Chapter 1053 The weight of Dutch politics

At the Royal Palace of the Netherlands, William IV was in the garden, sipping red wine and teaching his eldest son, Prince Albert.

"Father, the results of the senatorial election have begun to be revealed one after another, and the Socialist Party is leading the way.

There are 39 senators. Among the 27 currently announced, the Socialist Party won nearly half of 14, the Liberal Party won 7, the New Christian Party won 4, and the Old Christian Party won the remaining 2."

"It can be said that this time the Socialist Party has achieved its greatest victory since the founding of the party."

Prince Albert asked: "How can the Socialist Party achieve such good results?"

After clinking the glasses with Albert, William IV said slowly:

"The difference between the Socialist Party and the Liberal Party and the Christian Party lies not in ideology, but in the structure of the electorate."

Prince Albert "???"

"The reason why the Socialist Party rarely uses flanking tactics is not only because of its weak funds, but also because of the low influence of traditional media and newspapers. The more important reason is that the leader of the party, Jules Danetant, has some rare candidates.

His personal qualities are enough to personally support his own influence and the image of the Socialist Party."

Seeing that Albert seemed to understand, William IV looked at his eldest son lovingly, and then said:

"You can go back and take a look at the current election process in the Netherlands. In almost all the Socialist Party's publicity campaigns, Jules Danetang rarely read the manuscripts, but he was able to freely express and talk about different issues."

William IV exclaimed:

“He is an excellent lecturer who has unique insights into various policy issues at home and abroad in the Netherlands, and is good at presenting them to the public in an analytical manner in the form of lectures.

This image is very easy to attract voters who are both rational and idealistic, and it is also the reason why young, highly educated men have the strongest support for the Socialist Party."

The appearance of William IV made Albert even more interested in Jules Danetang. Now the ability of the deputy prime minister and finance minister of the Netherlands made his father, the most powerful king in the history of the Netherlands, interested in him.

Pay great attention to it.

"Although Jules Danetang can accurately grasp the causes of social problems in the Netherlands, as a single person, he cannot provide appropriate policy solutions alone. This is caused by the Christian Party as the largest force in the coalition cabinet."

William IV pointed out its shortcomings, which was somewhat reasonable.

"So, if the Socialist Party succeeds this time, then it will be like a wild horse running wild, with thousands of horses galloping, and it will be unstoppable."

William IV felt a surge of emotion in his heart when he said this.

He has changed a lot since time traveling in 1857, but to be honest, William IV has not made much change in the Dutch political scene. In the past 25 years, he has made reasonable adjustments based on history, even Thor

In history, Baker was a prime minister who fought with his father William III in the ring and beat his father until his body collapsed. William IV used benevolent government to take advantage of his opponent.

Twenty-five years later, the Netherlands is no longer in the era when it was necessary to watch the balance between the Liberal Party and the Christian Party to maintain the power of the royal family.

And he, William IV, as the fourth king after the 67th anniversary of the restoration of the Netherlands in 1815, has also put the Netherlands firmly in his hands.

Including Tolbeck, a man who has served as prime minister three times and has been in power for 12 years, he also needs to lower his head and surrender when he sees himself.

Therefore, in 1870, William IV pushed the coalition cabinet system through Congress and the constitution was established.

By supporting the Socialist Party, breaking the two-party system in the Netherlands and taking the Netherlands off the track, the Socialist Party became a knife in its own hand.

Wherever it points, the Socialist Party will strike.

"Children, when they involve many issues and express many opinions, will inevitably arouse some justice and criticism, which will have an impact on the expansion of their film selection outside of the young group. In addition, covering too many issues may distract the focus.

Yes, voters lack core propositions, and on some complex issues, Jules Danetant’s personal understanding may not be perfect.”

William IV: "Jules Danetang is a wonderful man, you will know it later"

"Father, you always remind me to pay attention to things that are too big to lose. Will the Socialist Party become a challenge to our royal family in the future?"

William IV smiled confidently: "That depends on your control ability. If you practice your skills well, then no one will dare to touch your cheese, but if you can't protect yourself well, then it will be in vain to blame others, my child.

If you don't have the ability in the end, then the great Kingdom of the Netherlands is just me making wedding clothes for others."

Prince Albert understood that William IV was reminding him to learn more about governing the country and prevent the kingdoms built by the royal family from becoming someone else's!

“Although the Socialist Party is singing songs all the way, the challenges and crises are not small.”

"Why did father say that?"

"Results of Generational Change in Voter Structure"

"Have you noticed that in a recent poll, there was a high degree of substitutability in the competition between the Socialist Party and the Liberal Party. Although there is a transfer of money from middle voters, the choice of the former Christian conservative group is the more important reason."

Taking the old Christian Party as an example, the exodus of voters made it impossible for the prime minister to be elected, and the support for the party was less than 10% at the end.

"At present, the Christian Party is divided within itself, and they have left to form their own Old Christian Party. As a result, Prime Minister Lyndon and other pollsters cannot exceed 10% and even once fell below 8%."

"The Liberal Party and the Socialist Party took the opportunity to write letters in Dutch newspapers to further seize the opportunity and seize the conservative vote base.

For a while, the Christian Party failed to respond in time, became a marginalized person, and was eliminated early.”

William IV said calmly: "Son, politicians can never be trusted, you know?

They can make many promises for votes that they don't even know whether they can fulfill. Just like making a wish, it is a vision and a vision that echoes the voters' vision.

When you finally find out that these promises cannot be fulfilled, voters will turn from supporters to haters."

"But politicians are very smart. They will develop another batch of people. Yes, they will develop another generation of people to become their vote source."

Prince Albert: "So, what does father mean?"

"So, we can let them fight with a few gray rhinos first. As long as they don't hurt their muscles and bones, we can check and balance them. But we must be careful about the size and don't hurt the country."

"The Netherlands does not need a political party that is too strong to threaten our royal family. The Liberal Party has been in power for 16 consecutive years, which is the result of the Christian Party being useless. Therefore, when the Socialist Party confronts the Liberal Party, the new and old Christian Parties become weights in our hands. Understand
