532 Campaign

Yang Meikai herself knows that the chance of winning the election is relatively small. This www.biquge.info not directly related to the strength of the KMT, but rather to the fact that the vast number of Tang voters are not very interested in other democratic parties and people without party affiliation. In many constituencies, there was even an embarrassing scene in which some candidates of the democratic parties did not win a single vote, and finally in some constituencies had to hold divisional proportional elections, that is to say, if a constituency had to elect 25 parliamentarians, and there were a total of 50 candidates, of which five candidates were non-national revolutionary candidates, according to the proportion, then there should be non-national revolutionary candidates who fluctuated up and down on the basis of 2.5 people. In this way, even if the five non-NRA candidates receive far fewer votes than the other 45 NRA candidates in the election, the two with the highest votes of the five will be elected as MPs for their constituency.

Yang Meikai knows that his main competitor is not a candidate for the National Revolution. Although the district councillors are all non-full-time councillors, they only meet regularly to discuss local affairs. However, there are at least 15 members of the Long Beach District who have been elected to the district for many consecutive terms, and who have performed satisfactorily to the people of the district during their term of office, or who have had a positive image, or who have done practical things, and in short, their election is absolutely stable unless they withdraw from the election.

In contrast, the competition between the candidates of the National Revolution is a little more intense, and it is usually related to the candidate's unit and background, which is an unavoidable phenomenon. For example, a worker representative of a large state-owned enterprise with a scale of 10,000 people will inevitably be able to win the support of the voters of his unit, because he is the person who most directly represents the interests of his unit and comrades in the same industry. In contrast, those who work in small private companies, or those who come from less popular communities, suffer from innate votes. This is despite the fact that all candidates are strictly forbidden to canvass for votes. However, before the general election, each unit will take the initiative to put up slogans such as asking for support for the candidacy of a certain comrade in our unit for election as a member of our district, and these candidates often have relatively great prestige and popularity in their own units, so it is difficult for voters in their units to choose whether to elect him.

Since Yang Meikai obtained the lawyer's qualification, she opened a law firm by herself, and there are only seven people in the entire law firm, including the sweeping aunt, and it is impossible to compete with others.

But his real rivals are candidates from democratic parties who, like himself, are non-partisan or do not have much influence. It's not the same as the case in the other plane. The elites of some democratic parties such as the Jiusan and the Democratic League gathered, and the elites in the Tang Dynasty almost without exception entered the National Revolution, so what remained of the democratic parties were some crooked melons and cracked dates, and the voters naturally did not think much of it. In the past few years, we all know that only by entering the National Revolution can we have a head start and development, and we have the same opportunities, and young talents naturally want to join the National Revolution instead of other small parties whose main task is to play soy sauce.

Although Yang Meikai felt very unambitious and sad when he heard like this, he also had his own political ambitions and the spirit of serving the people. So I did my best to do everything I could.

Naturally, there isn't much that the candidates can actually do. Unlike the Western system under the money politics of later generations, the candidates were funded by various interest groups, and the 2012 U.S. presidential election cost six billion U.S. candidates from both parties, which has to be said to be both a great waste and a special kind of power rent-seeking. Therefore, in the parliamentary elections at all levels in Datang, any form of fundraising and political contributions is strictly prohibited. Even canvassing in private public places that is not designed is considered a violation of election law.

There are several types of campaigning that are sanctioned by the Election Commission and the Electoral Law: in the election column of a particular newspaper. Publish their own biographies and election manifestas, and express a series of views on the district, etc.; Speeches and debates of candidates at specific times on a particular radio station; Appearing at public events organized by the Election Committee and expressing opinions, etc.

In addition, on the billboards in the constituencies, the Election Committee displays large photographs of the candidates, as well as their main messages and political opinions, fairly and evenly distributed. Private individuals are not allowed to increase the number of billboards without authorization. Someone who has defended the law before has also been directly disqualified from running.

Sun Meikai is a self-recommended candidate for parliament, and he is congenitally weaker than many candidates, but Sun Meikai still has a certain degree of self-confidence. He is a lawyer by training, and his eloquence is quite good. Logical and responsive. This is not a big advantage when publishing a personal resume in the newspaper, but when it comes to broadcasting debates, Sun Meikai's performance is quite eye-catching.

In her speech, Sun Meikai first accused some deputies of not paying attention to the people's words after being elected, being mediocre, and achieving nothing, and being unable to effectively act as the people's interests and communicate with government departments and other institutions. Sun Meikai said that if he is elected, he will do his best to serve every voter in the district.

Although many of his words were generalized, he still made many people feel his sincerity, and after that, some people called his office and expressed their optimism and said that they would vote for him, which made him very excited.

Today is voting day, Sun Meikai is also very excited, he rushed to the polling station early in the morning, but saw that there was a long queue outside the polling station. He also saw a few other candidates in the line, smiling and shaking hands in exchange for greetings. At least everyone is still very friendly on the surface, unlike Western politics, Datang's election activities are forbidden to make groundless accusations against the privacy of opponents, and it is not allowed to attack each other's character, so even if everyone doesn't like each other or even hates each other, they must show due demeanor and self-cultivation on the surface.

The Tang people have formed an atmospheric national character, and people who seem to have no bearing will not be favored by people.

"This year, the turnout has to go up a little bit." Sun secretly estimated that there were multiple polling stations in the entire Long Beach area, but the voters should be relatively even.

When such elections were first held, many newcomers who did not have this awareness at all were shunned, so the turnout was quite low at that time. But later, everyone slowly got used to this form, and those who had not voted also began to be curious and itchy, and at the same time, coupled with the further propaganda of Datang Thought, the voter turnout also increased steadily.
