Chapter 288: Chapter 256: Cabinet Restructuring



Although the functions of each departmt seem somewhat bloated, the size of Australasia is not that large, so it does not constitute a major problem.

The reason the House of Represtatives proposed to increase cabinet seats is, simply put, to plan for themselves.

After all, each additional seat means one more opportunity; the Cabinet Governmt is the top echelon of the Australasian Governmt, with cabinet members being below the royal family and above the governmt.

However, the currt elections for the House of Represtatives have not yet be held, and the final list of members has not be determined. Is it a bit too hasty to worry about the future cabinet elections now?

Arthur shook his head and looked at another proposal.

The other proposal clearly showed a line of suggesting the establishmt of formal official positions such as Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Minister.

In fact, each departmt currtly has a deputy minister\'s position. Ev the Foreign Affairs Departmt, which currtly has fewer affairs, has a minister and a deputy minister.

However, the position of the deputy minister is a bit awkward. Although it is within the Cabinet Governmt, they are not part of the Cabinet Governmt and occupy an ambiguous position.

The only good thing is that they can temporarily take over the minister\'s position wh an accidt occurs in a departmt minister.

But the problem is that there is currtly no possibility of war in Australasia, and the age of departmt ministers is gerally a 40 years old.

It is less likely for these young and strong ministers to have accidts than for them to be elected to full positions in the next election.

As for the proposal for a deputy prime minister, Arthur felt it was not bad.

At prest, there is no position of deputy prime minister in Australasia because the Cabinet Governmt usually works under Arthur\'s decision.

In addition, part of the power of the Prime Minister has be divided among various departmts, so there is no need for the position of Deputy Prime Minister.

However, with the growth of Australasia\'s volume, the political affairs of the departmt ministers will become more bloated and complicated.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish the position of Deputy Prime Minister in advance to share the possible increase in political affairs and matters in the future.

After all, if Arthur has important matters to visit abroad in the future, having a Deputy Prime Minister and Prime Minister to hold each other back can also maintain domestic stability.

After all, the Prime Minister is a position elected by the House of Represtatives. Although it ultimately requires Arthur\'s approval and swearing allegiance to Arthur, this cannot guarantee the absolute loyalty of the Prime Minister to Arthur.

Although Arthur, under the premise of holding military power, the Prime Minister basically cannot make any waves, but no one can guarantee that Arthur\'s next or next geration can still firmly control the governmt.

A monarch who loses monarch power must add several insurance policies to control the governmt.

A deputy prime minister directly appointed by the monarch is clearly more capable of suring loyalty.

After all, anyone who can be personally appointed by the monarch as the Deputy Prime Minister must be absolutely loyal to the monarch in the eyes of the monarch.

In this case, it is necessary to strgth the monarch\'s power a little more in other areas to prevt his own descdants from losing their royal power for various reasons. At least, they must sure that their own and their family\'s royal power is not threated, and at worst, they must become a constitutional country where the monarch has certain powers.

After thinking for a while, Arthur signed his decision on the two proposals and called the royal guard to sd them to the Royal Parliamt.

On May 30th, the Royal Parliamt formally issued the final handling opinions on the two resolutions to the House of Represtatives, and handed them over to the Cabinet Governmt for discussion.

The two resolutions were evtually combined, and the cabinet seats were successfully increased.

However, the increased seats were not elected by the House of Represtatives as members had expected, but were directly appointed by Arthur or future monarchs, with a term of four years.

The specific resolutions are as follows: It was decided through consultation betwe Arthur and the Royal Parliamt to reform the Cabinet Governmt of Australasia.

In addition to the ministers of the eight departmts and the prime minister, the reformed cabinet governmt also includes sev ministers personally appointed by Arthur (Chief Justice, Archbishop, Speaker of the House of Represtatives, Minister of State, i.e., Deputy Prime Minister, and Royal Affairs Minister, Minister of Finance, Minister of Defse).

After the reform, the Cabinet Governmt became the supreme governmt departmt of Australasia, and Cabinet Governmt members no longer served as members of the Royal Parliamt.

The Cabinet Governmt is gerally responsible to Arthur and the Royal Parliamt, but the House of Represtatives also has supervisory power.

If the House of Represtatives is dissatisfied with a Cabinet Governmt official or the tire Cabinet Governmt, it can submit a resolution to impeach the official or the tire governmt.

Of course, the final impeachmt must be submitted to the Royal Parliamt and Arthur\'s hands unless the approval rate exceeds %.

This also means that unless the House of Represtatives joins together, it will lose jurisdiction over the Cabinet Governmt. Only the remaining supervisory authority is severely restricted, which is the peak of Australasian royal power.

In addition, the minister of the cabinet departmt was officially ramed the Departmt Minister, and the official title of the Cabinet Prime Minister was changed to Chief Minister.

From this momt on, the Cabinet seats of Australasia will be increased to 6, with Arthur controlling 7 seats and the House of Represtatives electing 9 seats.

As compsation for the House of Represtatives, Arthur decided to allow the incumbt Prime Minister to appoint a deputy minister for each departmt, with a term corresponding to that of the Prime Minister.

However, the ministers of each departmt are still elected by the House of Represtatives, which can thoroughly differtiate the positions elected by the House of Represtatives from the Cabinet Prime Minister and various departmt ministers, and block the possibility of these positions uniting together.

After all, the Prime Minister of Governmt will threat the power of the departmt ministers and will also cause the departmt ministers to have some fear of the Prime Minister.

In the case where the Cabinet Governmt does not trust each other and is suspicious of each other, they will naturally not unite to pose a threat to royal power.

It is worth mtioning that after this complete cabinet reform, Arthur has firmly grasped the more important positions of Minister of Finance and Minister of Defse.

However, this provision received the lowest response, because ev in the previous cabinet, the positions of ministers of finance and defse were firmly held by Arthur and could not be obtained simply through elections.

This cabinet reform has a great impact on the political ara, and it can be said that it subverts the currt pattern of Australasia\'s top politics.

In summary, the reform of the cabinet has greatly strgthed royal power, both in appearance and in practice.

Although compsation was giv to the Cabinet Prime Minister with a deputy minister\'s position in each departmt, the departmt ministers control the departmts, and it remains to be se whether the deputy ministers can gain power.
