Chapter 1785 Gladstone's Thoughts

After a long wait and countless behind-the-scenes transactions, in early May, the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee was finally finalized.

Gladstone outmaneuvered his opponent and managed to rise to the top.

Even though the whole process is tortuous, the result is always satisfactory... Shit!
He promised more benefits in exchange for people's support, which is a lot more than he guessed!
He will need at least three governors on the bench at critical moments, help five Progressive Party officials enter the Senate if they have a chance in the future, and a series of large and small deals.

This made him a headache, he paid much more than planned, if he can't fulfill these commitments, he won't be able to sit in this position for long!

He must fulfill these promises before people will let him enjoy the fruits of his victory!

When the dust settled, Gladstone heaved a sigh of relief.

He didn't hold any celebratory parties to celebrate his becoming the "consul" of the Progressive Party for the next period of time or for a long time. His current status is different from that of the past, and it is not a good idea to have a party.

Because his identity is very sensitive, no matter whether he invites others or not, many people will come at that time.

With more people coming, it is inevitable that the people will have some opinions.

In the Commonwealth, the president is elected to celebrate that he will lead the Commonwealth in a direction he wants.

The governor can also celebrate after being elected, inviting some local celebrities to exchange feelings.

Even an elected mayor can organize a parade with floats!
But with the Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee elected, everything was so quiet.

Maybe someone will call him, but that's all!
Putting down the phone in his hand, Gladstone returned to the sofa and shook his wine glass gently. The fine wine in the glass exuded a faint fragrance.

It doesn't seem to smell very strong, but the hotness after the entrance is enough to make people remember its horror!
Mr. Delphi was sitting opposite him, and the old man had a smile on his face, which made him look kind, but also older!
The smile made the wrinkles more obvious and deeper, but he was still happy from the bottom of his heart.

Gladstone's ascension means that his political life can continue, and he can continue to be active in the political arena of the Federation. Some things that he dared not say or do before can now be said and done!
No matter what he says or does, no one thinks "this is a clear signal", he just wants to say or do it!

His arms were resting on the armrests of the sofa, and his fingers were intertwined. At this moment, he let go, as if he was holding something and sending it forward.

A small gesture to reinforce the context.

"Everyone is calling to tell you how happy they are, that's power, and now it's yours!"

Maybe that's why some people like money, like power.

Gladstone smiled and took a sip from his wine glass, holding it in his mouth for a few seconds before swallowing.

The hot feeling went from the mouth all the way down the esophagus into the stomach, and then melted away. The whole process was like this vote.

All the spicy and bitter before are for the final warmth.

He looked up at the old man sincerely, "I can get their support and thank you for helping me. You have helped me a lot and helped me out of the predicament. I don't even know how to repay you."

The old man smiled and didn't take these words seriously. If a politician heard these words, he would immediately take them seriously.

So obviously this is not a qualified politician.

And what he wanted, he already got it after Gladstone took over.

Now he still has a strong influence, people still respect him, not really see him as a normal old man, although he often says so to others!

In fact, politicians, like businessmen, are driven by interests!

The old man waved his hand, what should be done is still to be done, "This is the result of your own hard work, if people don't think you are excellent, even if we try our best, we will not be able to convince anyone!"

He paused as he spoke, "Okay, we won't discuss this issue anymore, what are your plans for next?"

"When you first took office, you have to let them understand you on a deeper level, and you have to show something!"

There is not only one idea in a party, it is like a group of people who want reform gathered together.

But what some people want to reform is education, what some people want to reform is health care, and what some people want to reform is the system of government itself.

Moreover, there may be conflicts of interest between these people because of the goals they pursue. For example, some people have vested interests in the current medical system, while others want to reform the medical care, which will inevitably damage their interests. .

So in the Progressive Party, although everyone is in a big group, not everyone is on the same line.

