The vote on Odega temporarily performing the leadership duties for Powers was basically passed in one go. Dulin noticed that more than 90% of the people in the entire venue raised their hands in favor, and there were still some people. No hands were raised.
Not raising your hand does not mean you must vote against it. In such a relatively internal but serious vote, three votes will be held with the themes of "yes", "no" and "abstain", and the votes will be finally counted.
If the vote is on a more important and serious political item, the vote counting method will be used, which is easier to count and error-free. Of course, the current vote does not need to be so formal.
Among those who are qualified to vote, there are some very special people who do not have much actual power, whether within the party or outside the party, and do not have much specific work, but they are important to the entire committee. is an integral part.
Some people call them the "last resort of decency", and others call them "the dictator's fig leaf". In fact, their job is very simple, that is, to "go against the trend"!
When the majority of people choose to approve, they choose to oppose. In some special votes, such as this vote, they will abstain from voting.
This is to reflect the lofty free will within the party. Everyone has their own independent will and the right to make their own judgments and choices. Although many people know that this is a joke about riding a horse, those people in society and people The bottom likes it.
What these people in society don't like is that all powerful people are on the same side. Don't look at those politicians who clamor all day long for wasting taxpayers' money and spending their time, energy and taxpayers' money on It has led to political strife, but they still like it like this in their hearts.
A clear and obviously disunited power-solidified class may not allow them to gain anything from it, but it can make them feel at ease without even knowing it and without being able to explain the reasons.
The three votes ended quickly, and Ms. Dolly's proposal was passed with 87% in favor, 9% of abstentions and 4% of invalid votes - those who did not raise their hands three times. Members who have clearly abstained from voting but did not vote will be considered invalid. When the final number of total voting participants is counted, this part will be removed.
Everyone knew for a long time that the first item of voting would pass. Regardless of whether they were willing to obey the group's decision, this matter must pass.
A reliable, socially reputable leader would be a boon to any New Party member's current job; conversely, a vacancy in this role would cause a terrible state of instability.
Since there was no second candidate, His Excellency Chairman Odegaard advanced directly.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency Chairman..." Dolly took the lead in shaking hands with Odegaard. According to her status in the party, she should have been the second to shake hands with Your Excellency the Chairman, but she got there first.
This was not in line with the rules, and at the same time, it gave a clear hint to everyone under the rostrum. As for what the hint meant, everyone knew it because the chairman extended his hand.
This action is very critical. If the Chairman just nods to show that he understands and does not reach out, the next vote will be a result.
He stretched out his hand and shook Dolly's hand. The next vote would have another outcome.
Many people are advocating not to over-interpret political behavior, and there are not too many political behaviors that require people to interpret. But in fact, this kind of political behavior that really requires people to use their brains happens every day and every moment.
The handshake between the two was short, lasting less than five seconds, but it was enough to show a lot of things. What followed was congratulations and exchanges between the second in command and Odega, and everything seemed to be no different.
Odega stood up after briefly thanking the people around him. He bowed slightly and saluted to the members of the organization who participated in the meeting and voting in the conference room. "I am very grateful to everyone for their trust in me. I will try my best to I will do my best at what I have to do, thank you, thank you all.”
After making the final decision, Dulin looked at Odgar, the newly minted leader. He acted very calmly, but from his smiling eyes and slightly upturned corners of his mouth, it could be seen that this old gentleman must be very calm at this time. happy.
No one will appear depressed when his power is further expanded and his status is further improved. It is impossible for such a person to appear.
Dolly then went on to announce new nominations, as the chair of the committee was now vacant after Odegaard became the new party leader.
This position is not like the leader, which can be vacant for a period of time. Of course, this does not mean that the party leader does not have any work, but the main job of the committee chairman is to preside over the daily work arrangements within the party and issue various documents, which is very important.
Even though Odegaard didn't seem to have much movement before, he would sign a lot of documents every day and then hand them over to the two vice presidents to complete, so this position cannot be left empty.
Immediately afterwards, Dolly once again proposed to select a candidate for the chairman of the new party committee. According to the normal process, someone should nominate Dolly, and Dolly herself found a suitable candidate, a young cadre.
Compared with the nomination of leaders, there are obviously slightly more nominations and candidates for party committee chairpersons. This is of course for the sake of saving face. After all, the expression of free will is one of the main themes of the moment and cannot be ignored. .
After a series of near-miss votes, Ms. Dolly finally passed the vote successfully and became the first female chairwoman of a political party committee in the history of the new party committee and the entire empire.
It is conceivable that the feminists outside may have a collective climax tonight. Nothing can prove the remarkable achievements and future of the feminist movement more than such good news.
After Dolly's vote, it is time to nominate the candidate to replace the vacated vice chairman. In fact, according to the normal process, this nomination should be placed at the next meeting, and then nominated and approved under the chairmanship of the new committee chairman to express support for the new chairman. of respect.
However, considering the current difficulties faced by the new party and the time constraints, everyone has acquiesced.
Compared with the nominations and voting where you could still see the smell of gunpowder just now, the nomination of vice chairman seemed to have suddenly become deserted. No one stood up to nominate, as if the position of vice chairman was not popular and was not favored by people. focus on.
