatly limited, it is still a position under one person and above ten thousand people in politics, and it is impossible for these cabinet ministers not to be impressed.

In fact, after entering 1907, the atmosphere of the Australasian cabinet election has begun to gradually intensify.

At the end of April, the atmosphere of the general election became even hotter, and the major political parties that had been patiently preparing for four years began to prepare for the highest political scene in Australasia.

The election of Minister Wiley in the previous government was unexpected by the parties, but this time they were ready.

In particular, the United Party (a merger of the Independence Party and Endeavour), which currently holds a large number of seats in the House of Representatives, is also one of the parties most likely to win the ministerial post.

Elections in Australasia are not the same as those in other countries. In Australasian politics, the Prime Minister's powers are fully limited by Cabinet Ministers and have executive power only.

The power of the prime minister, as large as in other countries, is actually divided among the entire cabinet.

If Australasia were a democracy, such a system would have many drawbacks.

First of all, there is the issue of inconsistency, and the cabinet ministers can unite to resist the prime minister's rule, and the cabinet ministers are fundamentally not the same as the prime minister.

Because all cabinet positions are elected independently, this means that cabinet members may be enemies or friends with each other, or they may be strangers who have never known each other.

This shows the importance of Arthur. The Cabinet is accountable to Arthur and the Royal Council, which in turn has complete control over the Royal Council.

This means that Arthur is in complete control of the cabinet, and Arthur is the highest point of state administration.

The current cabinet government can be divided into three factions, the first of which are the former colonial prime ministers. With some prestige from their former colonial days, they occupy several important departments in Australasia and are one of the most powerful factions in the Cabinet Government.

The second group is the cabinet members who are elected by the common people. These include Agriculture Minister Henris, Transport Minister Conlait, and Medical Minister Willie.

Most of these people have a higher loyalty to Arthur, and they are real pragmatists, and they really want to make some political achievements.

The third faction was appointed by Arthur and was completely loyal to Arthur's cabinet ministers.

In fact, the number of people in this faction is not large, and it only controls the two departments of defense and finance.

But these two ministries are precisely the most important of the Australasian cabinet government, one representing military power and the other financial power.

While Kent, who is defense minister, and Roger, who is finance minister, are not keen on vying for power, no one can deny their position in the cabinet government.

Even Prime Minister Evan was reluctant to clash with Minister Kent and Minister Roger, who represented Arthur in the Cabinet government.

Compared to other countries, Australasia's political parties are much less powerful.

First, all legal political parties in Australasia are subject to the supervision of the Royal House.

This oversight is not in name, the Royal House has the power to supervise, punish, declare legal and incorporate, declare illegal and forcibly dissolve political parties.

This also means that the Royal House has the power of life and death over all political parties, and political parties cannot make much of a splash in Australasia.

Second, disguised bribery such as political donations is not allowed.

Australasia has an electoral federation that oversees all elections, which is established and overseen by the Royal House and the House of Representatives.

The members of the Electoral Federation are composed of the Royal Family, the Cabinet Government, the Royal House and the House of Representatives, which are directly accountable to the Royal Family and are subject to the supervision of the Royal House and the House of Representatives.

The only way for political parties to obtain legitimate development funding is to call on voters to donate to electoral federations.

Seventy per cent of all money received by the Electoral Federation will be distributed according to the proportion of seats held by the parties in the House of Representatives, and the remaining thirty per cent will be divided equally among all legal political parties.

You must know that because the political parties do not have much power, even the United Party, which currently occupies the most seats in the House of Representatives, only occupies 24 percent.

This means that bribery by capitalists is almost impossible.

While political parties may receive the lion's share of the donation, it will never exceed 25 percent.

This also makes the political donations that are common in other countries in Australasia turn into common development, and while developing themselves, they are also supporting the enemy.

This provision made the major political parties uncomfortable, but because they were supervised by the Royal Parliament and the election was also interfered by the Electoral Federation, they had to grit their teeth and accept it.

As for the matter of taking bribes in private, the political parties do not have the courage to do it.

Don't underestimate the level of regulation by the Royal Parliament and the Electoral Federation, coupled with the enactment of the Electoral Law and the Political Parties Law, which put an end to this practice with draconian laws.

Arthur's punishment for election bribery is quite severe, once discovered, not only will all illegal gains be confiscated, but the political party involved will directly declare it illegal and forcibly dissolved, and its main members will not be allowed to participate in elections of any scale in Australasia, and say goodbye to political career completely.

It's just a political punishment. For a person, he or she will be tried according to the amount of money collected, ranging from imprisonment to life or death.

In addition, the capital of Australasia is still very weak, and except for the royal consortium, there is no capital that can challenge the government, and it does not even have the guts.

Despite these constraints, the current election funding for major political parties in Australasia is low, and most of it comes from voluntary political donations from Australasian people.

However, although such donations are relatively frequent, the amount is really not very large, and the cumulative annual donation is only less than half a million Australian dollars, and even the most popular United Party at the moment can get a budget of no more than 100,000 Australian dollars a year.

Although it seems to be a lot, 100,000 Australian dollars of this is from Arthur's support.

Without Arthur's $100,000, the major political parties would have faced much worse financial positions.

Of course, Australasia's current thriving prospects are also one of the reasons for the limited size of political parties.

The pace of development in Australasia is very satisfying for Australasian people, and the common people are content with their own lives, so naturally they have no idea to participate in politics.

There is a lack of support from more low-level civilians, which is the main reason why the major political parties are not large and their support is not very high.

The first is to ask for support!
