Chapter 1,745 Signs of internal strife

Using the Russian president to check and balance the Soviet president cannot be blamed on the free world's lack of martial ethics. Wasn't the situation in the Soviet Union chosen by the map leader himself?

It is the head of the map himself who has cultivated his competitors bit by bit. As for London, there is a discussion about which of the two people is in power which is more beneficial to the free world.

The premise of this discussion is, of course, that the Khitan people's show of support for Lithuanian independence this time has made the free world shine.

Although the political ability of Tutou is enough to please the free world, with the emergence of the Khitan people, there is no lowest but lower level, and Tutou's status as a political star is no longer stable.

"The impact of the poll tax is huge, and the support rate of the Conservative Party has been low for a long time." After the meeting, Middleton discussed with Alan Wilson not the situation in Lithuania, but the domestic political situation. This time the conservative

The focus of the attack on the party was the poll tax policy.

"This is indeed difficult." Of course, Alan Wilson was not surprised at all. Both rich and poor pay the same amount of taxes, which is considered an extremely excessive policy among neoliberalism.

Of course, the richest woman is happy. In a sense, everyone is equal, but the current chaos has not been suppressed, which shows that this time Mrs. Thatcher kicked the iron plate.

Middleton looked at his immediate boss to see if he wanted to remind the Prime Minister. Alan Wilson shook his head, "Even if she knows it was a mistake in private, our Prime Minister is a woman. You can't expect her to admit her mistakes, at least.

The policy cannot be reversed until she steps down."

There are still millions of British people who refuse to pay the poll tax. As for the claims of these people, which seem a bit ridiculous, organizers who refuse to pay the poll tax say that if the people of Eastern European countries can overthrow their own governments, then of course British citizens can too.

Mrs. Thatcher certainly could not have imagined that the victory of the free world that she saw so triumphantly would in turn inspire opponents in her own country.

But that's the fact. Isn't there a saying that things are universally connected? He saw the victory of the free world, and those who opposed the poll tax also saw the victory of their own perspective.

Britain is now facing the largest civil disobedience movement in its history. This massive resistance movement has derailed attempts to collect taxes.

The once indestructible Thatcher government's support rate is now even lower than before the privatization reform. After all, the privatization reform only offended some people, while many others were beneficiaries. The sale of state-owned enterprises also helped the privatization reform raise a large amount of money.

funds.

But now the number of beneficiaries is too small compared to the number of people harmed. There are millions of people who completely refuse to pay the poll tax. In fact, it seems okay and it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

But this number is not all of the opponents. A larger group of people are paying the poll tax, but still oppose it, and support the protesters who refuse to pay the tax and continue to cause trouble.

Regardless of the position of the media, in every poll, more than 80% of the participants stated that they were opposed to the poll tax, but they did not participate in the protest.

In the eyes of most people, it is a blatant class tax. It ruthlessly takes from the poor and gives generously to the rich.

It puts billionaires on the same level as lower wage earners. The final bill will be about the same as an unemployed family in Lambeth.

In order to avoid the poll tax, some people must rethink the meaning of family. Many people believe that the reduction of the poll tax can be solved by being single.

Alan Wilson is familiar with this. As long as I lay low and reduce all consumption, no tax will hurt me. Obviously, the cost of maintaining a family is greater than that of a single person.

On another level, as mortgages soar, hundreds of thousands of people are forced into defaulting on their loans. Home repossessions are on the rise. Home ownership has become a nightmare for millions of people.

Bankers, industrialists and directors gave themselves massive pay rises, and the number of British millionaires increased by 400 percent in a decade.

For these rich people, with the implementation of the poll tax, the taxes they paid were much lower than before. There were many opponents of the Conservative government's policies. Before, they only held a relative majority. From now on, the people

Judging from the polls, the Conservative Party will definitely suffer a disastrous defeat in the next election.

What can Alan Wilson do? He is just a civil servant. It’s not like he hasn’t stopped it. Didn’t he object to it during interviews before? It’s just that the objection was ineffective.

Putting aside the refusal to pay the poll tax, Alan Wilson would not take the initiative to bring up this topic that made the Prime Minister unhappy. There were many happy things to talk about, such as Lithuania.

Who will win this confrontation between Tutou and the Khitans? This is not a good conversation topic, and Mrs. Thatcher also joined the discussion enthusiastically, "Who do you think will win?"

"Comparing these two people alone, it is very obvious." Alan Wilson replied with a smile, "Things over the past few years have shown that Tutou's ability is really not good."

