Chapter 1776 Old Dog
In any activity requiring a "majority" of votes, voting, etc., it's not that more is better, or that the most needs to be pursued.

People don't need to do that at all, they just need the most basic numbers to reach the "majority".

Even if it is just right, 60.00% seven, as long as this majority situation is formed, no matter how many numbers there are, there is no difference from this number.

Like [-]%, does it make a difference?
No!

They are all decisively passed with the majority agreeing, and at most one hundred percent will add a "unanimous vote" achievement.

In essence, it is no different from 60.00% seven.

Mr. Delphi has experienced too many intrigues and political struggles in his life. He knows this very well, and he also knows that for the current Gladstone, all he really needs is the 17.00%, or 20.00%.

Even if you give him the rest, it doesn't make much sense whether he wants it or not.

Most of the situation has already been formed. Is it meaningful to add this one percent and reduce this one percent?
The elderly know this, and so do those political speculators. If they don't want to be the one percent that doesn't matter, what they need to do most now is to identify themselves and then negotiate.

Otherwise, once others do it first, they may be too late!

Everyone knows that this is the rule of the game, the way the game is played, and the situation today is much better than Mr. Delphi imagined.

At least, judging from the current situation, it is the best result for those people not to fall to the second candidate.

They can still fight for that part!
He then pointed out, "First select those small groups with a large number of votes, these people are more important."

These small groups, although there are only a few dozen or more than 20 people, but they account for a few percent, or even ten percent, of the total in the entire committee!
They are not like those individual individuals, which only account for a few tenths.

The effect of these people's grouping is far greater than those scattered votes. They may not be able to make the second candidate win, but they can't make Gladstone the winner.

Once the positions of these people are clarified and the talks are completed, the rest of the scattered ones will gradually attach themselves.

This is why it is said that as long as Gladstone's support rate returns to above 60.00%, he will be able to seal the victory!

Gladstone nodded, hesitated, "Do you think... there is a chance?"

He was talking about the third candidate. Mr. Delphi laughed, "You care too much about what you haven't got and what you may lose. These disturb your thinking. You should calm down."

"He has no foundation outside, who will support him?"

In one sentence, it revealed the truth about the ecological environment of the federal political arena!

Without capitalists backing him, why was he elected chairman of the Progressive Party Committee?
You must know that this position is not a position that only has power but no obligations. In this position, the thing to do is to let the Progressive Party continue to gain more supporters and have greater influence.

This cannot be realized by the chairman of the committee alone, nor can it be realized by relying on these cadres in the Progressive Party. It does not need the hands of capitalists to realize it!
You let a bunch of non-partisan people vote for you?
Why?
Those in the free camp can do nothing but make trouble. Why is the core theater of every general election placed in the swing states?
It is to allow those who have no political affiliation to stand on their side, and those who rely on propaganda will not agree with you at all.

Only when the capitalists are finished, will there be a chance to bring them over!
Whether it's free fried chicken and beer, or factory tax, or simply giving bonuses directly, let the capitalists do it!
There are some things partisan politicians can do.

But some things can only be left to the capitalists to do!

Mr. Delphi regards the second candidate as a danger because of his special status in charge of outreach, and he knows many capitalists.

The capitalists will provide him with "ammunition" that can not only attack political opponents, but also dissidents within the party.

As for candidate number three...

Mr. Delphi didn't take him seriously at all. This battle was always only between the two of them!

After returning, they quickly classified some committee members according to their usual cognition and put them together according to their cognition.

Among them, Senator Langdon's small group had eleven people, accounting for four percent of the total votes.

Not too big, but not too small either!
When Mr. Delphi saw this group of people, he suddenly remembered something, "I remember you called Lynch, how did you talk?"

In the eyes of Mr. Delphi, Lynch is the easiest to satisfy among this group of people.

Lynch is not in politics, the little girl next to him is taking the path of politics.

He won't lose so many assets in his own hands. As long as he doesn't run into this small circle by himself, Mr. Delphi won't be too wary.

The capitalist's demand is more money, just satisfy his demand for profit!

As for the little girl named Catherine, the mayor was elected.

