Chapter 657: Chapter 499: The First Four-Year Plan

As the monarch of Australasia, Arthur was quite concerned about this cabinet election.

Although some positions were predetermined by Arthur, most of them were still uncertain. After all, Arthur didn't intend to fully control the cabinet government, and the opinions of the parties and the public were still essential.

According to past practice, the general public has no right to run for the positions of Royal Affairs Minister, Defense Minister, and Minister of Finance.

Candidates could only be one of the nine people recommended by Arthur, with an average of three people per position, participating in the election within the small scope of the House of Representatives.

Apart from that, Arthur actually has the power to determine the Minister of State, or the Deputy Prime Minister.

However, Arthur wouldn't usually make demands for positions other than those three, as a competitive government with fresh blood is what Arthur wants.
