The Rise of Australasia

For the cabinet ministers, their positions were confirmed, changing from cabinet ministers to cabinet ministers, and the title became more like that of a monarchy.

However, the bad news is that if this resolution is implemted, the Prime Minister will have the power to appoint deputy ministers to interfere in their respective departmtal affairs.

After the resolution was st to the Cabinet Governmt for consultation, the cabinet's attitude was quite ambiguous, basically divided into two factions.

Prime Minister Walter, Foreign Minister Andrew, Minister of Industry Pierre, and Minister of Education Richard made no commts on the resolution, appartly in default.

It goes without saying that the prime minister's powers are not too great, and it would indeed be good news if he could appoint deputy ministers.

Meanwhile, the other ministers are also contders for the next prime minister; although their ministerial powers would be weaked in the short term, what if they took the prime minister's post later?

The other faction, with somewhat differt opinions, was led by the Minister of Civil Affairs Hris and the two new Ministers of Agriculture and Transportation.

They believe that having the prime minister appoint deputy ministers is certainly a good thing, but it could also increase the likelihood of internal disputes within each departmt.

This is not a good developmt for the governmt, as an administration struggling with infighting would see a significant reduction in efficicy.

On the eving of May 3st, just before the d of the election month, several cabinet ministers jointly requested an audice with Arthur for their undefined status of cabinet reform and asked Arthur to make amdmts to the unreasonable parts of the reform.

Although Prime Minister Walter was pleased with his growing power, he could not oply support the previous resolution.

Does this not mean that he is a power-hungry and opportunistic person? If he acted that way, he would likely lose Arthur's trust and favor.

This is also the smart part of Prime Minister Walter; although he tds to support the previous resolution, he understands that only Arthur can decide this matter in the d, and all he can do is quietly wait for the result.

Arthur also takes this incidt very seriously; after all, it was his own oversight that led to the situation.

On the eve of early June, Arthur temporarily conved a cabinet meeting and held all-night negotiations on the reform of the cabinet.

Although no one knows exactly what was discussed that night, the changes Arthur made can be se in the amded resolution issued by the Royal Parliamt the next day.

According to the June st resolution issued by the Royal Parliamt, the reorganization and increase of cabinet seats remained the same, but the Prime Minister's authority to appoint deputy ministers was abolished, allowing each departmt's authority to remain unified, increasing the governmt's administrative efficicy, and reducing the possibility of infighting within governmt departmts.

Additionally, for the two extremely important departmts of finance and defse, the ministerial candidates were not directly appointed by Arthur but were selected from a list of three to five nominees put forward by Arthur and th elected by the House of Represtatives, yielding the final Defse Minister and Minister of Finance.

For Arthur and the House of Represtatives, this can also be considered as a compromise, to achieve a satisfactory result for both parties.

After all, the candidates Arthur nominates will definitely be loyal to him, so the final Ministers of Defse and Finance will also be loyal to Arthur, ev if they are elected by the House of Represtatives.

Moreover, there have be some adjustmts to the newly added cabinet seats.

The Royal Affairs Minister was appointed by Arthur himself, with the geral responsibility of handling affairs betwe the governmt and the royal family, which is the most important thing for a monarchy: the unity of actions betwe the governmt and the monarch.

Chief Justice and Secretary of State (Deputy Prime Minister) were selected in the same democratic process as the Ministers of Finance and Defse, with Arthur nominating three to five candidates, and th the House of Represtatives electing the final Chief Justice and Secretary of State.

Meanwhile, the Speaker of the House of Represtatives was elected by the House itself. This is a special position with a ture of only two years, which means the Speaker of the House is the position in the cabinet governmt that may rotate the fastest.

Next is the Archbishop of Australasia, a position appointed directly by Arthur.

The Archbishop of Australasia is responsible for coordinating the managemt of the Australasian Protestant Association while also serving as the Archbishop of Australasian Protestantism.

Arthur also plans to establish the Australasian Christian Association to sure the rights of other Christians are protected and to prevt European immigrants with non-Protestant faiths from losing interest in Australasia.

The Archbishop holds control over religion in Australasia, and because of its unique status, will be a lifelong position.

Therefore, the choice of Archbishop must be in the hands of the royal family. This is the only position in the cabinet departmt, apart from the Royal Affairs Minister, that is appointed directly by Arthur and requires no election.

If the previous proposals made the House of Represtatives somewhat apprehsive, the new proposals to them are a breath of fresh air.

