MTL - God’s Game I Am the Great Will of the Planet-Chapter 794 : Domination of Southern Xinjiang (20) The Spirit of Putney's Debate and Compromise Case

The Reform League's parliament was held in the Putney Theatre, so later generations called this debate the "Putney Debate".

The core and focus of the "Putney Debate" lies in the issue of suffrage in the upcoming new system. The representatives of both sides of the debate are Shiairi and Ji Weiluo.

As a citizen-born enlightener, Ji Weiluo once admired Siele, because he was the leader of the reform movement with excellent writing and eloquence. When Ji Weiluo was unemployed, it was by listening to the other party's speech. , so as to determine a new direction for his life and join the vigorous reform cause.

Shiaire also reciprocated to his admirer, and after the "June Uprising", he was promoted to a member of the Preparatory Parliament after the "June Uprising".

However, with the further development of the reform movement, Siale and Ji Weiluo had serious political differences, and the relationship began to deteriorate, and officially broke with the "Putney Debate".

It is the consensus of the Reform Alliance that the future members of parliament to represent the country will be elected in the form of elections, but there are differences in the election law.

Shiaire requires a property limit for electors. Only when their property reaches a certain level can they have the right to vote. If they want to have the right to be elected, they need more property. In this way, the right to be elected only belongs to a few businessmen. In the hands of the regiment, only some wealthy citizens have the right to vote.

This is also understandable. According to Shiairie's theory, the poor have a good conscience when they plan on the rich, and the poor show that they have not received a good education and are easily moved by various delusions. Therefore, they do not need to worry about national affairs and simply accept the Rich people with conscience can lead them.

Ji Weiluo objected fiercely to this, and his rebuttal gave Shiaire a headache. What was even more troublesome was that Ji Weiluo's speech style was obviously learned from himself.

"According to this standard, our militias, most of the militias belonging to the citizens will not even have the right to vote. Do you mean that these militias have no morals? Then why should they join the reform? If the citizens do not have any say, does the state Does the filing affect them?"

There is no way for Shiaire to answer this question directly, because armed militias are the source of strength to improve the alliance, so the best way is to avoid answering this question head-on and mess around in other ways.

"So is your election proposal alright? The right to vote requires such low property qualifications that all but the bottom dwellers who are wandering in the wilderness or unemployed can vote and be elected, so what will happen then? ?"

"The ratio of the rich to the citizens of our motherland is about 1:5. If the rich and the citizens become completely equal electors, then the result is clear, they will force the electors to make laws that suit their interests, pass all kinds of short-sighted Is it fair? It's the fairness of the mob! It's a short-sighted riot!"

The two sides had a heated debate on this issue, and neither could convince the other that the Reform Alliance did not want to split at this time, which would only make it cheaper for the nobles, so they negotiated a compromise proposal to bridge the conflict between the two sides as much as possible.

In order to ensure that the compromise is a real compromise rather than a split bill, the Reform Alliance has proposed the "compromise spirit". When the compromise proposed by the alliance is approved by two-thirds of the votes, all members of the alliance must abide by the compromise until the Compromise is passed.

Some people are fiercely opposed to the "compromise spirit", they think it is a kind of obligatory kidnapping. "No matter how many people agree to an unreasonable proposal, it is still an unreasonable proposal!" These opponents said this, but they could not stop it The "Spirit of Compromise" was passed, and only the last protest could be announced to withdraw from the Reform League.

There are two types of people who quit the Reform League. One is that they really don't like the "compromise spirit" and are unwilling to go against their hearts and agree to a proposal they don't like. These people have basically become neutrals in the parliament.

The other is because the position is too radical, knowing that the compromise passed by the parliament must be far from their own goals, so they withdraw from the alliance. After this group of people withdraws from the alliance, they form other alliances large and small on their own with those with similar positions. , but these alliances later began to implement the "compromise spirit".

In short, with the proposal of the "Spirit of the Compromise Case", the Reform Alliance ushered in the first wave of withdrawal from the alliance, but none of Shiairie, Ji Weiluo, and Warner quit, they all agreed to the "Spirit of the Compromise Case" , decided to stay within the alliance to fight the opponent.

The negotiation on the Compromise of the Improved Alliance went through a very difficult process, during which it almost had a miscarriage and ushered in a second division of the Alliance, but in the end, the "No. 3 Compromise" was reluctantly passed the day before the meeting.

Compared with the original demands of the two parties, the "No. 3 Compromise Plan" has been adjusted in various aspects. For example, the right to be elected is slightly lowered in Shiairi's standard, and the right to vote is greatly reduced to be close to Ji Weiluo's. In addition to introducing the concept of property weighting, the rich will have more voting rights than the poor.

