Chapter 1,316 Nationalization of Water Supply System
"Dear, how about this Prime Minister?" Anna, who was fiddling with the situation, spoke first, the blush on her face had not yet faded, and she looked serious, as if she was talking nonsense.
"Fortunately, no matter which party comes to power, Whitehall must cooperate with them." After saying this, Alan Wilson was actually thinking about the contradiction between the policies of the previous government and the Labor Party. Consensus politics is indeed the two pillars of post-war politics.
The consensus of the party, but the Conservative Party is the Conservative Party after all, and there must be differences between the two parties.
Why both the Labor Party and the Conservative Party are cautiously governing after the war is because in addition to general elections, there is also something called a by-election. Once the ruling party cannot widen the lead gap, the ruling party's precarious position will be very dangerous.
It is easy to be pulled down by a by-election.
"Perhaps he has learned a lot of socialist party governance experience from various countries. Isn't the leader of the Labor Party the vice-president of the Socialist International?" Bokina saw that the man of the same status as her husband seemed empty-headed, so she took the initiative to say, "No.
We know how Washington views his coming to power."
"I don't know. There are both positive and negative news." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly. What he said when he was in opposition was completely different from what he said when he was in power.
Coupled with the issue of the Second International nature of the Labor Party, Harold Wilson once repeatedly stated that he wanted to "maintain a strong relationship with the United States", so that in some aspects of foreign policy, the Labor Party's attitude may be closer to the views of the United States.
He proposed some specific plans several times to advocate that the West seek real cooperation with the Soviet Union.
But judging from the rumors that some British troops wanted to overthrow Harold Wilson in the late period of his administration, it seems that the United States and Britain were already dissatisfied with his and the Soviet Union's détente policy.
But one thing is certain. When the Labor Party was in opposition, Harold Wilson claimed to nationalize coal and iron. Once he comes to power, this election promise will most likely be fulfilled. It can be expected that the nationalization of coal and steel will be a disaster.
Rod Wilson's first goal since taking office.
Alan Wilson thinks this kind of move is okay. After all, because of his previous life, he is not averse to nationalizing some industries. Coal and iron are all extremely important industries to the country. By the way, there is also the nationalization of water supply.
I almost forgot that the Mountbatten Group is engaged in all of these industries and has all the relevant talents.
But is the quality of coal and iron ore in the UK? It can only be said that everyone understands it. This is an era of globalization. The quality of iron ore in the UK is no less than that of a major country. It is ranked high in Europe but not worldwide.
The quality of coal mines is nothing? Only the nationalization of the water supply system can be regarded as seeing no difficulties.
While the supreme authority was talking to the two dragoons, the Conservative government Prime Minister Eden, who was not mentally prepared to lose the election, submitted his resignation to the Queen. Subsequently, the Queen summoned the Labor leader Harold Wilson and appointed him as the Prime Minister of the Labor government.
Wilson later appointed a number of important cabinet ministers, including First Secretary of State and Economic Secretary George Brown; Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker; Defense Secretary Denis Healey; Chancellor of the Exchequer James Callaghan and the Leader of the House of Commons
Herbert Bowden.
Harold Wilson was happy at this time. Of course, he didn't know that he had already been in power for more than a year later than ever before. He was preparing to take over No. 10 Downing Street. He was in a state of complacency and seemed to be about to take office.
Make your own mark in British history.
When Harold Wilson arrived at No. 10 Downing Street the next day, Alan Wilson was already waiting there to pay his respects to the new Prime Minister.
"Alan, it's been a long time." Harold Wilson laughed heartily, very happy to see a familiar face. The two had worked together when they were in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They both left a deep impression on each other.
Alan Wilson nodded with a smile. It will take some time to see the impact of Eden's overturn on the Conservative Party. The most important thing now is to welcome the arrival of the new prime minister. Obviously, Harold Wilson, who became prime minister for the first time,
Can't wait any longer.
The early election card is not a sure thing. Eden obviously lost this time. There are also similar examples in Alan Wilson's mind.
Compared with normal elections, early elections are more like a political gamble, full of uncertainty. Although the ruling party won four of the six elections, including the landslide victory of the "Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher
But at the same time, there are also examples of early election mistakes. For example, British Prime Minister Edward Heath lost his bet. During the national campaign of the Conservative Prime Minister, he asked the voters: "Who is ruling the United Kingdom?" The voters voted for him in the subsequent vote.
The opposite answer sent Labour's Harold Wilson to No. 10 Downing Street.
