"The Nefertari family has ruled Alabasta for nearly eight hundred years."
“I have quite a few fans in this country.”
"I can assert that it won't be long before the World Government uses the royal family to make a big fuss and guide those people in the country to speak out against us."
"Soon afterward, more and more people will be deceived by them."
"The country will once again be plunged into chaos."
After hearing what Luo Heng said, Kou Sha's back was immediately soaked with cold sweat.
With his inexperience, he had no idea that there were such profound implications and intentions behind Vivi and the king being taken away.
"But what does this have to do with our political reform?" Kosa asked in confusion.
"That's what I'm going to say next." Luo Heng glanced at him indifferently and said.
"As the ruler of a country, the royal family controls all power in the country."
"No matter if they are nobles or commoners, they can only serve as yes-men for the royal family."
"Whatever the king says, everyone else has to do."
"The king often makes decisions on impulsive decisions that often run counter to the interests of the majority of the people."
"Valpo must have understood this very well."
"With one order from him, the entire country was left with only 20 doctors serving him."
"All citizens are in a predicament of being sick but having no access to treatment."
"That's called authoritarian centralism."
"In my opinion, it is an extremely backward political system."
When Walpo heard Luo Heng suddenly mention him, or his past not-so-glorious deeds, his face immediately turned red to the roots of his neck.
Those who knew him also burst into laughter.
However, the people present were not good people in the past, and they did not care too much about his evil policies that sounded a bit ridiculous.
"Imagine what would happen to this country if we gave the power to make laws and national policies to all citizens."
Luo Heng asked everyone present in a meaningful tone.
"Wouldn't the whole country be in chaos if this happened?"
"That's right. Everyone wants to be the most powerful person, which will inevitably lead to extremely brutal fighting."
"Are you stupid? How can we give power to everyone? It must be given to those who are powerful or prestigious."
Luo Heng couldn't help but smile playfully as he listened to everyone's seemingly childish remarks.
If he wasn't the boss of these people, he would have been attacked by everyone as soon as he finished speaking.
"Power must indeed be given to all citizens of Alabasta."
“But this power has significant limitations.”
"It only has one function."
"It's about voting for the person who everyone believes can do the best for them."
"There will be more than one such person. Perhaps there will be twenty, perhaps fifty, or even a hundred."
"The people who are elected will form a parliament or a congress."
"The formulation of national laws and major national policies will be decided by these people after a collective vote, and the number of votes will determine whether they are passed."
"Above the Congress, a cabinet of officials led by the Grand Consul handles state affairs."
"The title of Grand Archon is something I just came up with. You can also call him President, Prime Minister, Premier, or Head of State in the future."
"The Cabinet will be accountable to Congress."
"If a cabinet official or even an executive officer commits a serious offense, Congress will have the power to impeach or even remove him from office."
"Everyone, whether they are cabinet officials or members of Congress, serves for five years."
“When the fifth year is near, there will be another vote.”
"If you did a good job in your previous term and have enough votes, you can naturally stay in office."
"Once everyone has tasted the sweetness of power, will they welcome the royal family back to control the country?"
"By then, no matter how the world government behaves, I'm afraid it will no longer be able to have a negative impact on this country."
"But if we divide up all the power, won't this country be out of the hands of the corporations?"
"In this case, all our previous efforts will be wasted."
Gardino was very smart and quickly found the key to the problem.
After he raised the question, he immediately received a chorus of agreement.
"Before you answer, let me ask you a question."
"Who are the people who truly have the final say in this world?" Luo Heng asked with a smile.
"Of course, we listen to whoever is stronger."
"That's right, not only do you need to be strong, you also need to be very rich."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"So, is there anyone in Alabasta who has stronger fists and richer than us?"
Everyone shook their heads again.
"The establishment of Eden has arguably tied the wealthiest and most influential people in this country tightly to our side."
"Also, after receiving my reinforcements, the generals of the Kingdom Army have all sided with us and dare not harbor any second thoughts."
"Although we have granted the right to vote to all citizens."
"But the majority of elected members will be those who have sufficient influence and strong financial strength."
"If they want to maximize their profits, they have to stick closely to the Baroque Workshop."
"If we say east, they naturally don't dare to go west."
