"How did the king of a small European country become an icon of liberal power in Europe and the United States?"
On March 25, 1869, an article from the "Financial Times" of the British Empire, former British Prime Minister and the current Prime Minister of the Conservative Tory Party, Disraeli Political Asylum-Guardian - Former Tory Leader Edward Smith . Stanley is the author of the article, which shocked the world as soon as it was published.
The article said that this European country has been entangled with the British Empire for hundreds of years. It once held the title of sea coachman, it was once a principality under the Spanish Empire, and it was also a kingdom under the Napoleon Empire. The angry scene, and the concession in South Africa has won the Australian continent, which the Netherlands has long dreamed of. In the past few years, several international organizations have been established, such as the International Federation of Women's Associations, the International Hague Tribunal Organization, the International Labour Union, the International Red Cross. Associations, these are also international organizations.
There are also many local regional organizations, such as the Nordic Alliance, the South American Alliance, the Deep Blue Pacific Partnership, and together with Sweden it hosts the Germanic Federation.
There are many others, this country is a typical and important "Western European country"
However, although the king of this country has been in power for 8 and a half years, he has visited only a handful of times in various countries. Even during his recent visit to the Netherlands, he did not meet the kings of the countries or the prime ministers of the ruling party, but went to meet the former prime ministers instead. And the predecessors are still prime ministers or dead enemies!
King William IV of the Netherlands met with Clayston, the former British prime minister and leader of the liberal opposition Whig party, last week. Belgium's northern territory, the Netherlands, as Belgium's northern neighbor, was originally a friendly partner of Belgium, but now it has become the source of Belgium's invasion.
Ironically, William IV did not invite Queen Victoria to the Netherlands, nor did Prime Minister Tolbeck invite Prime Minister Disraeli of the British Empire to Amsterdam.
Prime Minister Tolbeck just invited former Prime Minister Clayston, who was the leader of the British liberals, to visit the Netherlands as the leader of the Dutch liberals, and also held the so-called "Global Liberal Political Action Joint Conference" to prepare for another In the UK's not-so-long Prime Minister's General Election and Parliamentary Mid-term Elections, he beat the Conservative Tory MP election and the re-election sought by Prime Minister Clayston.
Moreover, the former Prime Minister of Creston won the honor of being received by William IV. You must know that many prime ministers who visit the Netherlands do not have this treatment.
Against economic conservatism, against not supporting global economic integration, against not allowing immigration, against discrimination against women...
This is a proposition that William IV has repeatedly reminded of.
Clayston crossed the English Channel via the North Sea to Amsterdam, not just sitting in a VIP room, Clayston was also allowed to give a keynote speech to the Dutch Parliament entitled "How We Struggle", listing his location How did the Whig party in the British Empire support the globalization of the Dutch economy, oppose the conservatization of the British economy, dissatisfied with the Tories for not allowing Britain to immigrate to the outside world, wage a culture war against liberals, dissatisfied with conservatives xing discrimination, etc. A series of outstanding "combat exploits."
All of this, His Majesty William IV agreed very much, and even for this reason, His Majesty the Dutch King issued a crown medal to the former Prime Minister of Creston.
You must know that since William IV Beloved ascended the throne to inherit the Dutch throne on December 1, 1861, he has adjusted the medals of the same level divided by the Royal Order of Nassau, which are used for gifts to foreign royal family members and dignitaries when visiting the Netherlands. This At present, it seems that only the current President Andrew of the Commonwealth of Millikin received the medal last year, and no one has taken over the medal from William IV.
Because the second recipient of the Medal was the former British Prime Minister Viscount Palmerstower, who was born in the Whig Party, and he received it after his death.
It is conceivable that the Whig party has already had two former prime ministers awarded the medal for friendship with the Netherlands, isn't it interesting?
King Willem IV of the Netherlands told former Prime Minister Creston: "We have to face immigration, gender, clash of civilizations". "If you separate the Germanic civilization from the Slavs and the Latins, it can lead to conflict.
If you separate European civilization from Judeo-religious and Christian-Christian traditions, it's a diachronic disaster"
When William IV even faced Clayston, he recited a section of the Dutch constitution that stipulated that "marriage is limited to one man and one woman", and said, "We want fewer cross-dressing queens and more Roris, We need more children, not support infertility in disguise."
There was a thunderous applause from all Christians, both left and right, in the Netherlands in parliament.
The Netherlands today seems like the "European Party-Ministry" of the Whig Party of the British Empire.
Speaking of the 1868 British Empire general election, William IV said: "You Whigs have two years of social practice preparation", "Choose the path of least resistance, you will never win, we must take back 10 Downing Street in London and Amsterdam. the system of friendship bonds”
Speaking of conservatives, Clayston said: "They hate me, and they hate me and my country, just as they hate you, and they hate you and the British Empire you represent."
On March 26, 1869, No. 10 Downing Street, where the Prime Minister's Office is located in London, was asked about this and could only respond awkwardly: it was Clayston's private trip.
In fact, as early as January this year, when the kings and presidents of the Tsarist Russia, Austria-Hungary, the Commonwealth of America, the Ottoman Empire and other countries visited Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Prime Minister Tolbeck was very satisfied at the summit Claiming that the Netherlands is "the bastion of European liberal Christian values" is an exaggeration. Today's Netherlands is like the "Europe-Party-Ministry" of liberals around the world.
King Willem IV of the Netherlands was born in 1840 and Creston in 1809, a 31-year difference between the two.
The territory of the Netherlands is only about a quarter of the size of the British mainland. In terms of overseas territories, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is only about half the size of the British Empire, and its economic scale is only 1/3 of the British Empire.
However, in recent years, William IV has become the "leader model" of liberals and Christian Protestant nationalists in European countries and even the whole world, relying on the nature of his personality and policy. status.
It is especially important that William IV's shadow Prime Minister Tolbeck has been a member of the Dutch Parliament for more than 40 years, and the Prime Minister is currently in his second term (plus the 1849-1853 term as Prime Minister for a total of 12 years). ), and the popularity of public opinion in the Netherlands is still more than 70%. Perhaps after one term, he may only run for the prime minister at the age of 70.
Many people predict that he and Huntington, the speaker of the House of Representatives who have caused troubles over Europe some time ago, may lead the liberals to win more than two-thirds of the seats in the Dutch parliament again and continue to control the Dutch House of Representatives and Senate.
With the support of William IV, it is extremely controversial to keep the liberals in power, but the support rate in the Netherlands is as high as 75%, which makes it difficult for the Christian sect to turn over in a short time.
In the face of such powerful Dutch liberals, can the liberals of the British Empire be able to take the leadership of the liberals of the world?
Can Creston beat the duo of William IV and Tolbeck?