Eden was clearly among the losers this time. He thought he could consolidate the Conservative Party's position by mediating the war between India and Pakistan, but he didn't expect that voters would not accept this idea.
"Dear Cabinet Secretary, please introduce yourself. I am the Political Secretary to the Prime Minister." A short-haired woman next to Harold Wilson stretched out her hand to say hello and introduced herself as Maria Falconde, the leader of the Labor Party.
Political Secretary.
"Oh, hello, my admirable lady." Alan Wilson greeted the party secretary in a friendly manner without seeing anyone else. He didn't like such a person, but there was no other way, it was tradition.
However, the political secretary has no power. Major matters are naturally the power of the cabinet, and daily decision-making power is in the hands of Whitehall. It does not seem to be particularly troublesome.
"Alan, there are still many places for you to help, and I don't have much experience." Harold Wilson took the initiative to speak. To be honest, the current Labor Party is completely different from the Attlee period. The Labor Party has also completed internal upgrading.
, the person with experience in governing is Harold Wilson, the current leader of the Labor Party and former Foreign Secretary.

.
Obviously, now the Labor Party needs to get familiar with the environment before implementing its grand plan. Alan Wilson immediately said that Whitehall will resolutely implement all instructions from the cabinet. Of course, he will first set aside time for the prime minister's team to formulate policies. This gap
Among them, he decided to comfort his conservative friends, such as Mrs. Thatcher.
Then I waited for Hepburn to see what major political strategy the Labor government would come up with. Hepburn was very surprised, "The government has changed, and you don't seem to be worried at all?"
"What are you anxious about, fulfilling your campaign promises? Isn't it just an issue of nationalization? Another thing that may be a threat is military spending. But in the current environment, I believe the Prime Minister will not take action on military spending. I am not saying that it is completely impossible, it is just a possibility.
Not big." Alan Wilson leaned back tactically, and his palms were already placed on Qiu Hua's shoulders from Hepburn's back.
"As long as you think it's okay." Hepburn could see that the man's mood was definitely not as relaxed as it appeared on the surface, so he took the initiative to kiss the man, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Originally, there were some, but as Audrey said, it means there is nothing at all." Alan Wilson got carried away. As a man, he always wanted to prove something in front of women.
He smiled lazily, moving his head only an inch so that their lips could touch. The laughter melted like sugar in the water, leaving only a cold sweetness in his veins. Emptiness and loneliness.
They all disappeared without a trace. Hepburn blindly put one hand around the man's neck, trying to capture the pleasure that spread all over her body like a waterfall of gauze. She leaned on him helplessly, her body trembling non-stop.
As if wrapped in a magic net, she felt that her reason and thoughts were directed towards this man, until Ellen Wilson became the center point of his existence. And the man's hands moved on her delicate body, and every touch was filled with excitement.
Light pity and sweet love are like miracles. Search for the secrets of her body.
A few days later, the Labor government got over its initial confusion and began to officially operate. With the great Harold Wilson at its core, the Labor government decided to implement its own governance philosophy.
As Cabinet Secretary, Alan Wilson was called to the Prime Minister's Office. Not surprisingly, the topic revolved around the second round of nationalized industries. In post-war economic theory, government intervention was not a mistake, and the Labor Party especially believed in this.
a little.
Harold Wilson elaborated on the idea of nationalizing coal, iron and water systems, and then asked Alan Wilson what he thought about this, "It would be good for the economy. Economic theory supports this."
"I don't know, Prime Minister." Alan Wilson said to himself that he had always regarded economic theory as nonsense. He hesitated and said, "But, we are taking care of the local water supply system in Malaya. We have similar talents.
, In this way, the coal and iron industry is a very important industry. No one denies this, but the water supply system involves thousands of households, so it is actually more important. Dear Prime Minister, how about we start with the water supply system? Of course, the Ministry of Finance
Colleagues have always been hostile to nationalized fiscal expenditures. Once excessive expenditures are made on nationalized industries, this may affect all aspects and harm British interests."
If the Prime Minister insisted on this, Alan Wilson would recall the Malayan water system officials to work on this livelihood project to help the Labor government fulfill its election promises.
"That's great, Alan. I thought there were difficulties at first." Harold Wilson did not expect that the communication would be so smooth. He also agreed with the supreme authority that people's livelihood projects are indeed extremely important and should be started first.
"Of course there are difficulties. We never avoid difficulties." Alan Wilson replied with a smile. Not only does he not avoid difficulties, he also takes the initiative to create difficulties when there are no difficulties.
