Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 677 - 633: Northern Territory Candidate

Due to the unexpected withdrawal of a candidate, the progress of the public speech had to pause for a few minutes to handle subsequent matters.

After all, carrying someone away and calming down the venue order do take time.

And after such an embarrassing example, the subsequent candidates were undoubtedly more cautious in their speeches. Although the content still seemed hollow and broad, at least it could be heard that they were all trying their best to make their expressed viewpoints appear professional and, more importantly, practical.

Even though to Perfikot, the content these guys talked about was far from reality, considering they had made an effort, she did not overly criticize.

She only asked a few follow-up questions. As long as these candidates were not the type to just babble without any actual governance experience or civil service resume, they could basically answer.

Such results also sent a signal: Perfikot did not like people without actual governance experience.

Most people expressed support for Perfikot's attitude. After all, it was instinctual not to trust someone completely inexperienced to perform well as President.

But this also brought another issue, which was most people became more trusting of older individuals while viewing the youth as lacking experience.

However, in this era, this is not too big of an issue. Young people indeed have a huge gap in experience and knowledge compared to older individuals.

Even in Perfikot's original world before she crossed over, before entering the information era when acquiring knowledge became easier, human society was more of an experience-based society, relying more on accumulated time for experience and insight.

An elder with years of governance experience was undoubtedly perceived as more reliable both in terms of perception and actual governance compared to young people.

Of course, as times change, the elder's reliance on experience for conservatism would expose many problems. But for the current environment, Perfikot thought perhaps a more stable elder might be more suitable.

As a result, the prime minister candidate offered by Northern Territory was roughly around fifty years old, with rich political experience as a civil servant.

Paired with Kallen, who was young but had huge prestige among the workers, this pairing undoubtedly offered a better impression compared to the previous candidates.

After all, there was the steadiness of the elder and the vitality of the youth; their complementarity was very important and attractive to a regime.

This made many factions regret why they did not choose a suitable deputy for their candidate.

Older individuals take part in the election, deputies assist and accumulate experience. Once the elder finishes, the deputy also matures, gaining sufficient experience and resume, then could participate in the election themselves.

As long as such a positive cycle is maintained, it would soon yield benefits for their faction in the prime minister election.

However, this was the first prime minister election, everyone was inexperienced. On the contrary, Northern Territory seemed fully prepared for this, causing many factions to exclaim that they've been played and caught off guard.

After all, the Lord of the North could calmly cast doubt on any candidate. If they fail to answer, their impression score in the public eye would greatly decrease.

Moreover, the joint candidacy of Northern Territory and the Dominion itself brought huge public support. The candidates, with their complementary advantages, would naturally better win the public's favor.

Especially, Kallen being a young and beautiful girl, also the leader of the labor movement, had more advantages than candidates proposed by various forces, whether in gaining favor among ordinary citizens or support from the worker group.

Certainly, if inclined to argue that women suffer discrimination in this social environment, well, she is just a deputy. The real candidate was the forty-something civil servant pushed by Northern Territory, which won much favor from the elite class.

It can be said in every aspect, the combined candidacy from Northern Territory boasted substantial advantages.

In terms of speech, the oratorical skills of the older civil servant and the speech abilities of the labor movement leader were a dimensional blow to others.

Kallen fully exerted her speech skills honed during the labor movement before, explaining their policy proposals in a straightforward and easy-to-understand manner.

This was her basic ability; after all, she faced uneducated bottom-level workers before. If spoken too complicatedly, they wouldn't truly understand.

The civil servant utilized his rich administrative experience to make more professional supplementary remarks. Through mutual questioning and answering, they easily clarified the key points of their proposed policy, and it was rather straightforward to understand, displaying professionalism and a people-friendly stance under their cooperation.

Not to mention those ordinary citizens who could only rely on listening to the radio to understand the situation, even those watching them speak on-site had to admit, these two were indeed much more professional than the candidates presented by them.

Especially afterward, Perfikot did not favor them because they were suggested by her side but instead posed several quite professional and tricky questions, seemingly trying to stump them.

However, the elder civil servant's competency was quite remarkable, most questions were calmly addressed with his rich experience and professional level. Only a few questions stumped him slightly, but Kallen beside him swiftly supplemented, unlike others who were stumped. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Other factions noticed, Perfikot was gearing up her candidates' reputation.

Yet, they couldn't raise objections because the opponents were indeed professional, and Perfikot's questions didn't appear to be incapable taken as fair.

Even knowing the answers ahead, smoothly answering her questions in such a setting was no simple feat.

Moreover, factions with individuals of political experience among them could discern that Perfikot's questions were madly professional and pinpointed directly.

If lacking sufficient governance experience and a comprehensive governance program, it's impossible to answer her series of questions.

Switched to their candidates, fearing even with answers known beforehand, preparing, answering smoothly would still be challenging.

After all, the difference between answers prepared in advance and genuine impromptu responses, they can discern. The two on stage truly didn't prepare beforehand and answered on-site without pretense.

Evidently, with such performances, the candidates jointly endorsed by Northern Territory and the Dominion gained enormous prestige and support among the populace.
