Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
1576 Forcing the Palace
In recent years, the British people's tolerance for the British government has become increasingly low.
No, it should be said that the British people have increasingly higher demands on the British government. However, in the past two years, there has been a nationwide general strike and an economic crisis. The Conservative government has indeed performed poorly, so it was impeached by Congress.
It is understandable if you think about it. Since the United States surpassed the United Kingdom in GDP and became the world's largest in 1894, the British economy has begun to decline.
After the World War, the economy of Southern Africa also surpassed that of the British Empire. Compared with the United States and Southern Africa, the British Empire was faltering like an old man. It is indeed disappointing. The British people infinitely miss the glory of Queen Victoria's period. Compared with now
The British government really deserves the tragedy of the British Empire.
At the same time as the London Conference was being held, the Labor Party led by Ramsay Macdonald and the Liberal Party led by Lloyd George launched an attack on the current cabinet in view of the fact that the current cabinet did nothing after the outbreak of the economic crisis and watched the UK suffer heavy losses.
Impeachment requires the collective resignation of cabinet members and the immediate convening of national elections.
On April 27, the British House of Commons questioned Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin in accordance with its charter. This impeachment attracted strong attention from the entire British society. Lord Justice Viscount Cave and royal representative Prince Edward also attended. Speaker of the House of Commons John Henry
Whitley presided over the meeting.
"——This cabinet has not done nothing. After the resignation of Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald, this cabinet was appointed at the critical moment——" Stanley Baldwin's speech was interrupted by a series of boos as soon as he started.
The British Parliament still follows the ancient tradition of the past, with terraced seating and not even a chair. Members are crowded together like students attending a lecture.
At least one advantage of such a venue is that even if a microphone is not used, the speakers can still be heard clearly by the legislators.
Of course, there are also disadvantages. The speaker's seat is not even two meters away from the seats of the MPs. This also means that the emotions of the MPs can be conveyed to anyone without any obstacles, and the slightest boo can be heard clearly.
"We handled the national general strike that just passed perfectly. The outbreak of an economic crisis is something that none of us want to see. You should give the cabinet enough trust. What we need is time-" Stanley Baldwin shouted, booing
The sound did not decrease, but became louder and louder.
The congressmen did not just boo Stanley Baldwin. When Stanley Baldwin was speaking, congressmen who opposed Stanley Baldwin chanted.
"Hurry up and resign, Prime Minister. Don't wait for His Majesty to kick you out of No. 10 Downing Street——"
"The end of the national general strike has nothing to do with you, Prime Minister, you betrayed the coal miners who trusted you!"
"Go down quickly and give up your position to a more suitable person——"
Seeing that the order was in danger of getting out of control, Speaker Whitley promptly maintained order.
"Gentlemen, please abide by the order and speak one by one -"
The booing stopped for a moment.
Before Stanley Baldwin could speak, Ramsay McDonald, who was sitting opposite Stanley Baldwin, grabbed the microphone.
"Don't shirk responsibility. You just did nothing. This was the case before during the national general strike and it is still the case now. Otherwise, how can you explain why southern Africa has not been affected by the economic crisis?" Ramsay McDonald said aggressively.
Absolutely, he was not so strong when he was prime minister.
Ramsay Macdonald may not be a qualified prime minister, but he must be a qualified politician.
A qualified politician must be good at finding fault.
"Southern Africa is not unaffected -" Stanley Baldwin's defensive voice was weak, at least that's what it felt like.
"At least the federal government of Southern Africa responded very quickly. As soon as the economic crisis broke out, the federal government of Southern Africa introduced a series of measures to protect southern Africa to the greatest extent. At the same time, what did you do?" Ramsay McDonough
Na has always talked about southern Africa and firmly grasped the pain points of the British.
To be honest, the British can basically accept the rise of the Americans. After all, it took more than a hundred years for the United States to surpass the United Kingdom after the Revolutionary War. This is basically in line with common sense.
Southern Africa is too much. There is no need to count it from the establishment of the Southern African federal government. Even from the end of the Second Boer War, Southern Africa has only developed for less than 25 years and its economy has surpassed that of the United Kingdom. This is
This is really unacceptable to the British.
Not to mention the British, everyone in the world cannot accept it.
It's like a group of people running a race. Everyone was running well, but suddenly a person passed by on a motorcycle at high speed. You think this should be very annoying.
"When the economic crisis first broke out, the cabinet also proposed some measures, but it was precisely because of your obstruction that they could not be implemented -" Stanley Baldwin was also helpless. The cabinet's inaction was not to be blamed on anyone else, but on the British Parliament.
