v3 Chapter 343： Continue to teach wife to play politics

The Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Michigan, Skyler Colfax, openly supported Senator Speaker and Vice President Andrew Johnson, which was nothing short of a bolt from the blue. The lawmakers were shocked.

This seems to be a joke for the idea that the Irish and German alliances will dominate the United States of America.

The situation in the United States of America is absolutely shaken.

The monstrous waves stirred by the Dutch are enough to make many people sweat for President Lincoln and Secretary of State Seward.

Unlike the secretary of state, who is a career cabinet official nominated by the president to senators, the vice president is elected, and he has a certain public opinion foundation, as does the speaker of the House of Representatives.

Therefore, President Lincoln and some members of the executive cabinet headed by Seward confronted the two House and Senate giants in Congress.

.....

In the Royal Palace of the Netherlands, King William IV of the Netherlands holds his little princess Anna Christian William, who is only about 5 months old, next to Alexandre, who is holding Prince Albert Christian William, 2 and a half years old Pull the queen.

Little Princess Anna couldn't speak, but her blue eyes were wandering everywhere, as if she was listening carefully to the conversation of her parents.

The 2.5-year-old Prince Albert also quietly listened to the words of William IV, showing his royal upbringing, rather like a little gentleman.

Their parents, on the other hand, are teaching the roles of teachers and students.

“The mutual trust between people can easily be destroyed, even if there is no blatant betrayal. In many cases, people have lost their allies before they defected to the enemy’s camp. Trust me. Ask any politician of any profession and they will tell you that voters are fickle and erratic.

So smart politicians go to great lengths to show those who support them how loyal and reliable they are.

Haven't you noticed that our economy fluctuates back and forth with the refurbishment of the political calendar? In the first year after the election of the Dutch Prime Minister, the economy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands usually experiences various degrees of recession and decline.

However, before the next general election, the economy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will surely be back to life again.

Any Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands knows very well that he must end his term with the country's economy growing and prosperous or he will lose his chances of being re-elected if he wants to offend voters and let the economy If he goes backwards, or even directly reduces some social welfare purposes, he'd better start at the beginning of his election term, the sooner the better, because only in this way, when the next general election comes, the voters will forget that they once and suffering. "

"Why?" Alexandra asked hastily.

William IV looked at Alexandra who was listening carefully, smiled at Prince Albert, and shook Princess Anna in his arms before explaining:

"When you're going to inflict pain on people, all the pain should be applied to them quickly in one go, because the less time they have to savor the pain, the less irritated they will be."

Speaking of this, William IV sighed: "On the other hand, when giving people places, they have to give little by little, because only in such a continuous giving can people be able to give the greatest Feel your benefits to a degree”

Alexandra was shocked when she heard the words, is this what her husband said?

As expected of the monarch who pushed the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the status of a great power in Europe, it is not difficult for her to imagine that if William IV's remarks fall into the outside world, there will definitely be an uproar, and for those who like to engage in politics in the world, it will be A biblical wise saying.

The words of her husband William IV made Alexandra finally understand the real thoughts of people in the political arena. As the words of William IV entered the ears of Queen Alexandra, she felt that this time she Really half foot into the political world.

Although she did not understand why her husband, William IV, spared no effort in teaching, she wisely chose not to ask.

Because she understands that since he doesn't say it, there must be his reason.

"William, what you said made me understand why politicians from all over the world not only have to finish the tricky things that will cause a wave of protests after taking office, but they are not afraid of the result that they will not get a good start. It turns out, This is for people to forget over time.

That way, I think, they have to deliver a continuum of tangible benefits to voters in the months leading up to the next election."

"Yes" William IV said: "Smart politicians always show their loyalty by giving back at a time when their constituents are trying to judge whether their service is qualified. Just like last year's Belgian Kingdom of Junee In the re-election campaign of Dane, the voters of the whole country even pushed Jules Danetang to the throne of re-election Prime Minister with an overwhelming advantage. People just saw the recovery of the strong economic development of the Kingdom of Belgium starting in 1865. But they forgot that it was because of the mismanagement of his first term that he was in a continuous recession for the first year, and they didn't seem to understand that the short-lived recovery Ye Jingjing was just a recovery in a recession. And the culprit was Jules .Danetang."

Alexandra asked: "Then can I think that if a politician performs poorly or has a mediocre record in the period leading up to re-election, then no matter how well he did two years ago and how good the electorate was is huge, that will not help, he will be destined to be abandoned by the voters?"

William IV did not answer immediately, because he thought of a person - President Carter!

After he entered the White House in 1977 despite the serious danger of inflation, he proposed to reduce unemployment through tax cuts and a series of other measures to stimulate economic growth in Millikin.

It wasn't until the last year of his first term that he began to implement austerity measures. And to make policies to improve fiscal spending, and also to propose a sharply compressed election-year budget, was tantamount to political-self-shaking folly, so he lost the election in 1981.

Thinking of this, William IV sighed: "In one endless political game after another, voters often lack memory. This, Alexandra, you must remember."

"Well" Alexandra asked suddenly, "William, the politics of the campaign are like this, so how should the Netherlands face the world, n you know, the world is talking about this topic now?"

"You finally can't stand it anymore?" William IV asked teasingly. He said: "Rest assured, everything is in my estimation"