The new proposal allocates of the 6 cabinet seats to be elected by the House of Represtatives and, moreover, the House has the right to elect Arthur's nominees for finance, defse, state affairs, and chief justice.

Arthur can only personally appoint the positions of the Royal Affairs Minister and Archbishop, and though there are basically no term limits for these two positions, they can be considered lifelong positions as long as Arthur does not dismiss them.

However, this is only for two positions, compared to more than t other seats.

Both the House of Represtatives and the Cabinet Governmt welcomed the new proposal after the changes.

Ev the election of the Speaker of the House of Represtatives after the House of Represtatives election has caused more atttion from other political parties.

After all, the Speaker of the House of Represtatives is a position that directly ters the Cabinet, and although the term of office is only two years, it is the Cabinet!

At the same time, several major positions after the cabinet reform has attracted many officials' coveting and expectations.

After all, the newly added cabinet positions have high ranks and heavyweights. The Chief Justice will naturally master the judiciary system of Australasia and confront the House of Represtatives.

As for the Archbishop, this is a divine position, and it is believed that the Anglican Geral Assembly also has certain ideas about this position.

The position of the Secretary of State, similar to the Deputy Prime Minister, has ev aroused interest among some cabinet ministers.

You know, some expericed cabinet ministers have be in office for three terms, and they must change in the next term, or they will have to say goodbye to the cabinet seats.

But what's above the Cabinet Minister? Previously there was only one Prime Minister's position, and now there is the addition of the Chief Justice, Secretary of State, Royal Affairs Minister, and Speaker of the House of Represtatives.

These positions are differt from the Cabinet Ministers and are the only way for them to stay in the Cabinet Governmt in the next term, other than the Prime Minister's position.

Because all these positions require Arthur's nomination, it can be imagined that Arthur's Sydney Palace will not be quiet in the near future.

With the cabinet reform, Arthur has legally clarified the appointmt methods of the governors of all states and territories and the colonial governors.

State governors are elected by the State Parliamt and begin their four-year term after verification by the House of Represtatives.

Meanwhile, Colonial Governors and the Governor of the Capital Territory are elected by the Royal Parliamt and appointed by Arthur himself.

At the same time, cabinet officials no longer serve as members of the Royal Parliamt, and members of the Royal Parliamt consist of royal family members, the Archbishop of Australasia, grand nobles, and members personally appointed by Arthur.

All members of the Royal Parliamt have unlimited terms, and this will become a new lifelong position.

The fully indepdt cabinet is directly responsible to Arthur and is subject to the supervision of the Royal Parliamt and the House of Represtatives.

Under the various reforms of the system, although Arthur's royal power seems to be somewhat weaked on the surface, in fact, for a monarch like Arthur, who has great prestige and military power, his power in secret becomes higher.

However, on the surface, Australasia has indeed become more democratic. After all, out of the 6 cabinet positions, there are as many as directly elected by the House of Represtatives, and Arthur's direct control of the cabinet positions has dropped to two, one of which is a divine position.

On June st, after the Royal Parliamt, the House of Represtatives voted in favor, and the resolution on the reform of the Cabinet seats, which was unanimously approved by the Cabinet, was formally implemted, and there were significant changes in the political ara of Australasia.

Among them, the most joyful ones should be those ministers who have already served in the cabinet governmt for three terms.

The reform of the cabinet gives them hope to continue to stay in the cabinet, although it requires gaining Arthur's special favor, but it is better than several people fighting for a Prime Minister's position, isn't it?

But this also means that if they want to obtain more cabinet seats, they need to express their absolute loyalty to Arthur and gain Arthur's trust as the first step.

How to gain Arthur's trust? Several ministers were momtarily perplexed, but some people have already looked at Grant or the Unity Party behind Grant.

Unity Party is the only oply monarchist party in Australasia and is also the political party closest to Arthur at prest.

If they can establish contact with the Unity Party, does it mean that their relationship with Arthur will become closer?

Although this situation is only a conjecture, in order to obtain a higher cabinet position and continue to stay in the cabinet, perhaps taking a shot is really the last resort.

Arthur takes a bystander's attitude towards the changes in the political ara after the promulgation of the resolution, as there is no harm to the royal family no matter how it changes.

The cabinet reform is beficial for Arthur, or the future king of Australasia. After all, the king determines the affiliation of several cabinet positions other than the ministers. The attitude of Arthur and future kings becomes very important for cabinet ministers who want to stay in the cabinet or go further.
