Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 245 Campaign Promise

Horizontally speaking, there are first-class citizens, second-class citizens, property owners, and proletariat.

The vertical sections include sexual minorities, gender and multiple genders, religion, ideological trends, environmental protection, Black Panthers, middle households, black households, etc.

In order to avoid every presidential election, we can only use low-level means such as universal welfare to attract votes.

Social groups that have been cut horizontally and vertically, and repeatedly cut, have become a pile of loose sand.

Everyone's demands are different, so satisfy the demands of some people and suppress the demands of others.

If the voting weight of religious groups is greater, then the demands of religious groups will be met.

They promise to identify this religion as a legal religion after successful election, or simply allow the construction of public churches, and the government will personally fund their promotion.

There is also a willingness to vote in voting. Under normal circumstances, most people feel that the matter does not concern them, so they are too lazy to vote. However, in vertical social groups, the willingness to vote will become stronger.

If that were the case, the church would require all of its congregants to vote compulsorily.

Although the number of believers is not large, if everyone actually voted, it would be better than any advertisement.

But there is also a problem here.

When you win over a part of the church people, you will inevitably offend the church people of another religion. The choice during this period is very important.

In other groups, while supporting some groups, they will also offend other groups.

After all, in a vertically cut society, the demands of many groups are inherently antagonistic and contradictory.

Therefore, whoever has a higher turnout rate and a larger group will get more commitments.

But in any case, their status as second-class citizens is inherently worse than that of first-class citizens, and therefore, few presidential candidates have paid attention to their demands in recent years.

But I also escaped a lot of right and wrong.

After all, just looking at the standard of living, it is no worse than the senior citizens of most countries.

After Joseph left, the staff looked at the phone again.

Only then did I discover that many presidential candidates have proposed radical ideas to completely abolish robots.

Robots are undoubtedly at the forefront of this period.

Whoever makes a statement that is in line with the people on this issue first will get more votes.

Robot-related industries involve the interests of too many people. Since the incident, the media from all sides have been pressing the heat.

In the past, presidential candidates have come out and shouted loudly that we must completely abolish robots.

In fact, there are many such voices, but most media outlets do not allow such voices to be heard and restrict their flow.

So he was quite surprised when he suddenly saw the top campaign promise to abolish robots.

"Wallace? Isn't this the richest man in Portman? Is he also running for the next president?"

The staff member who was checking his cell phone suddenly became energetic.

On the one hand, it is because of the other party's status as a wealthy man, who is often seen in the news, and on the other hand, it is because of his campaign promises.

While completely banning robots, set stricter immigration restrictions and strictly investigate all illegal immigrants.

In other words, the government has to start dealing with illegal households and middle households.

The promise to ban robots has the support of first-class citizens from non-robotics stakeholders.The commitment to strictly investigate all illegal immigrants has the unanimous support of all second-class citizens.

In the past, most presidents only sought support and canvassing from certain groups in a vertically divided society. The turnout rates of these groups were very high, which was much faster than directly recruiting people from the streets.

But the limitation is that there are relatively few people in the group.

For example, although various commitments related to sexual minority issues seemed to have the support of the whole society, when it came time to actually vote, only a small number of people voted, and most people had an attitude that it had nothing to do with them.

And there are many cross-cutting social groups.

Directly announcing that second-class citizens will receive more benefits would be an inferior method. It is not impossible, but many second-class citizens have become accustomed to being deceived.

Many candidates say this, but never one actually does it.

In the final analysis, the government went to great lengths to secretly divide Portman into first-class citizens and second-class citizens, just to avoid the situation of increasing welfare for everyone, and the finances simply cannot withstand it.

Therefore, the president’s will alone cannot completely overwhelm the Congress and the Legislative Yuan.

But restricting immigration is different.

What really makes life difficult for second-class citizens now is the entry of more and more middlemen and black households, who are taking over their jobs.

And if you want to take it back, you have to pay lower wages than them.

Over and over again, there is no way to guarantee the minimum wage stipulated by the government. They directly match the price of black households and middlemen.

Once the government really orders large-scale restrictions on middle and black households and drives them out, it will undoubtedly be a huge welfare improvement for second-class citizens.

It offers more benefits than any previous commitment.

He never voted.Even those who saw support felt that their votes were insignificant and were too lazy to vote.

And now even if he feels that his vote is useless, he has decided to vote in person.

At the same time, when the Fulan Interstellar media exposed Wallace's campaign promises on a large scale, the government and the opposition were shocked.

Why hasn’t the government taken care of middle-income households and black households for so long?

After all, isn't it because these people's labor is cheap?Behind them are the interests of major companies.

Nearly 50% of their employees are these middlemen and blackmailers.If this decree is really implemented, their corporate profits will at least drop by more than 20%.

So many presidential candidates see that.But no one has ever really exposed this campaign promise on a large scale.

In the final analysis, it was because the media refused to report.

You have outstanding remarks, but if the media does not help you to be exposed, there is no way that what you say will be seen and heard by the billions of people in Portman.

After Fulan Star Media exposed Wallace's campaign promises to a large extent, the headquarters of Foran Star Media was immediately bombarded with countless phone calls.

Many business executives and various forces have called him, wanting to ask what's going on?

Didn't we agree to suppress this issue together?
It sounds like you, Fulun, don't have many shady accounts.

This is the common interest of capitalists, and now you are taking the lead in breaking the rules.

"Boss, all the major business groups are calling to ask what we want to do? What kind of response do we need?"

Employees rushed in from outside in a hurry.