The Khitan people must have the ability. You must know that Russia was a parliamentary country when it first became independent. At the end of the Soviet Union, the Khitan people also became the president of Russia through elections and competed with Tutou. This triggered the Maozi-ban government dispute, but

The Khitans backhandedly bombarded the White House to tell their opponents that he was not a fool like Tutou.

During the bombardment of the White House, the parliamentary faction that opposed the Khitans were also comrades who engaged in street politics with the Khitans at the end of the Soviet Union. In theory, they were not afraid of death. At least when the Soviet Union was still there, they all showed a righteous attitude.

The people were begging for their lives, but in the Russian era they suddenly surrendered.

So, there are no people who are not afraid of death. This time the Lithuanian incident has really taken a step towards armed conflict. He does not believe that the Lithuanians really dare to destroy everything and want to be independent.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mrs. Thatcher is also in a dilemma now. Tutou is certainly more trustworthy in terms of ability. The Khitans seem to be much more difficult to deal with than Tutou. However, as the Russian president, he supports Lithuania.

The temptation of independence is too great. Once Lithuania can become independent, theoretically all the republics of the Soviet Union can become independent.

In the past, people generally believed that Russia would be the biggest cornerstone to eliminate this possibility. Now judging from the Khitan people's statements, it is not impossible for the Soviet Union to disappear from now on.

Has it finally come to this point? It seems that all countries in the free world should have discovered that it is theoretically possible for the Soviet Union to disappear, but they have never believed it.

Alan Wilson believed that Mrs. Thatcher’s embarrassment was also the embarrassment of US President Bush, because the disappearance of the Soviet Union was undoubtedly a pie-in-the-sky dream. Intellectually everyone knew that this was a dream, so it really existed.

When opportunities arise, they don’t rush in, but they don’t believe it.

This is like saying that God is everywhere, but when God actually appears, everyone will most likely think it is a hoax.

The Soviet Union must be planning some unknown conspiracy, which is more likely than the Soviet Union to disappear. This can explain why Britain and the United States kept saying that they wanted to safeguard the sovereignty and integrity of the Soviet Union before the Soviet Union collapsed. No one really thought it was that stupid.

events occur.

Not long after, Chancellor of the Exchequer Lawson asked to meet with Mrs. Thatcher. Alan Wilson managed not to make the Prime Minister unhappy, but the poll tax involved fiscal revenue, so the Chancellor of the Exchequer was naturally the most worried and had to discuss the poll tax with the Prime Minister.

The actual situation of implementation.

The real situation is that the resistance to the poll tax, which started in Scotland, and the subsequent large-scale opposition in England and Wales, has caused panic throughout the Conservative Party.

In some constituencies, more than 50% of the people even refused to pay the poll tax. Although this confrontation was gentler than the original coal strike, it was more massive.

"Is it possible to alleviate dissatisfaction through certain subsidies?" Mrs. Thatcher has been troubled by the poll tax reform for a long time, and these idiots have no understanding of her painstaking efforts.

Everyone pays the same tax. Isn’t this what the Labor Party has always advocated for everyone to be equal? ​​Why is it not complying now?

It is impossible to abolish the poll tax. Mrs. Thatcher has never flinched since she came to power. If she abolishes it without saying a word, doesn't this mean that she is wrong?

Lawson was a little disappointed. He had already felt that Mrs. Thatcher was unwilling to abolish the poll tax. In the face of the interests of the entire Conservative Party and his own personal image, Mrs. Thatcher chose himself.

"There are already signs of internal strife within such a conservative party." Alan Wilson was flipping through the records of recent Conservative MPs' statements, while Ross was silent on the side. The princess's handsome son is not as romantic as she herself.

, it’s not like the cabinet secretary who has the same status as his father, who has no clue.

Ross would only answer when faced with a question, like now, "It is true that many Conservative MPs have expressed their dissatisfaction, and we may be short of a leader to resign."

"I don't want the Conservatives to solve this problem. The responsibility for the poll tax cannot be attributed to Mrs Thatcher herself."

Alan Wilson sounded as if he was trying to defend another member of the mom-and-pop shop, but that was not the case. He emphasized, "The blame for the poll tax, a big and hated issue, should affect the entire Conservative Party, not Thatcher."

one person."

It makes no sense for Mrs. Thatcher to be pushed out for thunder. The Conservative Party wants to cut off the country. The new prime minister will come up to gauge public opinion and then abolish the poll tax and continue preparing for the next general election, right? It's a beautiful idea, right?
