During Philip's tenure in Parliament, the power of Parliament was considerable, which placed great restrictions on Adelaide's power.
Some people are strict with others and lenient with themselves. Since Philip is fond of power, he will probably not be able to stand the constraints of Congress after becoming prime minister. Even this time he proposed to take back the power of Bloemfontein and Cape Town, which was a test by Philip.
, if Buck doesn’t handle it properly, Philip will get worse next time.
This is not Philip targeting Buck, to be precise, no matter who is the Speaker, Philip will target him.
Even for Roark and Philip, it is normal for them to make some small moves.
Rock's worries soon became a reality. On January 10, Vern Hansa, a member of Congress from the Transvaal state, formally proposed a bill, proposing to cancel the capital status of Bloemfontein and Cape Town and transfer all
Full power returned to Pretoria.
This proposal was shelved by Buck and was not discussed openly in Congress at all.
What is certain is that MPs in Orange and Cape will oppose it.
There are actually many people who support Fern Hansa. For example, MPs from Nyasaland will be very dissatisfied. Even marginalized cities like Bloemfontein are the capitals of southern Africa. Los Angeles
How is it different from Bloemfontein?
Not even Los Angeles, even Port Edward is a level above Bloemfontein.
If cities in southern Africa are to be rated, Pretoria and Johannesburg, Los Angeles, Port Edward are undisputed first-tier cities, Cape Town, Salisbury, Kimberley, Lourenço Marquez are second-tier cities, Bloemfontein and
Victoria St. George is about the same, third tier at best.
Port Elizabeth is not included. Port Elizabeth has not yet been officially integrated into Southern Africa and is not eligible to participate in the selection.
"Why can't we discuss it openly? As a member of Parliament, I am qualified to propose motions." Fern Hansa, like Buck, is a member of the Transvaal.
"Congressman Hanse, I don't care what your purpose is in proposing this motion, but now is not the time to discuss this motion." Buck did not give Vern Hanse a chance to make trouble. Vern Hanse and Irving had a very good personal relationship.
"What purpose can I have? Of course I hope that Southern Africa will become better -" Vern Hansa's expression was exaggerated. All bills proposed by members of Congress must first be reviewed by the Speaker. The Speaker will consider them to be feasible.
submitted to Congress for discussion.
If more than five members submit a joint submission, it can be submitted directly to Congress for discussion, bypassing the Speaker.
"If you really want southern Africa to become better, then don't propose this motion at this time. You know what the consequences will be." Buck looked stern, which was actually a challenge to the speaker's authority.
"Okay, I will get more congressmen to agree, and then jointly submit this proposal." Vern Hansa did not give up, and it was not only Vern Hansa and Irving who were waiting to see Buck's misfortune. Don't forget that Buck is Chinese.
Southern Africa is a country founded by white people.
Again, although the number of Chinese in southern Africa has far exceeded the number of whites, and the Chinese have also made great contributions to the rise of southern Africa, there are always people who are unwilling to face this and accept this reality.
In the eyes of most white people in southern Africa, Rock's current status was achieved through his solid military exploits and his swords and guns.
When Buck serves as Speaker of Congress, it is difficult to convince the public, including those members of Congress who voted for Buck, and deep down they may not be willing to do so.
After Philip stepped down as Speaker, Aiden and Owen were competing with Buck for Speaker.
No one wanted to see the Prime Minister and the Speaker being father and son, so Owen was eliminated first.
The second person to be eliminated was Eden. Buck was supported by members of the Bechuanaland State of Rhodesia and Nyasalam as well as Lorenzo Marquez. The support Eden received was obviously not enough, with 17 abstentions.
.
These abstentions, as well as those who voted for Aiden, are theoretically Buck's opponents.
Rock was not surprised that this situation occurred.
There are still too few Chinese-American members of Congress in Southern Africa. When Chinese-American members can account for more than half of the members of Congress, those white members of Congress will give the Chinese the attention they deserve.
"Okay -" Buck didn't get angry, because being angry wouldn't solve the problem.
Looking back, the first bill that Buck submitted to Congress for consideration was that Congress should strengthen oversight of the federal government's use of funds and establish a corresponding oversight agency with specific responsibilities.
This proposal has been warmly welcomed by members of Congress. In fact, Congress has always had the power to supervise the federal government’s use of funds. The federal government’s budget is also reviewed and approved by Congress. However, when it comes to the specific use of funds, Congress has no control over the federal government.
The government lacks effective supervision, which is also a failure of Congress to a certain extent.