After the end of the "September Uprising", the various clubs realized that the old days of occasional saloons between clubs were gone, and only like the Reform League, all clubs of the same tendency were united and established in the field. , in order to adapt to the struggle of the new era.

As a result, the Batiros Alliance spread all over for a while, many of them split from the reform alliance because of the "compromise spirit", and they accepted similar positions and formed a new alliance.

However, the proportion of these alliances is mostly negligible. Except for the reform alliance, the only real influential alliance is the noble alliance.

The noble alliance was an instruction given by Li Xini from the hospital bed. It was based on the enlightened nobles and formed after the annexation of the orthodox nobles. It was despised by the reform alliance as the old noble alliance.

When the time arrives on October 2, the fourth meeting of the Preparatory Parliament will be held as scheduled, and the major alliances will meet for the first time at the venue of the original Great Parliament. In order to determine the subject, namely how the upcoming new law should be introduced.

After an afternoon of discussion, the preparations for the parliament to pass the "No. 5 plan", that is, to hold a primary election from October 4 to 7, to elect a new batch of legal members who are preparing for the parliament, and then to discuss for about three months. Elections for the real parliament and upcoming new laws are discussed before this year.

By October 7, when preparations for the parliamentary elections were completed, the Reform Alliance won 67% of the seats and directly controlled more than two-thirds of the seats, but it was said to have complete control of the parliament.

The second largest alliance is the noble alliance of the old nobles, with 16% of the seats, and the remaining 17% of the seats are divided up by other alliances. Even if the noble alliance joins forces with all other alliances, it cannot defeat the reform alliance that wants to pass. Proposal, because the reform alliance this alliance has more than two-thirds of the seats.

As for the Atonaite nobles, they were the most tragic faction in this election. The Atonaite faction, which had one-third of the seats in the Provisional Parliament, accounted for only 2% of the preparatory parliament, and it belonged to one of the other alliances. Member, this news naturally made Lorraine grit his teeth, adding a bit of hostility to the preparations for the parliament.

After preparing for the election of the members of the parliament, the members began to discuss what should be done, that is, how to transform this country with a long history to become a brand-new country in line with their own minds, but there are different opinions on this. , that is, it is difficult to obtain consent even within the reform alliance, let alone prepare a parliament.

Therefore, Guan is preparing to promote the election rules of the parliament to the whole country, and it took a whole month and a half to discuss it, which was completely longer than the original estimate. This led many people to have no expectations for the outline of the constitution to be discussed before the end of this year.

At this time, the 44-year-old Mipoloka, a member of the Honorable Alliance, made a proposal that successfully saved the preparations for the parliament, that is, the new law does not need to discuss every detail in detail, but only the framework can be discussed and wait for the formal parliament. After it is established, let's discuss the details of the law, and the subsequent laws cannot exceed the provisions of this legal framework~www.novelbuddy.com~ This proposal was passed by the preparatory parliament with an overwhelming majority, so the parliamentarians changed from discussing new laws to discussing new laws This is the "mother law".

Since only the mother law was discussed, the progress was greatly accelerated. Even before December, all discussions were completed on the last day of November, that is, the "November Mother Law Outline".

In this "November Mother Law Outline", it is stipulated that a large number of feudal privileges are abolished, such as the right to judge lords, forest concessions, etc., to fully restore the enlightened policy of the Fauti II era, and affirm it in the form of the constitution.

As for the separation of powers, which is the focus of the debate, the outline only stipulates that the separation of powers should be implemented. The more specific implementation can only be discussed at the official meeting. After all, the Reform Alliance can unify the thinking to this point. Yes, if we want to continue to push forward, we will not be able to unify our thoughts.

More importantly, the "November Mother's Law Outline" imposed "temporary restrictions" on the nobility, that is, a significant reduction in the nobility's voting rights. Of course, the Reform Alliance promised that this was only a one-off, and the reason was to allow the nobility to learn and improve new ideas. , only reformist aristocrats have the right to vote, and their purpose is undoubtedly to continue to control the parliament in next year's general election.

After the "November Mother Law Outline" was sent, it was strongly opposed by the Honorable Alliance, but the Reform Alliance adopted the "compromise spirit" to make the voting of its own factions identical, and many other alliances also supported the Reform Alliance. Thus, the mother law passed easily with two-thirds of the votes in favor.

When the "November Mother Law Outline" was passed in the parliament, there was only one last link left before its realization, which was to get the signature of Celiti III. However, the problem was also here, Celiti III refused to sign it.