When she grows up enough to influence the top leaders of the Progressive Party, the old man thinks that she may have been dead for many years at that time!
In addition, Lynch is actually a very good partner. He is willing to spend money and doesn't matter much.

Unlike some people who sponsor hundreds of thousands and come here all day to ask this and that, he never cares about things that have nothing to do with him!
Gladstone pursed his lips, "He wanted a definite answer, but I didn't give it to him."

Mr. Delphi was a little curious, "What does he want?"

Gladstone has a very close relationship with him, so naturally he will not hide it, "I heard what he meant, maybe he thinks his girlfriend might run for governor or congressman, and I hope I can support her..."

Yes, in fact, as of now, Catherine can run for governor and member of Congress, and even run for president without any problem!
In the Federation, there are also some successful cases of ordinary people who have not experienced the grassroots running for governor or congressman, but please note that it does not happen often!

It took almost a few decades for a single person, with no political background, to become a governor or a member of the House of Representatives as a civilian.

But these people will step down in two years at most, and four years at most.

Without political background and personal connections, even if they are given power, their power cannot be exercised.

The Federation is not a "power-based" country, unlike those feudal dynasties, where people only recognize "official positions" but not people.

You say that you are a governor, and people will listen to you whatever you want to do, because you hold great power and are a governor.

Impossible in Federation!

You say that you are the governor and you want to develop a certain policy. The first reaction of the people below is not "Okay, I will go to work immediately" but "Where is the money?"

If there is no money, people always have it, right?
No money and no one, who will regard you as the governor?
In a society driven by capital and profit, even if ordinary people rise to a high position suddenly, they will soon fall down!

Looking at those famous high-level officials in the history of the Federation, which one does not have a wealth of work experience at the bottom?
Even if the low-level working hours are short, at least the resume looks good!

People are more supportive of officials who have experience working at the bottom and know how to deal with basic issues, that's how voters choose!

As for why some people suddenly get support inexplicably, turning from ordinary people into important politicians?
In the final analysis, is it not to resolve conflicts and divide these conflicting groups?
Because politicians and capitalists know very well that power without a foundation is like a bomb, and the first to blow up is the person who holds it!
Lynch has now made this request. If he really wants Catherine to run for the governor or a member of Congress soon, Gladstone finds it very difficult.

One female governor is enough, no matter how much he may be targeted by some people!
And Congress is such a sacred place, whether it is the Progressive Party, the Conservative Party or the Socialist Party, they have never considered letting women in!

If Lynch asked him to honor it, it would be difficult for him to handle.

Mr. Delphi frowned after hearing this, but he relaxed quickly, "You don't have to worry at all."

"I remember that girl was also an intern at the presidential palace for a year, right?"

Gladstone nodded again and again, "Yes, it's Truman's way."

Mr. Delphi laughed, "Look, she came from a commoner, went to an ordinary high school, and later went to an ordinary university. She also had an internship in the presidential palace, was a city councilor, and now she was elected mayor..."

"Do you think the next step is for her to run for governor or congressman?"

Mr. Delphi's eyes are very cloudy, but there seems to be an indescribable look in his eyes, he can see through the confusion and see the essence of things clearly at a glance!
"With such a perfect resume, neither Lynch nor that girl will let her try to cross it so easily."

"It's like building a house. If the foundation is not laid well, the higher the building is, the faster it will fall."

"Lynch has great ambitions. He will not let Catherine run for governor or congressman so soon."

Gladstone thought about it seriously, and felt that it made sense, but in this world, there will always be some things that exceed people's expectations!

"But in case..."

"just in case?"

The old man laughed again, "The Congress intends to enclose a piece of land on the Nagalil side to establish a new state. Although Mariro has not yet been incorporated into the Federation, we are now managing it on its behalf."

"Also, don't forget, our agreement with Sedoras also requires about two to three governors over there."

"She, or Lynch really wants to make her governor in a short period of time, so let her go out there."

"This way you can also have an explanation, can't you?"

Gladstone was stunned for a moment, and he immediately nodded and said yes, "I know how to do it!"