They have the same standpoint, but in more detailed directions, they may be walking in exactly the opposite direction!
Gladstone had just come to power, and he had to let the people in the Progressive Party and outside the Progressive Party see his policy program and political ideas.

He needs to find some people who can stand behind him and shout for him, and he also needs to identify who is not of the same heart as himself.

The easiest way is to tell people what ideals they have and what they want to do.

They didn't talk about this in detail before, but now that the opportunity is ripe, the old man wants to know his thoughts.

Gladstone had a brief talk with the old man before, and at this time his spirit was extremely excited and his thinking seemed very active.

After pondering for a while, he talked about his thoughts.

I don't know if it's the effect of alcohol, or if everything has been settled and there will be no more repetitions. What he said this time is somewhat different from what he revealed to the old man before.

"When the Progressive Party was founded, our pursuit was to change the world by ourselves. In the process, we changed many things."

"Laws, attitudes, ethos, but it's not enough..."

The old man frowned imperceptibly, "You mean..."

Gladstone emphasized his tone, "Continue to increase the intensity of reform. I appreciate Truman's courage. He dared to be the first to take action against one of the three major evils in the social security system. He is amazing."

These words are not hypocritical, the Gladstone family has always been famous for boldness.

Since his grandfather began to slaughter... no, it was the arrest of those bandits and horse bandits, a special gene seemed to be integrated into the blood of their family.

The old man's expression became flat again, and he said jokingly, "Are you going to do anything to the medical system?"

Gladstone froze for a moment, then calmed down, "I didn't say that, I just hope that I can do something for this country and its people."

"Aren't people nowadays pursuing lofty ideals?"

"This is my ideal!"

He said he couldn't help laughing, "Actually, it's more popular. I think we should let go of some things and look at the world again."

"Give people what they want, and they'll give us what we need. That's public opinion!"

What do people want at this time?
Jobs, money, and more and better social security.

The old man seemed to agree with his point of view, "You are right, I hope what you said can come true..."

But in his heart, he also decided that Gladstone seemed to have some ideas about health care reform, which was not a good idea.

Mr. Truman's ability to take action on the social security system is not a simple isolated incident, it is very complicated.

Of course, it can be said that the benefits of doing so are so great that he can even start a political family independently!

With the support of workers all over the federation, as long as he can use this power well, he will become one of the most influential figures in the federation's political arena in the next 20 years!

But in this world, there can only be one Truman, and there will be no second, third, even if they are not called Truman, they will not be called Gladstone!

Moreover, the reform of the social security system is essentially a compromise, stabbing oneself, and then using the interests of the people to make a compromise with the capitalists.

Not only did the capitalist not lose money in this matter, but he earned more benefits——

Employee insurance for business income and expenses!
But the health care reform is different. To start the health care reform is to move the most powerful group in the Federation. The biggest loser is not the government, not the people, but the capitalists!

As for why Mr. Delphi firmly believes that Gladstone's goal is health care reform, it is actually very simple.

The educational reforms implemented by the previous president did not stop just because he stepped down. Lynch is still building new universities all over the country. He intends to establish [-] universities in [-] states.

So education reform is already underway, and it is developing rapidly, and people are accepting new educational concepts.

Many public schools have also begun to adjust their teaching arrangements. Before, they didn't care so much about grades, but now they have some classes that are specially formed for grades.

The goal of the students in these classes is Lynch's colleges. As long as the scores are enough, they can go to college. Isn't this the biggest reform?

It's even fairer than any previous admissions method, because scores don't lie!

No one will increase their score by tens of points just because they can sing or cook for themselves, no!

Mr. Truman is doing the reform of the social security system, and it seems to be doing well. He has found a good balance.

The working class, capitalists, and government officials were all happy with the reforms he proposed, and they passed.

But he only mentioned the social security system, and he never mentioned the medical security reform within the social security system, because he knew very well that even if he had the foundation of previous success, he would not be able to shake the medical group.

If Gladstone wants to challenge the medical group, it's definitely not a good idea!
