Mediterranean Hegemony Road

No matter what Caston thought, on October 28, 1892, the Bulgarian general election came to a successful conclusion. Of course, the impact is also very far-reaching, marking the end of the international party politics in Bulgaria.

Ferdinand knew that this was only a short period of time, and that in the long run, political parties would still be on the stage of history. In fact, this is also a helpless move. At present, if Ferdinand secretly forms a political party, it can be said to be an easy move, but what are the consequences? ?

Constantine's coming to power has been determined, and Bulgaria has not yet been able to compete with him. If there is another political party's support, this will definitely affect Ferdinand's authority.

Ferdinand didn't plan to cultivate a competitor. He didn't dare to underestimate such a historical figure. There is no bottom line in politics. If he was accidentally overturned, it would be too late to cry.

Ferdinand didn't want to test people's hearts. The best way is to not give them a chance. Political parties and royal power are inherently contradictory. A constitutional monarchy is not bad. If a direct republic is not good, Ferdinand would be too late to cry.

Let’s just do it once and for all. At least under the influence of Ferdinand, this generation of Bulgarian people is not interested in political parties. Without the support of the people, do they still want to become bigger?

By the time the people had forgotten all of this, Ferdinand would have already done so. Just like Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, her prestige has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even with a constitutional monarchy, she has begun to distance herself from politics and can still dominate the direction of the United Kingdom.

People are in good spirits when it comes to happy events, and the overall situation has been decided. This congressional election was conducted completely according to Ferdinand's will. In addition, he had already secretly controlled half of the votes, and he really could not think of the possibility of losing. Now Ferdinand has returned to normal, leisurely admiring the beautiful long legs in the palace.

At this time, Alice walked in, handed over a document, and said with a blushing face: "Grand Duke, this is the result of this election. The list of members of Congress is here!"

Ferdinand reluctantly withdrew his thoughts, business was important, and the lessons of history told him that if he acted recklessly, Nicholas II was an example.

Looking at a thin list of pages, there is also a thick stack of information attached to the back. Ferdinand just swept away, there was no accident in this election, and he won more than six seats. There are very few members of the political party, and there is no doubt that all the female members who signed up for the election were tragically eliminated. However, a small episode still aroused his interest.

Under normal circumstances, there will be a winner no matter what, even if the number of votes is the same, there can be another round, but an accident happened here. Ferdinand asked in puzzlement: "Oh, what's going on? How could no one win in the Gabler constituency? Are the candidates collectively convulsing?"

Alice said playfully: "Grand Duke, the reasons for these problems are listed below. The candidates for this constituency are all former Liberals, and the local people are very dissatisfied with them when they find out. A total of more than 3,000 people voted, and the one with the highest votes. Kakyi-Ivanlov doesn’t have more than 30 votes, and all the candidates add up to not get 3% of the votes. The content of the others is very interesting, you can look at it.”

Ferdinand turned a few pages back and stopped at page sixteen. The content inside caught his attention, and the voters filled it out very interestingly.

As expected of all people who believe in God, the one with the highest vote rate is: "God", accounting for 48%; followed by "requesting the removal of several candidates for election", accounting for 3% sixteen.

There are also various reasons, normal reasons such as: hiding identity information before, moral problems; strange reasons such as: too ugly to represent me, suspecting that they are foreign spies and suggesting censorship, they are the incarnation of the devil...

Seeing Ferdinand laughing and laughing, I can imagine the expressions of several candidates at the time after hearing these reasons at the scene. It must be wonderful!

It is inevitable that no one will be elected,

Even the unlucky guy with the highest number of votes, Kakyi Ivanlov, is really embarrassed to declare himself the winner!

Otherwise, he will be the shortest elected member of parliament in Bulgarian history. It is estimated that the voters at the scene would not mind exercising the right to remove the member again.

Even so, they will become the laughing stock of history, leap into world-class celebrities, and educate future generations as negative examples—politics is not something everyone can play.

The rest of the people filled in a variety of content, including their own names, heroes in Bulgarian history, Ferdinand the king, and international figures.

They expressed their dissatisfaction with the candidates in various ways. The host was still very clever. As soon as the statistical results came out, they announced that no one was elected. The person with the highest vote rate was not elected according to the regulations, which comforted the people.

He also asked the candidates for their opinions on the spot, without considering their feelings at all. It goes without saying how embarrassing the scene was. Anyway, the voters were satisfied and they didn’t like it. I was willing to let the seat of the congressman be vacant first, fully exercising his right to be the master of the house.

After this incident spread, it also left a very far-reaching impact. Since then, "candidates" have been boycotted in elections around the world from time to time, including the later European presidential elections, where all the candidates were rejected by the people.

There is no doubt that the Bulgarian political parties have been hit hard again in this general election. The people's boycott was beyond their imagination. Thirteen political parties won only five seats in Congress, with less than 5 percent of the vote.

It can be said that for a long time in the future, they can only continue to settle down, and their political influence will be at the lowest point. A new wave of quitting the party has begun again. Under the bombardment of relatives and friends, one by one passionate young people left sadly.

The results of this election, in addition to hurting political party members, also received a cold reception internationally. The British, Germans, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were all injured. In order to interrupt Bulgaria's pro-Russian trend, they attempted to influence Bulgaria's future national policy through this election. For this election, they also mobilized their respective influences to help canvass votes. Even so, the results were still so miserable.

The most contested female suffrage in this election was unanimously opposed by conservatives. Well, the new faction also has no support, so it can be said that this time Ferdinand is a lone fighter.

Ferdinand should be thankful that there were no female congressmen born in this election, and everyone just used it as a chatter after dinner. Otherwise, the old masters may have come to the gate of the Sofia Palace to petition.
