Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 798 The Fourth Largest Faction

On the Duma side, those events did not cause any disturbance at all.

In the final analysis, it was nothing more than arresting a few "foreigners" with little status and cleaning up a group of police scum. The "honorable" Duma deputies would not care about such trivial matters at all.

What everyone pays attention to recently is much more important than that!
As various factions began to campaign for "preparation" ahead of schedule, most MPs also began to act.

You know, the election is not just a matter of factions, it is also related to the future of every congressman!
The 450 members of the Duma will face a different future after their term of office ends next year.

Some deputies will not only continue to be re-elected, but even go further, such as joining a Duma committee and the like.

Such congressmen are naturally the backbone of each faction, and they are also the most influential group within the faction.

With them, the faction can develop for a long time, and even grow stronger.

There are also some members of parliament who will go to the government or large groups to hold certain positions after their term of office ends.

It is also a good way out to cash in on the connections they have accumulated during their tenure in Duma.

In addition, there are some more "miserable" congressmen.

Unemployment at the end of term...

They are unemployed in the literal sense. These congressmen have little influence and qualifications in the faction, and they did not do well during their tenure as councilors. They have no contact with government executives and business leaders.

Maybe it was a coincidence that they were elected in the first place, and they didn't have much strength themselves.

That faction will not pay too much attention to them, as they are "consumables" that are thrown away after use.

Of course, no one wants to be this kind of "expendable product", so except for those who have found a clear way out and plan to go to business or government development, all other members of parliament are actively preparing for the next Duma election!

Who doesn't want to be an indispensable backbone in the faction...

After all, although the faction doesn't value him very much now, he wouldn't say that he is not allowed to participate in the next election.

In the final analysis, running for a member of the Duma requires the support of factions, but on the other hand, it also depends on your personal efforts.

There are often some people who have no factional support at all, but still rely on their own efforts to rise up in some states and enter the Duma.

They just rely on themselves to raise campaign funds, organize small teams to do publicity and promotion, do promotions from city to city, and hold a rally in any small square or street...

It cannot be said that this is ineffective. If you are eloquent and contagious, this kind of speech at a live rally can indeed help you win a lot of votes.

After all, many voters prefer candidates who have communicated with them face-to-face, at least they look more real than the somewhat illusory propaganda on TV.

…………

Wang Ye's office has recently been broken through by many congressmen.

Not only those MPs from their third faction, but even many MPs from the first and second factions came.

Although there are various excuses, everyone's purpose is the same, that is, to hope to get some resource support from Wang Ye to help them participate in next year's election!
Members of the third faction came to seek support, which is understandable and normal.

It's a bit unusual for people from other factions to come...

This is also because the momentum of the third faction is too strong recently.

With strong financial resources and party leader Mikhail is a rising star in the political arena that everyone is optimistic about, then under his leadership, the development of the third faction must not be bad.

So many congressmen began to find their own way when their current faction could not get resource support. They came to Wang Ye to try their luck and see if they could join the third faction next year.

Of course, this also has a prerequisite, that is, the third faction must give them a certain amount of election support!
For these people, Wang Ye greeted them all with smiles, and did not rush to agree or refuse.

Instead, write down the name and let Rosiana and the others do a background check.

Although the third faction is short of people, Wang Ye upholds the principle of preferring shortages to abuses, and he doesn't want everyone.

At the very least, the new recruits must have basic political literacy, and there should be no "black spots" on them.

Only after passing the preliminary screening, Wang Ye will talk to them about joining the faction and allocate corresponding campaign resources.

But today, an unexpected person appeared in Wang Ye's office...

…………

Oleg, leader of the Peace Front faction.

The Peace Front is also the fourth largest faction in the Duma!
Of course, their fourth largest faction sounds nice, but it is actually completely incomparable with the previous three factions.

Wang Ye's third faction has about forty seats, and the Peace Front has only five seats...

It can only be said that in the entire Duma, the strengths of the major factions are extremely disparate, and they are distributed like a cliff.

The first faction is the well-deserved giant, occupying three hundred seats exclusively.

The second faction is slightly weaker, but it also has around ninety seats.

The third faction is much worse, with only about forty seats.

As for the other factions, it is not worth mentioning. Several factions add up and "share" twenty seats.

In any case, the Oleg family is also the leader of the faction, and also serves as the deputy speaker of the Duma.

He is also the director of a certain committee, with little real power, but he can be considered one of the top figures in the Duma.

Usually, Oleg is also very low-key in his dealings with others, and most of the time he will not take the initiative to stand up and make a sound.

He has never had any objections to the proposals of the three powerful speakers, Gryzlov, Wang Ye, and Kolov, let alone the kind that would oppose them.

Anyway, Duma is a "good old man" with a relatively low sense of existence.

…………

Wang Ye was a little surprised that Oleg came to the door in person, but his expression remained calm, and he stood up to greet him with a smile.

"Speaker Oleg, why are you here?"

Oleg smiled heartily: "I don't have any work to do today, so I just wanted to come over and chat with you. I wonder if Speaker Mikhail has time?"

Of course there is time.

The two shook hands and sat down.

Rosiana brought black tea and snacks for the two of them, and with Wang Ye's signal, she left the room.

Only Wang Ye and Oleg were left in the big office.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Oleg seemed to have made up his mind, put down the teacup suddenly, and said:
"Speaker Mikhail, if I say that I want to merge our faction into a third faction, I don't know if you will be surprised."

Wang Ye frowned, of course he was surprised!
Although the strength of the fourth faction is relatively weak, no matter how you say it, it will not be reduced to the point of being merged into other factions...
