The election model of the democratic system is also enough for Roque.

Southern Africa is better, the last time the Constitution was amended by the Parliament, the election of the prime minister was made every five years, and it was only tossed every five years, compared to the previous four years.

In this way, every five years, the leaders of the federal government have to focus on the election campaign, those in office want to keep their positions, those in the opposition want to come to power, everyone has to spend their main energy on the vertical and horizontal, how much energy can be put on the development of the country?

In order to win over votes, the candidates promised better than one before the election, but they could not fulfill it after being elected, causing the government's credibility in the hearts of the voters to go bankrupt, and in the long run, the election is ultimately worse than bad, and the voters can only choose one of the two equally bad people to vote for their votes indiscriminately, such a right actually has no meaning.

When the Federal Government of Southern Africa was formed, Philip's popularity was far less than that of Ade, so in the first election, Ade was undoubtedly elected Prime Minister of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, and then has been re-elected until now.

For this fact, Philip is clearly very unhappy.

The Matilda family is powerful in southern Africa, Roque, Henry, Owen, and some of the most outstanding young people in southern Africa are almost all members of the Matilda family.

It is now clear that although after the end of the world war, Ade, who led southern Africa to win the world war, reached an unprecedented peak in popularity, but as long as Philip could get Roque's help, then Philip was not hopeless.

The Liberal Party's headquarters in Pretoria is a four-storey granite building, and in Southern Africa, elevators are required for buildings of six floors and above, and the Liberal Party headquarters has only four floors, but because of the relatively high floors, three elevators have been installed, two for employees and one for senior management.

Now the Liberal Party headquarters is becoming more and more formal, and the security personnel are all black suits and uniforms, and they are not the kind of big road goods of cheap stores, at least high-end suits made by Itno.

The reception staff at the front desk are all young girls, two white Chinese, both glamorous and pure, and fully take care of each target group.

Roque used the elevator that the executives took to go directly to the fourth floor, and he certainly didn't need to make an appointment to see Philip.

"You have to think about it, the current situation is very bad, and it is very likely that there will be an economic crisis in a year or two, and whoever becomes prime minister will definitely be affected." Roque reminded Philip that now was not a good time to be prime minister.

"Hehe, Locke, I just want to give it a try, no matter how well I perform as prime minister, as long as I have been prime minister once, I have no regrets." Philip is not afraid of economic crises, and as Speaker of Parliament, Philip knows that the federal government has a plan to deal with the economic crisis, and even if Southern Africa will be affected by the economic crisis, then of all the countries, Southern Africa will be the least affected.

"Okay, I'll find time to talk to the Prime Minister." Philip had already said this, and Roque could only give in.

Although Roque is willing to help Philip, Roque definitely does not want this to affect his relationship with Ade.

Let Philip feel the pain of being prime minister, Roque is not worried about how much mistake Philip will make in the position of prime minister, if Philip is the prime minister, then Ade will most likely serve as the speaker of the parliament, with Ade staring, Philip has no chance to make mistakes, just like Philip is now supervising Ade, as long as Ade is not good enough, or is not timely, the Congress will immediately ask the prime minister to the Congress to explain.

The explanation is just a nice way to put it, and it should be that the prime minister is questioned by the parliament.

"Great, if I were Prime Minister, I would fight for greater autonomy for Southern Africa, for an equal footing with London, and for the Commonwealth to establish a tariff system, to further strengthen Southern Africa's position within the Commonwealth, to create better conditions for Southern African goods to be sold to the rest of the Commonwealth, and to integrate the Commonwealth and the United States to compete and further strengthen our Southern Africa's position in international affairs—" Philip gushed, he really wanted to make a big deal.

Unfortunately, when Philip becomes prime minister, he will understand that the prime minister cannot do whatever he wants.

Philip said these things, Ade has been doing, but sometimes the development of the objective world does not depend on personal will, Ade wants to fight for more benefits for southern Africa, sorry, Winston also thinks so.

Winston also wanted to fight for more for the British mainland.

Viscount Gladstone wanted to fight for more for Australia.

A certain saint in India also wants to fight for more benefits for India.

Canadians and New Zealanders also have their own demands.

But the cake is that big.

What to do?

If someone eats more, someone will definitely eat less.

"Philip, let's be realistic, you're saying that's great, but don't get the parliamentarians to vote for you." Roque doesn't call Dad, since it's a serious matter, then the personal relationship will be put aside.

