Chapter 1063: Is it really going to be sunny after the general election?

"The Netherlands is expected to enter a stable period after the election of senators and prime ministers in various provinces. The Socialist Party needs to seize the opportunity to show its ability to govern the country."

"yes"

On January 28, 1882, William IV met with the elected Prime Minister Jourda Netang after the second election at the palace.

Jules Danetant came here the day after the election results came out.

But that time it was a courtesy visit to the Royal Palace of the Netherlands.

This time, it was an interview. It was time to convince His Majesty William and to test his ability to govern strategic planning.

William IV looked at Jules Danetant in front of him. The 51-year-old was definitely an extremely young age among politicians from all over the world.

You must know that Tolbeck was 71 years old when he retired.

The British Viscount Palmerston passed away before retiring at the age of about 80.

So is his good partner Russell.

In short, in Europe and the United States in this era, the political life span of senior politicians almost always reaches its peak after the age of 50 or above, and then continues to maintain.

At present, the party capitals of the Dutch parties are relatively young. De Vries of the Liberal Party is 59 years old, and former Prime Minister Linden of the Christian Party is 55 years old.

The Netherlands does not prohibit the prime minister from eating twice-cooked pork, but he must serve two terms and then not run for the next general election. He can only continue to run after one term.

Therefore, after running for four or five general elections, Jurda Netang is still capable and worth cultivating.

"Your Majesty, my idea is that one of the themes of my new cabinet government is to unite the government and seize the opportunity to promote reforms, improve the economy, and win more voters to support our Socialist Party through good governance. Of course, the premise is that support

The Royal Family and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.”

"That's nice to say!" he said secretly, and William IV couldn't help but smile.

The Socialist Party pushed the Liberal Party to become the dominant party in the Netherlands in the general election this time, making both the old and new factions of the Liberal Party and the Christian Party extremely vigilant. Therefore, in the future, the interests of Dutch political parties will rise against the Socialist Party.

William IV believed that after the Liberal Party's defeat this time, the two factions of the Christian Party might unite and even make a compromise to promote Jules Danetant's cabinet to be re-elected in the next general election.

Therefore, now that Jules Danetant wants to unite the government, isn't it actually a way of breaking up others and uniting under his watch? Only through good governance and improving economic and people's livelihood issues can we win the support of Dutch voters.

William IV: "Next, the Socialist Party still needs to make a political judgment and choice. Should it continue to make concessions to the Christian Party or the Liberal Party to please the unity you mentioned, or should it consolidate the three major ethnic groups of the Socialist Party in the Netherlands: immigrants, indigenous people and even the old Dutch.

support, that is, to consolidate the basic market and expand its own scale of support.”

Jules Danetant faced William IV alone for the first time, and the issue of partisanship in the Netherlands was discussed. His Majesty William IV's unabashed style surprised Jules Danetant.

I didn't expect that His Majesty would discuss this directly, and he would do so without any scruples.

Without waiting for his answer, William IV said: "I agree with what you said after the election that it is necessary to unite all factions in the country to support the government's governance and achieve stability."

“I agree that the people also want political stability and better economic development. Therefore, since the Socialist Party came to power, it must start to rectify the chaotic aspects of the country before this election and implement the strategic plan before and after you came to power.

"

William IV also warned that "the Dutch election process showed that Dutch politics has regressed into racial politics. The Socialist Party will need to introduce more measures to please or appease other people such as the old Dutch and indigenous black people, and this will lead to

The unity government is between a rock and a hard place.

After all, the unity government will be struggling. Whether to introduce policies that are more open and competitive, or policies that are more pleasing to voters of all ethnic groups, you have to weigh the consequences yourself."

"yes"

Jules Danetang naturally understands the stakes here.

His political mentor Mari Philip had pointed out to him before that basically from the warm-up elections that started last year to the end of the general election, the Lyndon cabinet government has been dealing with elections and failed to promote many important policies.

Now that the general election has come to an end, there will be no major elections in the short term. The next time will be the mid-term election period two years later, which is the election of the other half of the senators, representatives of the House of Representatives and senior officials. Therefore, after taking office on February 20, the Socialist Party cabinet

It is necessary to grasp and demonstrate the ability to govern.

The current Foreign Minister Beit once expressed concern to him that the election results have made the problem of ethnic divisions in the Netherlands more serious. "In the past, Linden's Christian Party cabinet or the various cabinets launched by the Liberal Party over the years have improved the divisions."

The measures have not been effective so far, and the Liberal Party's attack on the difference in loyalty to the royal family between immigrants and old Dutch people has made the problem even more serious."

Giulda Netan understood this quite well.

He also understands that this is a difficult problem posed to him by Tolbeck and other senior leaders of the Liberal Party.

Jules Danetant said calmly: "Many people now believe that if the Socialist Party does not perform well enough in power in the next four years, the Socialist Party may be directly kicked out of office in the general election four years later, which will put great pressure on it and shake its unity.

The stability of the government. However, I still believe that the Socialist Party is currently the party that is best able to unite the Netherlands, and we will move forward together with other parties in the direction of the development of the Netherlands."

William IV still smiled and said nothing.

The current power structure of the Socialist Party is decided by the party leader Jules Danetant, the party chairman Joseph Beit, the Senate whip Mari Philippe, and the House whip Hester. It is also the layout of these four people.

This means that the power within the Socialist Party is relatively balanced, unlike the Liberal Party or the Christian Party, where one person dominates.

After a moment, he said: "You are right, but the Socialist Party cabinet government needs to be careful. The Liberal Party and the Christian Party won several provincial constituencies with an overwhelming advantage. Your Socialist Party won the mixed election with the greatest advantage. This

This situation may still lead to calls for a change of prime minister in the Netherlands."

He pointed out, "This is because after the warm-up for the general election last year, the Christian Party competed with the Christian Liberal Party for the Old Dutch people and made many strategic concessions and compromises. As a result, Linden's Christian Party also ignored the demands of some immigrants.

.

But unfortunately, the general election showed results, but Lyndon’s abilities were not rewarded, so you must avoid following Lyndon’s path in the future.

The Liberal Party is currently preparing for a new party leader candidate. The Liberal Party will review the current election slogans and policies next, and may even introduce the same intra-party policies and practices to attract immigrants as the Liberal Party. "This will
