Chapter 706： Parliamentary supremacy

On the way to the appointment, the Liverpool chairman's special car, the iconic red Rolls Royce appeared on the streets of Liverpool, Yang Cheng lay down lazily, closed his eyes and slumbered, pondering the intentions of the uncle Ian Al.

A member of the Diet has spared no effort to get in touch with himself, what is the purpose? It is impossible to fight the autumn wind. Is it because you want to seek funding? This possibility is relatively high.

As we all know, the British ZZ system is a constitutional monarchy. Hundreds of years ago, as a veteran capitalist country, Britain used its technology and culture to bring an atomic bomb-like impact to the world.

Great Britain is an independent island, with the natural barrier of the sea from other continents, creating a superior geographical environment for Britain, avoiding frequent wars, and allowing it to have sufficient time to grow itself, marked by the invention of the steam engine The first industrial revolution promoted a substantial increase in productivity. At the same time, Britain had a strong navy, and the small domestic market forced it to embark on the path of colonial expansion.

When European religious institutions and feudal separatist forces were raging, they had established a unique judicial jury system and local management system; when European feudal despotism generally strengthened, they launched a bourgeois revolution to destroy the foundation of feudalism.

The parliament, as an important organization in the UK, has gradually formed the principle of "parliamentary supremacy" during its long historical development.

The British Parliament is composed of the King, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons. The Parliament and the Cabinet hold the real power of the United Kingdom. The House of Lords is the House of Nobility and is the only political institution based on aristocratic politics in major Western countries. The King has no real power. After a long period of fighting between the House of Lords representing the aristocracy and the House of Commons representing the republic, power gradually shifted from the House of Lords to the House of Commons.

The powers of the British Parliament mainly include four aspects: legislative power, financial supervision power, administrative supervision power, and judicial power. Among them, the judicial power is exclusively owned by the House of Lords. It can hear cases of nobles and impeachment cases of the House of Commons. According to the law, the legislative power and the power to supervise government finances and administration belong to the House of Commons. The "Parliament Act" promulgated in 1911 confirmed the ZZ dominant position of the House of Commons. As a rule, the prime minister must come from the House of Commons, and the cabinet members are also very Few by the nobility.

The legislative power and financial supervision power are the most important powers of the parliament

Any draft law passed in the United Kingdom must be passed by the House of Commons and the King’s approval before it is officially announced to the public, producing legal effects.

The financial supervision includes the royal family's annual salary, interest on national debt, the salary of the Speaker of the House of Commons and the leader of the opposition party, as well as various taxation plans, etc. This also gives the parliamentarians the supreme power, because whoever wants to be in the British officialdom Going smoothly is inseparable from the supervision of the Parliament.

To put it hard, if you cannot "serve the people" well, just wait for your impeachment by the parliament.

In short, the "parliament" is the highest authority in the country, even above the cabinet, because cabinet members must be approved by the parliament before they can take office normally.

As a member of the Liverpool City Council, according to his age and seniority, he can move closer to the center of power, but how to get more votes? Naturally, his proposal was passed and unanimously appreciated by the voters, so how to get the approval of the voters? Of course, money has to be spent for the benefit of voters. Where does the money come from? It must be in the hands of capitalists.

As a representative of the black community, his skin color naturally limits his communication channels with white capitalists. So when he finds himself who has just come to the UK to develop himself, Yang Cheng can also understand it. The question now is whether he should help this busy.

In a Chinese restaurant in Albert, Yang Cheng met Ian El’s uncle, Recosta!

"Dear Mr. Yang Cheng, on behalf of all the citizens of Liverpool, I welcome your arrival. No doubt, you have made Liverpool regain the attention of the world."

Look, it turns out that politicians can talk. If you shoot this flattery, most people can be stunned.

Yang Cheng smiled and shook hands with the other party. He looked up and down quickly at the black man who seemed to be 7 or 80 years old, but was actually less than 60 years old. He said politely, "Mr. Costa is the only one in Liverpool. The real behind-the-scenes hero of the city, I am just a guest from outside, adding luster to the city."

Lei Costa is about the same height as Yang Cheng, and both of them are deliberately restraining their auras, so in the eyes of outsiders, the two holding hands are extremely harmonious.

Ian El, as a bridge between each other, took the initiative to stand up and said, "Let’s sit down and eat and talk, Uncle Costa, the boss hasn’t eaten yet."

Recosta quickly retracted his hand and turned sideways, "I have booked the box. I have to say that the unique box style of the Chinese restaurant should be popularized throughout Europe."

Yang Cheng nodded in agreement Indeed, the box pays more attention to privacy protection. "

The two went upstairs one after another. So far, neither of them has reached the point.

Because the food was ordered in advance, no time was wasted. Before Yang Cheng’s **** was hot, the waiter started to take the food. After the 12 dishes were served on the table, the door of the box was closed, and Recosta would have nothing to try. Said, "Mr. Yang, I heard Ian say that you have invested in many projects in Liverpool?"

Yang Cheng picked up a chopsticks and Longjing shrimp, tasted the product, the taste is not bad, the fragrance is tangy, "Yes, they are all built around the Liverpool club as the core, it is an incidental investment, not worth mentioning."

Recosta smiled, "Mr. Yang is humble. These projects of yours have made a lot of contribution to Liverpool’s economic construction. At least thousands of people have found a living job because of Mr. Yang’s projects. I thank you for them."

Yang Cheng didn't expect this black man to understand the conversation habits of Chinese people. This made him even more surprised. Having done so much preparation means that the other party will be more demanding.

But he said nonchalantly, "This is a win-win result, Mr. Costa praised it too much."

"No, no, no praise at all. What I value is the courage of Mr. Yang's investment. As a city councillor of Liverpool, I am always thinking about the livelihood of the citizens. Therefore, after many years of struggle, I finally achieved considerable results. Now, I have a good project plan in my hands. I wonder if Mr. Yang is interested in listening to it?"

Yang Cheng thought, and the secret path finally cut to the point, with a smile on his face and said, "Of course, as long as it is money-making things, I am interested."
