Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Today, I am honored to invite everyone here to join the Conservative Party..."

Margaret Thatcher stood in the center of the stage and spoke elegantly and decently. The 53-year-old has served as the Minister of Education and Science of the United Kingdom and became the leader of the Conservative Party in 1975, so she is very prominent in her personality.

Xia Yu listened quietly to Margaret's speech, and clapped from time to time.

After the speech, Margaret showed her resolute personal style, and began to tell the people present about the Conservative Party's ruling policy, and elaborated on the benefits of the Conservative Party's approach to Britain and the capitalists invited.

Xia Yu's Yuguang glanced at Elena next to her, staring at Marguerite on the stage with a strange light shining in her beautiful eyes.

"Margaret's personality is really strong, Elena has been affected, and I don't know if it is good or bad..."

Xia Yu secretly said in his heart.

Margaret’s personal charm is unquestionable. Xia Yu is not touting her. In her previous life, Margaret was the first female prime minister of the United Kingdom and was re-elected as prime minister of the United Kingdom for three terms from 1979 to 1990. Later, because he failed to defeat his opponent Michael Hercetin, he failed to continue the legend.

In the previous life, Britain has selected the 100 greatest British people in history, among which Margaret Thatcher ranked 16th.

Margaret Thatcher's speech is still going on. After she finished her ruling policy, she focused on the current situation of the Conservative Party in the general election.

Parliament is the center stage of British politics and the highest legislative body in Britain. The government emerges from the parliament and is responsible for it.

The British Parliament is bicameral, consisting of the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

Among them, the House of Commons has more rights than the House of Lords.

The House of Lords is called the House of Nobles and is mainly composed of descendants of the royal family, hereditary nobles, newly-appointed nobles, judges of the Court of Appeal, and important figures of the church, and members of the House of Lords are not elected by election.

The most prominent power of the House of Lords is the judicial power left over from history, so it is the highest judicial organ in the UK.

The House of Commons is also called the House of Commons or the House of Representatives. Its members are directly elected for a term of five years. The main powers of the House of Commons are to legislate, supervise finances and the government.

The country is divided into multiple constituencies with basically the same number of voters, and each constituency elects a member of the House of Commons. Most constituencies are members of a political party, but people without political background can also participate in the election.

At this time, the United Kingdom has divided a total of 650 electoral districts, corresponding to 650 seats in the House of Commons.

Knowing the system of the House of Commons in the United Kingdom, we can see that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is not directly elected. The general election in the United Kingdom is actually the election of a new member of the House of Commons.

When members of a political party account for more than 50% of the total number of hospitals in the House of Commons, this party is the ruling party, and the leader of the party is appointed by the Queen of England as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and is responsible for forming the cabinet.

If the party with the largest number of seats does not have more than 50% of the seats, then it can only form a joint cabinet with other parties. How or with whom to join depends on the negotiation of each party.

But one thing is for sure, the joint cabinet formation is lame even if you become the British Prime Minister, and will often be at a loss.

At this time, the 650 regional parliamentary elections have reached a climax, and some traditional constituencies of the Conservative Party have already produced results. Now the Conservative Party has won 172 parliamentary seats, which is 183 short of half of the 325 seats.

The Labour Party is not too bad. It has already won 169 parliamentary seats. This is still achieved despite the bad reputation. The reason is that the current Prime Minister belongs to the Labour Party and chose a favorable time to start the election for the House of Commons. This is the incumbent. The advantages of the ruling party.

As for the Liberal Democrats?

After coming to power in 1916-1922, he has never been in power again. Therefore, most of the power has been divided by the Conservative Party and the Labour Party. It has been devastated. At this time, only 32 parliamentary seats were taken, which is pitiful.

Because the Conservative Party and the Labor Party do not have many seats, the competition is fierce for regions that have not yet been elected. Both sides have kept increasing their exposure in the media, stating the advantages of their own campaign policies to voters, and wantonly criticizing each other. .

In addition, the Conservative Party and the Labor Party have also launched a money-burning model, and they have held political activities to show off and create momentum.

There is only one purpose for all this, and that is the votes in the hands of voters!

...

Soon, Margaret Thatcher finished her speech and the fundraising phase officially began.

Because it is a political donation, there must be many people who will appeal afterwards, so it is not anonymous. The Conservative Party has a dedicated table and personnel responsible for collection and registration.

Xia Yu saw that some people had already walked over there and started donation registration.

He was not in a hurry, but chatted with Gerald Pat.

If I remember correctly, Gerald Pat has indeed succeeded in ascending the throne of the mayor of London. It is undoubtedly a good choice to invest in him before he has fully risen.

After all, the Mayor of London is already a high-ranking member of the British government. If the relationship with Gerald Pat is established, the threat of Governor MacLehose to Xia Yu will be greatly weakened.

In particular, the top leaders of the major departments of the Hong Kong government have the right to appoint them in the hands of the British government. Among them, there are more places that can be manipulated and influenced.

"Mr. Gerrard, I am concerned about the London campaign. Nick Kisson of the Labour Party is not your opponent, although his votes are a little higher now, so I congratulate you in advance for your successful campaign."

Xia Yu said with a smile.

Gerald Pat smiled faintly and said: "Thank you, but the Labor Party has a great influence in London. Although I am confident, the result is not the end and everything is still unknown."

Duke Carter Howard on the side suddenly smiled and said to Gerald Pat: "Gerard, now your vote rate is a bit lower than Nick Kisson, but if you have Mr. Xia's help, I believe you are very likely. Beat him early."

Hearing what Duke Carter Howard said, Gerald Pat was no longer indifferent. He moved in his heart and looked at Duke Carter Howard~www.ltnovel.com~ and looked at Xia Yu with a smile on his face. doubt.

He did not know the details of Xia Yu. Duke Carter Howard just introduced Xia Yu from Xiangjiang, or a friend of the Howard family, the boss of his daughter Elena, and just learned that he bought it from the Pearson Group. The Financial Times Group, he doesn't know anything else, but now that Duke Carter Howard said so, he must have his reason.

Just as Gerald Pat guessed, Duke Carter Howard gave him a puzzle: "Gerald, Mr. Xia has the reputation of Xiangjiang stock god, and the Bright Fund he manages is not only a major shareholder of China Commercial Bank, but also It also owns the Financial Times Group and the Daily Telegraph."

When these words came out, Gerald Pat was shocked and looked at Xia Yu solemnly.

"Mr. Xia, I remember that the owner of the "Daily Telegraph" is Black?"

"That was before. I just bought the "Daily Telegraph" not long ago. Maybe the time is too short. The news hasn't spread yet."

Xia Yu explained with a smile.

Although Xia Yu said lightly, Gerald Pat had to change his mind at this time.

The ability to acquire the Financial Times Group and the "Daily Telegraph" fully shows that Xia Yu's financial strength is strong and he is a proper big benefactor.

Moreover, he values ​​the Daily Telegraph and the Financial Times more than money. With these two top British newspapers in hand, Xia Yu can be said to be a media magnate, and in this critical period, propaganda channels The effect is too great.

If these two newspapers continue to promote him, he is absolutely confident to defeat Nick Kisson.

Duke Carter Howard was right. If Xia Yu is willing to help him, he is definitely likely to win early.
