Chapter 1894: Open and Honest Three
Ruprecht's proposal to use the adult natural population as the basis for sharing members of the Imperial Parliament avoids the problem that Barth said that the Bavarian election population is too large. If Germany has a total population of 100 million, the parliament There are a total of 1,000 members of the upper house, Prussia has a population of 50 million, and Bavaria has a population of 30 million. According to the population ratio, Prussia can be allocated 500 members of parliament, and Bavaria can be allocated 300 members of parliament. The number of these 300 parliamentary seats will not change depending on whether Bavaria has a population of 1,000 or 20 million. What really affects the votes is only the population base, and has nothing to do with the people who have votes. In this way, Barth’s concern It will not exist, because the aliens in the new population of Prussia are also counted in the population base. As for whether they have the right to vote, it is up to each state to decide!
"This idea is very good and very fair. I apologize for my previous recklessness, Your Royal Highness." Barthes said sincerely. Because the method proposed by Ruprecht really does not have the idea of profiting for himself. In politics, Bavaria, which is the dominant party, can propose such a fair disposal method. The risk of confrontation is greatly reduced.
"We also agree." Prince Albert looked at the Grand Duke of Baden, and after the latter nodded slightly, Prince Albert also agreed. Then the King of Saxony and Albrecht, Grand Duke of Württemberg also agreed. After the clerk wrote the relevant records and signed by the representatives of the states, the first resolution of the meeting was finally formed.
In less than an hour, Germany's post-war 20-year parliamentary system was basically finalized, and the rest is some tedious details, just hand it over to the people below, and the real high-level will not go again There are a few rules.
In addition to balancing domestic political forces, the original intention of the prince to propose this plan is also a modification of the federal parliamentary system. After all, in the Federal Parliament, no matter how poor a state is, even a state with an area without 4 digits has a vote in the Federal Parliament. This is really unfair. When Germany was only 570,000 square kilometers, in order to Politically stable, this is okay, but now that the area of Germany has increased to more than 1.5 million square kilometers, it would be too much for a small state in the Bundestag to have one vote. The number of people represented by this vote is too low. You must know that the total number of votes in the Federal Parliament is only 58 votes. This vote must represent at least 1.5 million people, and how many people are there in those small states?
However, the federal parliament should not move lightly. It is not easy to increase the number of votes in the Federal Parliament. Then we can only start with the Imperial Parliament. Anyway, under normal circumstances, the Federal Parliament will not take the initiative to propose proposals. As for whether Ruprecht's arrangement for the number of members of the Imperial Parliament can be accepted by states like Württemberg and Saxony? Of course it is possible, because the population of these two kingdoms is not small, so their votes will not be small. As for the dozen or so small states? How should I put it, their population is too small, the minority must obey the majority. Anyway, the few companies that came today can already represent more than 85% of the area and population of Germany. So what if they disagree?
With the conclusion of the first resolution, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Although there were some twists and turns, everyone finally reached a consensus on some key issues. After the parliamentary system is established, then the issue of legislation will be resolved. However, at this time, there will always be someone who will break the current relatively harmonious atmosphere. When everyone is subconsciously unwilling to propose a meeting, the former Army Colonel Buhler, who has been silent all this time, suddenly speaks.
"His Royal Highness, your proposal is very successful from a political point of view,
Because you have the best interests of almost everyone. And your disposal is very fair to the Kaiser, Bavaria, or our parliament faction, but what I want to say is that you only did not consider efficiency. I have already seen the situation of the future imperial government, the three-level parliamentary system, each resolution needs to pass three reviews, and states, political parties, and prestigious individuals may put a certain resolution on hold. In the future, we may spend 70% of our energy on debating in Parliament for approval. "
"I admire you very much, not because of your identity, nor simply because of your achievements, but because of your attitude and efficiency in doing things. You do things vigorously, can eliminate all interference, and complete everything with the highest efficiency. Bavaria It is almost possible to have today's glory under your leadership, but now, you have set layers of restrictions for the development of the empire in the future imperial parliament. I can understand your purpose. But I I have to regret to say that you have betrayed your original intention, or do you still only care about the efficiency of Bavaria, without considering the empire?" Colonel Buller said.
"Fuck, isn't this kid crazy?" Not only the Grand Duke of Baden, Prince Albert, but even Albert and Barth, who are allies of the Social Democratic Party, feel that a certain rope in Buhler's head today is Isn't it broken?
Along with Ruprecht's growth, in addition to his military and political talents being admired by the world, there is another not-so-good reputation accompanying the prince. In some private talks, Prince Ruprecht There is another title, that is, the one who will never forgive! All the people who had opposed Ruprecht, whether it was Krupp at the beginning, the German Admiralty, or the Russians who later fell out with the prince over the purchase of warships, and even the emperor William of the Empire, all fought against Ruprecht once. In the second contest, he was defeated by the prince.
The so-called shadow of a famous tree, when the name is widely spread, is itself a kind of deterrent. Even General Crook, who holds a heavy hand, can sometimes determine the fate of the Kaiser. When facing Prince Leopold, he admitted that some words were only dared to be said to Prince Leopold, but absolutely not to Ruprecht!
Among all the people attending the meeting today, Mr. Buhler is the most unrooted one. Who here has been in German politics for more than ten years? The Grand Duke of Baden and Prince Albert are nobles, and Little Mao Qi is also a descendant of a famous family. He was already at the pinnacle of the empire when he was young. Although Albert, Barthes and others came from humble beginnings, they are still big bosses after decades of hard work, but what about Buhler? This dude was just a retired officer a few months ago. In the eyes of others, this is the so-called ignorance of depth?
