Section 332 Political System Structure

When administrative leaders monopolize administrative power and lack supervision, they will inevitably "privileges" themselves and then become dictatorial. This momentum was particularly obvious in the previous stage. Ma Vest does not think that there is any problem with controlling power in a small circle of a few people, but in terms of form, at least respect the voting rights of the masses. Now we simply throw the masses aside. In a society where social environment is stable and rulers have strong violent machines, the problem of doing this is not too great. It is very dangerous for groups like the Time Travel Group that have weak dominance and requires everyone to cooperate to develop. Not to mention the movements like the Maid Revolution, as long as someone engages in non-violent non-cooperation, large-scale slacking off work is enough for those in power.

To satisfy the masses' desire to participate in politics, there must be representative organs - the Senate, the Parliament, and the Upper House. No matter what it is called, it is necessary to maintain the stability of a group, and it is by no means a simple decoration. It also provides a channel for the public to vent and communicate. The maid revolution a few days ago was largely caused by poor communication channels. If the public's information can be conveyed to the Executive Committee in a timely manner, perhaps this movement will not be carried out.

The parliament has the power to decide major policies, which is an effective check and balance for the administrative organs with ever-increasing power. As long as the parliament is not overturned and reduced to rubber stamps, the executive department cannot do whatever it wants.

An Xi was talking freely: "...The representative organ can be said to be the basis of modern government. A mature modern government must have four parts: head of state, representative organ, administrative organ, and judicial organ. The representative organ is the core of all this! It is also the basic source of the legitimacy of the entire government. I propose to adopt the parliamentary prime minister system."

"From the reality of our time-traveling group, it may not work to implement the presidential system." Dong Shiye agreed, "The head of state must adopt the virtual position system, otherwise it will be difficult for the 500 people below to convince." Everyone will be worried about whether the head of state under the presidential system will use the power they have to become a dictator completely."

"I have an idea." An Xi said. His suggestion is that the head of state may adopt open qualifications. As long as they are travelers, they can run for election regardless of age or gender, and they do not need to obtain a final majority. A simple half of them pass is considered legal. The term of office is short and there is a restriction on re-election, which can satisfy the sentiment of the majority of travelers who "the emperor takes turns to do it and come to my house next year". Everyone has experienced the addiction of the head of state.

As for the treatment of the head of state, it may be better to set it higher, and the concierge level you enjoy is also the highest. Coupled with some special benefits, it is enough to attract many people to be interested in this.

"For example, he can choose the spoils first. He asked him to shout 'Thank you for your hard work, comrades,'" said the like.

"The problem is that even if a person can only work for one year, it will take five hundred years for all five hundred people to do. Some people still cannot enjoy it."

"Entertainment," An Xi is very good at using his brain. "It's not that everyone draws lottery or takes turns to do it. It's a real campaign. All methods such as speeches, leaflets, meetings, and posting campaign posters are open. Those who are willing to enjoy this will pay for the election by themselves, and those who are unwilling to do so can take a look at voting. It's also a kind of entertainment."

It is better to say it is a kind of consumption. Although Ma Qi despised An Xi, the idea he proposed was very constructive. Running for the head of state will consume a lot of energy and money from time-traveling people, and can also satisfy the vanity of some people, thereby achieving the role of internal "stability maintenance". It is really a favorable transaction.

In addition to the lack of necessary institutions, there are potential problems within the existing system. The first is the status of the executive committee in the Executive Committee. The position of Chairman of the Executive Committee seems to be very prominent, but his authority and responsibilities are not clearly stipulated, making Wen Desi appear to be just a convener of the meeting. His specific positions seem to be only the general consultant of the naval army and the consultant of the shipyard. In a sense, Mr. Wen is undermined within the existing system.

Of course, undermining does not mean losing influence. It is very clear that Wang Luobin's nomination for the mayor of the Sanya region was successfully approved in the Executive Committee - everyone knows that Wang Luobin is a close comrade-in-arms of President Wen, and Wang Luobin has been an executive member with no specific position for a long time after the D-D. Strictly speaking, it is just an advisor to the Workforce Energy Commission. This appointment obviously includes a supplementary element.