When Philip was the Speaker of Parliament before, some members also proposed a similar bill, but they did not get the opportunity to be discussed publicly in Parliament.
If you think about it, you can understand that Philip has always been the Prime Minister and it is impossible to create such an institution to restrict the federal government.
It is estimated that Buck will never have the chance to serve as Prime Minister in this life, so Buck is happy to strengthen the power of Congress. Excessive power of the Prime Minister is not a good thing for a country.
Of course, Congress itself has more drawbacks, and too much power is not a good thing for the country. A balance is needed between the two to form checks and balances.
On January 15th, Congress discussed Buck's proposal, and voted on it on the 18th, and it was unanimously approved!
That's right. Returning the stumbling block to the stumbling block and enhancing one's own strength is the right way.
The newly established department was called the Oversight Committee, and its main task was to supervise the use of federal funds. Buck had a dark heart and chose Terence Violet, a British-born Cape MP, as the chairman of the Oversight Committee.
"Look at what our Speaker has done. He has just taken office and has strengthened supervision of the federal government. Will the federal government have to report to Congress every penny it spends in the future?" Philip was obviously not prepared for Buck's attack.
, he seriously underestimated Buck's ability.
Buck was able to become Speaker of Congress not only with Rock's support.
If Buck only has a good relationship with Roque and does not have the ability to serve as speaker, then Roque will not support Buck as speaker.
To put it bluntly, Philip is a bit ambitious and short-handed. If the Speaker of Congress is also unreliable, then Roque will not be able to push Southern Africa forward even if he tries his best.
"This committee is more symbolic." Rock acted as a peacemaker from the middle, trying to ease the conflict between Philip and Buck.
"What do you mean?" Phillip is indeed old and his brain reaction is a bit slow.
"It's just supervision, no other rights. And I don't think this is a bad thing. Some of our officials are really outrageous -" Roque's words meant something else. While Southern Africa was going crazy all the way, its spiritual construction had not kept up.
The pace of material construction.
This problem actually arose during the World War. At that time, some companies exported products to Europe that were substandard or even fake.
This kind of situation is absolutely prohibited in southern Africa. The Ministry of Justice conducted an investigation at the time and found that these companies and some officials were inextricably linked. Governments at all levels of the federal government also abused public funds and corruption. In the final analysis, it is still
Lack of effective supervision.
There is no good solution to this problem. Human nature is still greedy after all, and there are some unspoken rules that must be followed, otherwise your reputation will be ruined.
To put it simply, the Pretoria City Council wants to build a road. No matter how much money the contractor spends to get the project, the bottom line is that the road must maintain quality and quantity, and it cannot become riddled with potholes beyond recognition in three or two months.
The same goes for building a building. Don't cut corners because the cost is too high. Instead, use whatever grade of cement you want. Just put as many steel bars into a pillar as you should. Don't be a supervisor during the day.
If you secretly smoke out your noodles at night, if quality problems occur during subsequent use, the federal governments at all levels will be held accountable to the end, and no one will be able to escape.
Nyasaland has done quite well in this regard. Many projects of the Nyasaland state government are undertaken by Christian. Christian is actually very sensible. He has made enough money that he will not be able to spend it all in ten lifetimes. Roque also
He is not a heartless person. As long as Christian is honest and does not cheat, Roque will keep Christian prosperous and wealthy.
"Catch him if he doesn't do it. You must be merciless when dealing with such people." Philip also has his own bottom line. The Matilda family is also one of the largest families in southern Africa. Philip has no financial desires and only wants to be able to
Write your name in the history of southern Africa and accumulate more prestige for the Matilda family.
Officials don't actually need to be corrupt or bend the law if they want to make money. There are actually many ways, and they are all normal channels, so even if you want to find fault, you won't be able to find fault with them.
It was only after he was knighted that Roque understood why so many officials had to carry out large-scale construction projects as soon as they took office.
There must be political achievements among them, and I’m afraid the more important ones are economic interests. Who would use bribery and acceptance of bribes these days? Just find any aunt or uncle to use as a white glove, and give away the money innocently.
made money.
"So power needs supervision. If any violations are really discovered, the federal government must step in to stop it. Congress does not have this power." Rock is not worried about the expansion of Congress' power. He is only worried about the federal government doing something wrong. Buck has no intention of talking to Philip.
In the fight for power, he, the Speaker of the National Assembly, can only make transitions. When Roque becomes Prime Minister, Buck will have to step down.
The white people in southern Africa probably cannot accept a Chinese serving as prime minister and speaker at the same time.
