Video Game Empire - Chapter 668

Hong Kong politics has been turbulent recently, and British politics, thousands of miles away, is also in a state of turmoil.

Thatcher began to vigorously implement the poll tax bill at the beginning of the year, triggering large-scale protests and riots across the UK, causing the support of the ruling party, the British Conservative Party, to plummet. And its strong resistance to European integration has triggered a huge split within the Conservative Party.

Not long ago, on November 1st, Sir Geoffrey Howe, the deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom, who is also the deputy leader of the Conservative Party and the most senior member of Thatcher’s cabinet, suddenly announced his resignation, which means that the contradictions within the Conservative Party began to become public. .

Later, another of Thatcher’s opponents, the backbencher and former defence secretary Michael Heseltine, stepped forward directly to challenge Mrs Thatcher’s leadership. As a result, Thatcher was forced to announce a leadership election to re-establish his prestige in the party.

But what Thatcher never expected was that not only did she fail to win the first round of the party’s primary election, but even her cabinet members urged her to retire. In order to avoid the embarrassment of losing the second round of the party’s election, Thatcher had to announce his resignation as British Prime Minister.

The United Kingdom implements a responsible cabinet system, in which the party that has won the most seats in each national election forms a cabinet to govern, and the leader of the party is generally the prime minister. And if the internal struggle of the ruling party is fierce, the people who eat melons may see the spectacle of the prime minister constantly changing people.

For example, an allied country that shares only a strip of water with China also implements a responsible cabinet system, so there has been an interesting situation of changing eight prime ministers in eight years. Voters who are not too concerned about politics may not even remember the name of the previous Prime Minister, and the new Prime Minister has already taken office!

Although Thatcher resigned as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, her successor was the former Chancellor of the Exchequer named John Major! After a series of inhumane compromises within the Conservative Party, an agreement was reluctantly reached.

As a British colony, although Hong Kong is far away from the British mainland, it will inevitably be affected by the aftermath of the British political arena. For example, a name that Li Xuan didn’t like came into his sight again!

Patten, the famous last Hong Kong governor, made Hong Kong’s political-sphere in the transition period of the last few years before the handover in chaos. After the change of British Prime Minister, he was appointed by the new Prime Minister John Major as the chairman of the Conservative Party, and he became the third person in the party after the leader and deputy leader. According to the information obtained by Li Xuan, Patten is not only a political ally of the new prime minister, but also has a very good personal relationship.

The key to the position of party chairman is that he is responsible for coordinating the election of the entire party. And now there is only a year and a half left before the new round of the UK’s 1992 national election. John Major made Patten the chairman of the Conservative Party at this time, just to let the other party help him in the next general election, which shows how much he trusts Patten.

Li Xuan is actually a little puzzled about Patten’s new position. You must know that as long as the Conservative Party can win the 1992 general election, Patten will definitely be John Major’s number one hero. In order to raise credit, and the two have a strong personal relationship, Patten should be able to choose any cabinet position. How could it be possible to travel to Hong Kong to be the governor in another time and space?

Yes, the Governor of Hong Kong is indeed a high-ranking person, under one person and over ten thousand people. But it is far from the political center of London after all. For ambitious politicians, coming to Hong Kong is tantamount to exile in disguise. Because Hong Kong can only be regarded as a partial interest of the United Kingdom at most, not its core interest!

Given the relationship between Major and Patten, if Patten remains in the cabinet as Chancellor of the Exchequer or Home Secretary, Major may even train him as the next leader of the Conservative Party. As a result, Patten made a stupid choice, in Li Xuan’s opinion, he picked up the sesame but lost the watermelon.

Could it be that Patten is willing to joke about his political future in order to make China unhappy? He doesn’t have a **** feud with China. As for the fish and the net?

The only possible explanation is that Patten suffered serious setbacks in his career, and he had no face to stay in London politics, so he took the next step and avoided Hong Kong to seek a comeback! And Hong Kong, which is in a special period in history, just gave him the conditions to stir up the wind and rain and attract the attention of all parties! He then pushed the boat along the way, and re-established himself a hawkish image by forcing the Chinese-Chinese government to accumulate capital for his return to London politics!

So if Patten really becomes the last governor of Hong Kong, he will definitely become a nasty **** stick when he comes to Hong Kong. This is not the result that Li Xuan wants to see. Fortunately, this round of Prime Minister changes in the UK has allowed Li Xuan to see some room for manipulation!

The political qualifications of the new Prime Minister John Major are not as good as those of his predecessor Margaret Thatcher! Thatcher was Secretary of State for Education and Science in Heath’s cabinet as early as 1970. Then the Conservative Party lost the right to form a cabinet because of its defeat in the general election. Thatcher simply came out to challenge Heath, and successfully defeated the opponent to become the new party leader.

Later, Thatcher successfully led the Conservative Party back to power in the 1979 British general election after four years as the leader of the opposition. She herself was crowned the first female Prime Minister in the history of the UK, and she continued to sit there for 11 years.

If Thatcher was still the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Li Xuan would not dare to act too rashly, because the skills of such a senior boss are sometimes unfathomable. But John Major was different. He was just a junior party leader. You must know that it was not until 1987 that he was promoted to the cabinet for the first time by Thatcher as Secretary of the Treasury. It was not until July last year that Thatcher, by means of a sudden cabinet formation, promoted and secretly demoted Sir Geoffrey Howe, the top opposition in the cabinet, the foreign secretary, to deputy prime minister. Major, who took over as foreign secretary, finally had a bigger say in the cabinet.

Less than three months into his tenure as foreign secretary, Lawson, the former chancellor of the exchequer, resigned, and he was promoted to chancellor by Thatcher. As a result, he sat on the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer for less than a year, and even Thatcher, the Prime Minister, resigned.

The backstage backstage has fallen, and Major’s rocket promotion must come to an end. But what was unexpected was that ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Iron Lady simply used her prestige in the party to push him directly to the throne of British Prime Minister.

But the British Prime Minister is not so easy to be, especially when Major’s own prestige is insufficient and the party is full of contradictions. Unless he can lead the Conservative Party to a landslide victory over the Labour Party in the 1992 general election, it will be difficult for Major to establish party authority in the short term, and he will only become a weak leader and prime minister.

And because of Thatcher’s series of policies in the past two years, the Conservative Party has lost people’s hearts in the UK. If it fails, it will be ousted by the Labour Party in the next election. It is easier said than done to win an overwhelming victory!

Therefore, the situation that John Major will face next can be described as an internal and external problem. In addition to facing the pressure of the Labour Party, he will also be constrained by the opposition within the party. But this is undoubtedly the best situation for Li Xuan, because only the help can maximize his interests.

You must know that Li Xuan is not only a super funder of the US election, but also spends a lot of money every British election!