"So he resigned so frankly." Ma Qi thought to himself. He didn't know what happened in the executive committee office building that day, but judging from the reactions of the executive committee members when they came out, the movement did not seem to be beyond the expectations of the leaders.

After thinking about the past and afterwards, Ma Vest fully understood: It turned out that the maid revolution was not just a woman's problem. In the past, he just felt it slightly lightly and darkly.

No wonder the former executive committee showed no interest in the work of the preparatory committee and completely delegated power to themselves and their own group of people. It turned out that no one wanted to show too much involvement in the reshuffle of the organizational adjustment, so as not to make a statement in the future. Leading by a neutral, even a vest who had participated in the "opposition", wouldn't it fully demonstrate the "selflessness" and "democracy" of the executive committee's officials?

In this case, we need to think carefully about how to set up the new organization. It is not simply to take out the mature system and copy it. Ma Jia thought that, in addition to the position of chairman of the Executive Committee, which is not awkward and has no specific scope of authority, the biggest hidden danger is that the Planning Commission, as a department, has too much power. It is theoretically an equal-level organization with other committees, but in actual operation, the Planning Commission has the right to distribute materials and project approval power, which greatly enhances the voice of Ma Qianzhu, who is only one of the executive committees at the same level, in the entire Executive Committee. No ministries and commissions are more or less subject to the Planning Commission. Not to mention, building office buildings and adding office equipment cannot be established without approval of the Planning Commission, and they cannot be obtained.

The result is that although Ma Qianzhuo is only a member of the People's Committee, he is equivalent to a prime minister who does not have the title of Prime Minister in the entire executive committee operation. The work of the Planning Commission gradually exceeds its own work scope. This state greatly improves work efficiency in a short period of time, but is obviously not conducive to unity. In the long run, after the time travel group becomes bigger, the planning commission's approach of taking over everything will inevitably cause organizational expansion and reduce work efficiency.

It is best to have a certain decomposition of the work of the Planning Commission. Set up a position of prime minister to be responsible for the overall daily administrative affairs. After discussion, the preparatory committee decided to recommend that the political structure discussed by the conference adopt a mature and stable "parliament-prime" system. The Senate, composed of all the travelers, is the highest authority, holds a plenary meeting once a year. More than 90% of the travelers must attend the plenary meeting to be considered effective.

Everyone agreed with this plan, but some people expressed their opposition.

"This may not work." Ji Xin whispered to his idea.

"What do you think?" Ma Vest looked at the strong man in his thirties with thick eyebrows and big eyes. There was always a hint of sadness between his eyebrows. He was not very willing to speak on weekdays. However, he is a graduate of East China's politics and law among the four law schools. In the legal circle, his family background is very important. Of course, graduates of law majors in East China's politics and law majors are much more valuable than those established by many local universities after the expansion of enrollment. Since Ma Vest is the leader of the law club, he is naturally unavoidable and has always looked at him differently.

"Of course the parliamentary system is good, but the personnel issues here are probably difficult to balance." Ji Xin reminded him.

Ma Vest nodded slightly. The organizational setting is first of all personnel issues, and this is true. He has never talked about these issues in detail with people from the Law Club. Ji Xin now raised this sensitive topic to him, obviously he recognized his leadership very much. This made Ma Vest feel very good.

"If the governor comes forward to compete for the position of prime minister, he will have a great hope of being elected." Ji Xin said, "The problem lies in this: originally he was already in great power as a people's committee member of the plan. Now being a prime minister is equivalent to justifying his power. I'm afraid some people don't want this."

Ma Qianzhu has been in charge of the work of the Planning Commission for more than a year and has close work connections with many professionals and has spent a lot of energy. If he runs for the election to become prime minister, seven out of ten of the votes from each professional are voted for him.

"You really have to worry about it. What do you think?" Since the other party said his confidant, Ma Vest still showed his sincerity.

"The administrative agency still adopts the executive committee system." Ji Xin proposed one of his plans.

Specifically, an executive committee consisting of nine people will be set up. All administrative affairs of the crossing group will be divided according to sections and blocks and they will be responsible for each executive committee member. Each executive committee member is responsible for one part. One of them is responsible for the overall situation for the chairman of the executive committee, and his status is equivalent to that of the head of state.

