Chapter 227 (2/2)
Every time the leader of the team is elected, those candidates always make a big speech in order to win the support of the people. And the support of the people is the use of the right to vote. The people can vote through the candidates' speeches and the things they promise to do to the people, and confirm the president who will be useful to you and the country. This is the obvious use.
The leader is elected, so he gains the trust of the people by showing himself. At this time, in order to guarantee his vote, he must guarantee his role to the people, so that he can be elected.
The people don't understand the candidates, and most of the ordinary people don't understand politics. It should be that most people in the world don't understand politics, and those who know how to govern the country are those who are well-educated and have enough ruling experience. It's like a neighbor telling you that you study medicine and he studies music, but few people can learn real politics.
However, now more laymen who don't understand have the right to do these things. What they can see is only the media reports, but not the real life of the candidates. How can they vote? Another canvassing, then the leadership will be controlled by a group of actors, no one will do anything and everyone will be like a mouth gun.
Strictly speaking, bribery is against the law, and canvassing can only be carried out in some ways within the regulations, so as to ensure the fairness of rich and poor candidates. In most countries, elections are conducted by individuals, so they have to spend their own money or invest. Under this premise, if the norms are too strict, the election can not go on.
But this is only the case in other places. China did not need the tool of election before, because China has its own social mechanism, which has been running for more than a thousand years. The complicated relationship firmly controls every aspect of a Chinese's life. Whether you are against it, support it, or ignore it, it's a response based on it. It's there, you can't treat it as not. With it, the upper class can achieve the same goal as the western countries.
This is still good. If a candidate wins by 99 to 100, but after winning, he only cares for the interests of the people who choose him. If other people want to rebel, it is a split of the country.
If there is a referendum, it will not necessarily represent the main demands of every piece of land. For example, on the issue of black slaves, if there is a referendum, the north will oppose it and the South will support it. If there are more people in the north than in the south, the bill will be repealed, but it is not necessarily conducive to the economic development of the south.
Therefore, local election has become the most feasible solution, that is, a force with similar situation will vote for the winner according to the total population. Of course, there will be unfairness and problems, so there will be the civil war. But generally speaking, this system is helpful to limit the unlimited expansion of public opinion of a large population force, and also limit the problems that may arise in the election.
At this time, many people went to select candidates, and the original dignitaries had already begun canvassing for votes, so that the seed players in their families could become candidates and participate in the election. However, those who can compete for the candidates are all former officials, and their desire for power makes them unwilling to give up. Before, they had been domineering, and the people dared not speak up. This time, they are in the top position again, and it is hard to say what will change.
To be a candidate for the city leader, you need to meet three conditions. One is a local born person with no criminal record and the support of at least 500 voters. Now those people are working hard to rebuild the city with the help of the Galactic Federation. They want to seize the opportunity and get the biggest cake.
