CHAPTER 106
TWO HOURS LEFT for emergency elections, or when they are called, in the case of early elections. The Prime Minister asks the monarch to dissolve the Parliament, this is not a merely symbolic act, the Parliament is locked and members are prohibited from entering the premises.
The United Kingdom is divided into 650 districts, each represented by a seat in Parliament, called the "House of Commons". Voters choose their district representative in a single round. The candidate who obtains the most votes wins, regardless of whether it is the majority of votes cast.
As for the leadership of Parliament, the party that wins 51% of the seats or more is entitled to lead the government, the party leader becoming Prime Minister.
In the event of a lack of majority in Parliament, the parties can negotiate among themselves to form a coalition government , in which the coalition parties share ministerial positions, or a minority government, in which the party with the most seats governs with support. of smaller parties.
This was the situation in which the British government found itself. If Selene Stillton's party failed to form a viable government within 14 days, she would be forced to resign and new elections would be called.
SELENE WAS WAITING for a standing ovation and the vote was a record since the Conservatives and the Labor Party voted heavily for Selene Stillton. During the press conference, they asked:
— Are you aware of your father's death?
— Did something happen to him?
— He was murdered in his mansion this afternoon by agents Benjamin Morant of MI6 and Gregory Evans of the CIA.
— I believe that our police and our secret service are capable of taking the necessary measures, we are in a delicate moment in which we were targeted, in several strategic points of our beloved city. We will fight back with all our might against these terrorists.
— And about Brexit, Minister, Scotland said that...
— I know very well what the Scottish Prime Minister said about it, if that is the will of his people, let it be done this way, we made the people vote and they decided to leave the European Union, we are mere instruments of their sovereign will.
Selene thanked him and went towards her car, she wanted to see Paul and celebrate with him, but when she got there, she didn't find him.
Where the hell has he gone?