People's committee members of various professional ministries and commissions can attend the meeting when convening an enlarged meeting of the executive committee, but they do not have the right to vote.

"As for how these 9 pieces are divided, we can slowly discuss and decide. No matter how they are divided, the problem will not be big. If we feel that the division of 9 pieces is not enough, we can divide it into 11 pieces or 13 pieces, and the executive committee will also be expanded to 11 people and 13 people accordingly. The biggest advantage of adopting this structure is that it can prevent a certain ministries from forming a dominant situation. There will be no strong leader."

In this way, although the Executive Committee still sets up a position like the chairman of the Executive Committee, a new position as prime minister can be established. However, the overall structure of these nine people is equal, but there are sequences in rankings. The Chairman of the Executive Committee leads other members, ranking first, but in decision-making, they are also restricted by the principle of minority obeying the majority.

"Isn't this a template for the Politburo? Nine Standing Committee."

"It is indeed borrowed from this system," said Ji Xin, "but it seems easier to balance it. Highlight the collective leadership system. Otherwise, it would be ugly if you really make a life of life and always be healthy."

"It makes sense. Collective leadership is always good." Ma Qi nodded and agreed to this plan. "You should quickly organize everyone to improve and refine it, and write a proposal and send it out immediately!"

In addition to the proposal of the new version of the 9 Executive Committee, the Preparatory Committee has also prepared several other plans - including the traditional parliamentary prime minister system - submitted together for discussion by all travelers, and then vote to make decisions during the conference.

In addition to this overall institutional setting, Ma Vest believes that there are great problems with the current violent organs of the Time Travel Group. The current exposure is limited, and the consequences appear to be very serious in the long run.

The House Committee manages all violent institutions except the army. The House Committee nominally manages multiple departments, covering all aspects of the dictatorial organs. In practice, due to limited personnel, most institutions are operated by a group of several brands. The General Administration of Political Security actually takes care of everything, public security, political security, anti-speciality, review, confidentiality supervision and even intervenes in the field of intelligence that was originally not within its scope. The Intelligence Committee does not have a professional team for collecting intelligence, and mainly relies on the collection of intelligence by several foreign stations, both businessmen and spies. Apart from doing intelligence analysis and searching for information from old papers to write historical references, there is no sense of existence at all.

The work of the Interior Committee is highly independent and has the so-called "confidentiality". Apart from the Executive Committee, Ran Yao does not need to be responsible to anyone, nor does he need to open up government affairs. This kind of violent organization that lacks constraints and supervision, has a high concentration of power, and is mysterious, can easily create "spy politics". It even breeds a tendency to talk about the "cruel struggle" of not talking about principles and only talks about our enemies - Dugu proposed to enter Bairencheng to fight violence, which largely reflects this thinking pattern.

Ma Jia is quite relieved to people like Ran Yao and Mu Min. First, their basic character is fine and they have no totalitarian tendencies. Secondly, people with professional qualities have been immersed in it for a long time, knowledgeable, and know the harm of the tools in their hands. However, the House Committee is also filled with amateurs who just like "anti-counterrevolutionary", "spy", and "anti-special" and other words. They have read a large number of such books, full of concepts of right and wrong. Many people are also worshippers of totalitarianism, and worship people like Beria and Himmler very dangerously. As the organization gradually expands, it is difficult for these people to do what they will do once they grasp the power of various departments of the House Committee.

In real operations, violent dictatorial organs often use stacking beds and restraining each other to check and balance. Ma Jia believes that at least the power of the People's Commissar of the Internal Affairs should be divided at one time, and multiple different violent organs should be set up to avoid one of the people's commissars of the Internal Affairs to summarize the power of intelligence, public security and internal security. The People's Commissar of the Internal Affairs, a position that was once terrified in the Soviet Union, should not be granted to anyone in the Time Travel Group.

"I think the House Committee can be abolished, and its functions are set up by one person in charge of the Executive Committee. The departments originally affiliated with the House Committee are independent and no longer have mutual affiliation." Dong Shiye said.
