Chapter 23: Cab Government
Trantor: 549690339 |
June 23,1900, Australian National Government Building.
This is the third day since Arthur returned from White Ind, and it is also the final election day for the nned Cab Government.
For Australia, this is an extremely important day. Australia will soon give birth to its first official cab government, and Australia’s transformation from a colony to a Duke’s Territory will also usher in a phased sess.
For Arthur, this is also a very important day. After confirming the official members of the Cab Government, he can start building aplete government and formte ns and take action for Australia s future development.
Eight o’clock in the morning, the vast majority of MPs have already arrived at the entrance of the Administrative Building, waiting quietly for the doors to
open.
For the lucky ones among the MPs who have been selected as candidates, this day is definitely a day worth looking forward to.
Once they continue to be lucky and seed in the next vote, they will truly rise to the top of the Australian political arena.
Even those MPs who failed in the first round of voting are quite expectant.
Although they are not eligible to participate in the election this time, they can brag to the outside world in the future that this cab government was voted for by their votes.

With a crisp sound from the wooden door of the Administrative Building, this century-old building is about to start its day’s work. N?v(el)B\\jnn
There was no guard to lead the way this time, but these MPs were already familiar with the route, and they walked quietly to the meeting room on the top
floor.
Some officials are currently working in this Administrative Building, but due to the temporaryck of formal candidates for the core cab, the current government’s duties are only to maintain stability and security, without too many development ns.
As all the MPs took their seats, Arthur also walked in under the escort of several guards and sat in the central position.
“Everyone, I know you are looking forward to the official members of the
Cab Government, and I am looking forward to it. Now, let us formally start the election of cab members.” After looking around and finding that everyone’s faces were filled with anticipation and excitement, Arthur said with a smile.
“You have a list of cab positions in your hands. Fill in the name of the candidate you think is most suitable after each position. When you have filled in all the names, just hand the list to the guard next to you,” Arthur exined
the rules.
“But I must remind you, the cab elections are very important for Australia, and I hope you can follow your heart and not your interests.” After Arthur’s final warning, the cab voting officially began.
To prevent idents, Arthur chose to continue to supervise on-site instead of leaving some MPs private space like the first meeting.
This also instantly discouraged some MPs who wanted to exchange ideas, frowning and looking bitter at the list on their desks.
Because Australia had just been established, the Australian political arena is far less chaotic than those in European countries.
This also led to most elections in Australia being quite pure, following their innermost thoughts rather than being influenced by the outside world.
However, this is also the most difficult for some MPs. Because of their original status as ordinary people, they often lose judgment or be confused when faced with important choices like this.
But for the majority of MPs, they had already decided who to support before today, and now they are writing with godly skills, and they soon finished the list on the table.
The rules for the first round of voting are that you cannot write your own name, and the rules for the second round of voting are that you can only write the names of the candidates, and the candidates cannot write their own names.
Such a rule is actually to avoid confusion in the voting. After all, in the unfamiliar situation, if they can support themselves, it is believed that arge part of them will choose this option.
About half an hourter, Arthur looked at the people who had basically stopped writing, smiled and said, “Well, it has been half an hour, and I believe everyone has written almost everything. I will give you a few more minutes to check your list. Once you have confirmed that it is correct, hand it over to the guardse We will determine the final candidate of the Cab before noon.”
Seeing Arthur say this, some MPs who have not yet determined their candidates hurriedly started to write, choosing the eye-catching candidates they saw and writing them down.
In a few minutes, the guards began to collect the lists.
The next counting process is rtively simple but also rtively cumbersome. The guards need to count the highest number of votes for each position and then publish the results, which will be the final candidate for the cab position.
Australia has preset ten departments: Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Public Security Department, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Medical care, Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Agriculture. There are a total of thirty candidates and one hundred and ny-eight voters.
After working hard for more than an hour, the guards have finally counted the final results and handed them to Arthur.
This list surprised Arthur. It not only contained many familiar names but also several strange names. Even before this, Arthur had never heard of these
names.
This indeed means that the randomness of this election is significant, and it does not mean that those who originally held high positions or were well- known in the political arena can be sessfully elected.
Holding the list, Arthur didn’t sell the suspense but announced, “Gentlemen, it’s time to announce the list. The winner of the Australian Cab Government Minister of Agriculture is—Henris Klee!”
Yes, it was Henris who had chatted with Arthur. Arthur was also surprised when he saw this name.
Unexpectedly, this small official of the City Council could break through the siege all the way, not only entering the House of Commons but also sessfully being elected as the first cab government Minister of
Agriculture.
“The Australian Cab Government Minister of Industry is served by Pierre Silvio Berlusconi!” Arthur continued to announce.
Pierre Silvio Berlusconi is the Governor of West Australia and one of the most prestigious people in Australia.
Arthur feels relieved to have him serve as the Minister of Industry, which is rtively important for Australia.
“The Minister of Transportation is served by Conwright Dianno.”
This is also a rtively familiar name, the first man who talked to Arthur in the
State Parliament.