Most eyes were focused on Dulin. Schnoder, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle to Dulin's right, looked at Dulin with some emotion. He didn't know if Dulin had arranged for someone to nominate himself.
If not, he wouldn't mind making a cameo in a role that might look like a clown to some.
Power was really too tempting, especially after Schnoder had been to the West once. His desire for power was completely aroused. When he was about to make a move, Dulin stood up.
He held the sword collar with both hands and tugged it to make the clothes more appropriate and fit. He pushed back along the temples with one hand to make the hair neatly stick to his head. He raised his chin slightly, and seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He looked around with a downward look and said lightly, "I nominate myself!"
In a trance, it seemed as if a wave of air suddenly shot out from Du Lin's body, causing huge waves or ripples in people's hearts.
After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly and saluted, and sat back in the midst of everyone's attention.
It was Du Lin's decision to nominate himself. Compared to Odega and Dolly, who were nominated by others and were more reserved and low-key, Du Lin wanted to appear tougher.
Sometimes being tough doesn't necessarily make others 100% disgusted. You must know that toughness can sometimes be a reliable one!
What the new party lacks most now is a strong and reliable key member of the leadership to stand up and change the current situation of the new party. That's why Du Lin did this and nominated himself in an unmodest and even exaggerated and arrogant way.
The entire meeting hall was silent for several minutes before Mr. Odegaard coughed, disturbing the silence. "Does anyone else have a candidate to nominate?"
Indeed, it is not that these people really intend to compete with Du Lin for this position, but it is a kind of propaganda.
Just like when Dolly was running for president, there were some people who accompanied her. These people actually had no way of threatening Dolly, but they still asked people to come forward and nominate themselves. Why
In fact, accompanying someone on a run may not be a form of publicity.
It's like an auction. A rare treasure goes up in price between two bidders, and is eventually bought by one of them at a sky-high price.
People will never know that one of the two is actually not rich, or even very poor, but just because he accompanied him in an amazing process, people will think that he also has the strength to compete, but has bad luck. Some.
What those guys who nominate committee chairperson candidates need is this effect. When they need to raise their own status, they can tell others that they once competed with Dolly for the position of committee chairperson, but they were just so far behind. A trivial loss to Dolly, otherwise the chairman of the new party committee would now be his own.
This kind of talk can really scare people to death. Those who don't know - most people actually don't know the real inside story. They will only focus on this guy's certain aspects that are similar or even equal to the chairman of the New Party Committee, and that he Almost became chairman of the new party committee.
The things brought about by this can increase their popularity and prestige in society, and when necessary, these things can be transformed into Chi Guoguo's strength.
But now, something is not right about the situation, because the person who nominated Du Lin is Du Lin himself. If someone stands up to nominate someone again, it means that this person will have to compete with Du Lin in terms of attitude and stance.
We are really not afraid of fighting in the arena. For so many years, we have fought in the arena with people from the old party and with competitors within the party. If we were really afraid of this kind of competition, these people would have disappeared in the wave.
But this time the opponent in the ring was different. That person was Du Lin.
Holmes just left the imperial capital in embarrassment yesterday, and now he and Du Lin are going to take it on him. Isn't it too unwise
Many people were looking at Du Lin, thinking and hesitating. This dull atmosphere lasted for a few more minutes before it ended with Dolly's voice. Since there were no other nominated candidates, they directly went to the only candidate. vote.
The voting process was very pleasant. Except for the nearly 15% abstention and 6% invalid results that once again created history, Dulin can be said to have a complete victory.
When the results came out, everyone had to take the initiative to realize that a new era had begun.
Look at the people who gathered around Du Lin and congratulated Du Lin in high spirits. These people have formed the prototype of Du Lin's gang, and soon more people will join in to strengthen his strength.
There is no need to consider whether this will happen. Dulin currently holds the most terrifying cash flow in the world, and at the same time has extraordinary social influence. Although he is very reluctant and jealous, people still have to admit it. , Dulin may really be the most suitable person.
After the vote, Dulin took some people to his manor. Next, he would start to intervene in the party's work and arrange these people.
The first is Schnoder. There are still more than two months before the real handover, but Dulin can already step down from his post early, and then the work in Ambiluo State will be handed over to Schnoder.
Dulin was very reassured about this young man. Schnoder was a smart man. He had chosen the right path more than once to avoid danger. He knew very well what could and could not be done, and his future was bright. Only if he is stupid would he do something stupid.
The development of Ambiluo State is already on track. Even if Schnoder cannot innovate, as long as he can stick to what Dulin left behind, he will not worry about not having a good result in four years.
After Dulin told him some things, he asked him to leave first. He still had to gather his subordinates and then start accepting the governor's job, which all took time.
After Schnoder left, the only people left in the room were his own people in the true sense, and Dulin began to arrange more core tasks.
Early the next morning, the Empire Daily's front page headline, the largest photo printed, showed the calm and confident Dulin occupying the entire page, and this photo had a title called "Times!" 》.
In less than half a day, people throughout the empire and even outside the empire already knew the news. They knew that the new party had ushered in its youngest committee vice-chairman in history, who may also be the best or the worst. Vice Chairman—Dulin!