Elections in southern Africa are not the same as those in the United Kingdom, where the leader of the ruling party automatically becomes a candidate for prime minister, and then becomes prime minister after confirmation by the king.

When the federal government of Southern Africa was formed, there was no clear system for the selection of prime ministers, and neither the Liberal Party nor the Progressive Party put forward candidates who would be convinced by everyone, and as a result, Ade of Southern Africa was single-handedly created as the prime minister of southern Africa.

At the end of Ade's first term, in the midst of the world war, when there were no elections, last year the parliament amended the constitution to decide that elections should be held every five years in southern Africa, and the next election would be held next year, in 1919, and the elected prime minister would begin his term in 1920.

Elections in Southern Africa require the votes of members of Parliament, who come from the states, and the number of MPs is determined every five years, depending on the population of each state, with a minimum of five and a maximum of ten.

Nyasaland now has five members of Parliament, two of whom are from the Liberal Party and three from the Nyasaland Party.

By 1920, Congress would begin to determine the number of members of Congress according to the population of each state, and the number of members of Congress in Nyasaland would certainly increase, while in a state like Orange, where the population was not increasing but decreasing, the number of members of Congress would be estimated to decrease.

No, Orange is now also five members of Congress, and the worst thing at that time is to remain the same.

That means Orange's voice is declining.

"As long as the lawmakers of the Transvaal, Rhodesia, and Nyasaland vote for me, then I will win." Philip must have more cards in his hand than these three states, and when Ade was working hard to govern the country, Philip probably spent most of his energy on wooing parliamentarians.

This is the root of democracy.

As he left the Liberal Party headquarters, Roque suddenly realized that if he ran now, he might have a chance to become prime minister.

Come to think of it, if Roque is willing to run, then there is no doubt that the votes for Nyasaland and Rhodesia will belong to Roque, and the other votes for the Transvaal will definitely belong to Roque.

After all, except for Cape and Orange, all the other states in southern Africa now have at least half of the proportion of Chinese, similar to Bechuana, Lorenzo Marques, and Basutolan and Dias, the proportion of Chinese is more than 70%, which means that Roque can get at least half of the votes.

Steady!

However, Roque does not want to run for election now, and being prime minister is indeed a high authority, but who knows what it feels like, in Sidney Milner's words, Ade never slept before 1 a.m., and often had to get up at 6 a.m.

Not to mention that the old man doesn't sleep much, the old man also needs enough sleep to ensure his health, so it's good to let Ade retire and rest, if it goes on so hard, Ade's body can't support it.

Ade's personal doctor is still Su Xian, Su Xian has been conditioning Ade's body, but because Ade's work is too busy, the effect is not very good, and Ade's body has continued to deteriorate over the years.

Back to the Ministry of Defense, although the Ministry of Defense now has three deputy ministers, there are still many things that need Roque to make decisions.

The Navy wanted to fight for money to order aircraft carriers from Edward Shipyard that really belonged to Southern Africa.

The Air Force also wants money to completely replace the "Galewind" fighter whose performance has fallen a little behind, and the Nyasaland Air Group has now launched the "Gale" fighter, which has a comprehensive performance improvement of about 30 percent compared with the "Gale Wind."

After the end of the world war, the army was greatly reduced, and the number of troops of more than one million people has now been reduced to less than 50,000, and you must know that during the world war, the technical units of the Southern African Expeditionary Force exceeded 50,000 people, and those artillery and armored units that have relatively high requirements for quality can not be temporarily conscripted and trained to form combat effectiveness.

The Ministry of Defense has set up a naval academy and an air force academy on the basis of the Army Academy, but because of insufficient funds, the construction of each academy has not yet met the requirements, and now the Air Force has to use the flying club to teach, and the Navy wants to send officers who need training to study in the United Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, there is still no money, and Roque can't always pay out of his own pocket to build defense for southern Africa.

Then Roque is too great.

ps: What did I do, I gave you a feeling that I was in debt and didn't worry, I felt it in my heart, so I decided to hang the head and stab the stock - and this water is not the problem, the main line of this book is to expand the living space of the Chinese and improve the status of the Chinese in the international community, not the First World War, these plots now are also serving the main line, it is really not a flood, the United States has such a big advantage, and it will take two world wars to successfully ascend to the throne-
