After Magers retired, the New Party Committee initiated a reform. Things that seemed unrelated were actually related.
During his reign, his personal influence was enough to cover some opinions and dissent within the new party. It can be said that as long as it is something he decides, it is impossible not to pass it in the committee.
The entire new party committee structure is to serve Maggs, ensuring to the greatest extent that when Maggs makes major decisions, no one will interfere with his decisions.
After his retirement, the empire entered the post-Magus era, and the new party committee began to re-adjust the organizational structure to ensure that within the new party, the inner-party committee was the largest and most authoritative stratum, and even the new party leader had to step aside!
This is also the reason why Powers is most dissatisfied. He seems to be the next Maggs, but no, he is just put in a cage.
The current structure of the New Party Committee consists of the leader of the new party, a chairman of the new party committee, two vice-chairmen as the highest level, holders of important positions in the party and state governors as the second level, and then divided according to the hierarchy within the party, and finally divided into five a class.
Generally, when decisions are made on certain issues where there are disagreements, voting will be conducted in a bottom-up manner, but they came up with a "points system."
To put it simply, the lowest member votes by adding one point to the object they vote on, followed by two points, three points, five points and ten points.
The final voting results are compared according to the cumulative results of scores. In their words, this increases the leadership, dominance and authority of the top leaders while also taking into account fairness.
In order to ensure that Powers would not cause any trouble during the restructuring process, they told Powers that in principle, the chairman of the committee would not conduct any votes during the implementation process.
This sentence touched Powers. First of all, there was only one other vice-chairman who firmly stood on the aristocratic faction. Vice-chairman Dolly belonged to the Magers faction, which can also be said to be a neutral faction. She can be fought for.
In addition, the chairman does not vote in principle, and he has already tied with the aristocratic faction in terms of high-end power. Next, in the class of governors and important party positions, most governors are members of the aristocratic faction, and members of the civilian faction Only when he can work within the party, he has obvious advantages.
Because the governor and the mayors of some developed cities will not stay in the imperial capital all day doing nothing, absentee voting is also a voting rule and counts as an automatic abstention.
On the contrary, members who hold positions within the party will basically stay and work in the imperial capital, and they have become Powers' biggest supporters.
Then, when divided down, the strength is relatively balanced, but overall, the difference is not particularly huge.
In the past year and a half, the new party has launched five important voting projects, of which Powers' side won twice and lost three times.
Those three failures were also the result of Powers believing that there was no need to compete and did not lobby. He initially believed that the new mechanism was very reasonable. The only thing that dissatisfied him was that among the new party groups after the restructuring, the one with the greatest authority was no longer leader, but the leader of the new party plus the three chairpersons and vice-chairmen of the new party committee.
He lost his "sole" authority, and through this he became increasingly dissatisfied with some of Maggs' practices before his retirement, though he never showed it.
People always talk about the post-Magus era, but in this post-Magus era, Magus's influence has not decreased much. His influence on the empire is too terrible and has affected it for too long, even though he has Even after he retired, people still can't help but think of him when they face important decisions.
After the meeting, the huge circular multi-story conference hall was not crowded or full. Some members with important work did not rush back. With Dori's great support, it was no longer a big problem.
Immediately afterwards, the chairman of the committee announced the content of the meeting, as well as some items that needed to be voted on, including the vote on the acting governor of Ambluo State.
Most of the members who came back from other places to attend this meeting also came back for this vote.
After all, if you want to go further on the political stage, you must have some friends and members. This is a must and a basic need. The number of participants in this meeting is already the largest among major non-party meetings.
After more than three hours, the two vice-chairmen took turns reading out some intra-party decisions and some less important voting agendas. The last item on the agenda has begun, the voting on the nomination of acting governor.
"Based on our comprehensive consideration and evaluation results, the committee believes that the organization members mentioned below have been included in the voting list. They are..." Looking at Dolly's back, Powers was very much looking forward to the outcome of this vote.
He glanced at Schnoder, who was sitting in the meeting seat. The latter was discussing in a low voice with the people around him. That was how his small group could add more than twenty points to the voting result.
After Dolly finished reading, the first round of voting began. The results of the vote were a bit surprising. Schnoder did not have an advantage, even when Vice Chairman Dolly also voted for Schnoder.
There will be three rounds of voting. If the results of the three rounds are consistent, then this will be the final voting result.
If the results of the three rounds of voting are inconsistent, two rounds of supplementary voting will be held, and the winner of the three rounds of voting will be the final vote. If there is no winner of the three rounds of voting, the voting will continue to continue down to the next two rounds.
If there is still no winner after seven rounds of voting, the vote will be postponed to the next meeting, and more new party members will be recalled for a second vote.
This is not a joke, and there is no joke in politics. Any decision is related to the future development of a party. It cannot be careless, nor can it be voted blindly to cater to the preferences of a few people.
After the results of the first round of voting came out, Powers couldn't sit still. He voluntarily left the podium and walked towards Schnoder. This was a method to clearly tell others that he supported Schnoder, and it was within the scope of permission.
After he and Schnoder spoke a few words, Schnode and the people around him began to go to those members who had not voted for him before and began to lobby, which was also in line with the meeting's charter.
As long as they can convince others to vote for them and get those people on their side, the results of the vote will be valid.
During this period the committee chairman went to the restroom, and before returning he made a phone call to Maggs to explain the situation.
When he returned to the meeting, he took a ten-minute break and the second round of voting began.
The voting result this time was completely different from the first time. Schnoder became the winner of this round of voting with a very large advantage. Then during the break, everyone began to wander around to lobby and consolidate current situation.
In short, after more than two hours of the fourth round of voting, Schnoder won the final decision with three wins. He will become the acting governor of Ambiro State and preside over the daily work of Ambiro State while Dulin is in coma.
Powers breathed a sigh of relief. He watched the calm-looking chairman leave the table, smiled with his lips pursed, and then strode towards Schnoder.
"Congratulations, Schnoder, you won!" The almost undisguised statement made some members of the aristocratic faction look askance. This also made the members of the civilian faction feel a kind of stimulating excitement. They all surrounded Schnoder. Congratulations to him.
Schnoder did not become arrogant because of this. He bowed slightly and saluted, then stretched out his hands to hold Powers' palm tightly, "This is all thanks to your nomination."