This was indeed helpless, and Stanley Baldwin did not want to do nothing, but all decisions of the cabinet must be approved by Congress before they can be implemented.
This is also the biggest drawback of British politics. With people like Ramsay Macdonald and Lloyd George in Parliament, the British government can't do anything.
Not only this economic crisis, but also the last national strike.
Stanley Baldwin doesn't know how to buy votes through welfare policies, but Congress doesn't cooperate. Even if Stanley Baldwin has great abilities, he has no place to display them.
"You mean the responsibility lies with Parliament? This is a shameless shirking of responsibility!" Ramsay Macdonald fired up and sprayed Stanley Baldwin in the face.
The two of them were so close that they were separated by a table.
Or put it sideways.
Speaker Whitley exchanged glances with Viscount Cave and Prince Edward beside him, and decided to give Stanley Baldwin a chance: "Quiet, gentlemen - Your Excellency, Prime Minister, now you have five minutes to state the cabinet's position.
What efforts were made to protect the British Empire after the economic crisis broke out."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As soon as the economic crisis broke out, the cabinet decided to devalue the pound by 30% to promote British exports and maintain competitiveness -" Stanley Baldwin was interrupted by the noise just as he started to speak.
"It's not plagiarism, it's plagiarism from the Federal Government of Southern Africa. You should be ashamed -"
"God, is this the level of the Prime Minister we have worked so hard to elect?"
"Devaluation means over-issuance of currency. Do we have enough gold reserves?"
There were so many questions, Stanley Baldwin chose an answer: "We are negotiating with the federal government of Southern Africa, hoping that Southern Africa can increase the supply of gold to us——"
"What's the result? What's the result?"
“Will the Southern African federal government agree to this request?”
Stanley Baldwin is really unable to defeat four hands with two fists: "So we gave up the gold nugget standard and lifted the binding between sterling and gold——"
"This is a stupid thing to do. Southern Africa unlinked the rand from gold. That's because the rand is not an international currency. We unlinked the pound from gold. It will only make people lose confidence in the pound."
—" Ramsay MacDonald once again seized the opportunity and copied his homework without correcting it word for word. Some of the methods in southern Africa were not suitable for Britain.
"Can you please let me finish what I have to say, at least let me use up five minutes -" Lord Baldwin of Bodley's level of quarrels is indeed not as good as that of Ramsay Macdonald, who was born as a commoner.
"We've given you two chances to be prime minister, and it's a waste of time to give you one more second -" Ramsay Macdonald refused to give Stanley Baldwin a chance to speak.
"But your performance as prime minister was also a disaster for the British Empire -" Stanley Baldwin was finally brought to the same level by Ramsay Macdonald using his rich experience.
Looking at the chaotic scene, Speaker Whitley shook his head speechlessly.
The situation in the UK is indeed different from that in southern Africa.
But some things are the same. For example, the Prime Minister's influence on the parliament is not as complete as in southern Africa. At least it should not be the out-of-control situation where quarrels occur as soon as a meeting begins.
It is said that the British government is inefficient. It is so noisy every day. How can it be inefficient?
"My lord, what do you think?" Whitley covered the microphone and asked Viscount Cave for his opinion.
Viscount Cave shook his head slightly, not sure whether he was disappointed with Stanley Baldwin or the House of Commons.
"Your Highness, what do you think?" Whitley turned to Prince Edward.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, has lost the trust of the Parliament——" Prince Edward just spoke, and Whitley's expression changed drastically.
Prince Edward was still not experienced enough and did not cover the microphone when he spoke. Before Whitley could stop him, Prince Edward's voice had already spread throughout the venue.
"Ha, did you hear that, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you have lost the trust of both the Parliament and the Royal Family. If I were you, I would resign immediately -" Ramsay MacDonald reacted quickly.
What this means is that when Ramsay Macdonald was Prime Minister, he faced two impeachments by the Congress. If either one passed, Ramsay Macdonald would be forced to resign.
However, Ramsay Macdonald at that time did not behave so honorably. Even in the face of such great pressure, Ramsay Macdonald refused to resign until King George V and Ramsay Macdonald
After talking with Na, Ramsay Macdonald reluctantly left No. 10 Downing Street.
"Okay, I will submit my resignation to His Majesty. Are you satisfied now?" Stanley Baldwin roared out frustrated, then turned and left.
The scene was suddenly silent, and many congressmen who had ridiculed and ridiculed Stanley Baldwin just now felt disappointed. They had achieved their goal, but they didn't seem to be very happy.
