Chapter 2455

To control Congress, you do not necessarily need to control a 60.00% majority of seats.

First of all, regardless of whether so many people can be controlled by a certain person or an organization, the political and social impact and public opinion caused by doing so are enough to become a disaster!

The demise of the Duncan family is imminent. Why did this big tree fall suddenly?

It is because they miscalculated people's "awe" of the Duncan family, and also underestimated the prohibition of capitalists from controlling Congress by the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party.

So they're screwed.

If Lynch controls so much, then he will become the second Duncan family. Those politicians will never allow an uncontrollable capital group to completely override the rules of the game!

Does that mean that there is no way to control Congress?

Not really, because politics has never been a "passing" game.

In other words, the core of political games is not "winning", but "not losing".

It sounds complicated, but it's actually quite simple.

As long as Lynch can make a proposal fail to pass according to his wishes, it means that he has controlled Congress!

The rest is compromise and deal-making.

Not allowing a proposal to pass requires only 30.00% three negative votes, which is much more secretive than 60.00% seven yes votes!

At least it will not give people a view that "Congress is full of Lynch people", and although the current number of York Gang has not reached 30.00%.

But through political means and behind-the-scenes transactions, the overwhelming majority of proposals can be vetoed, which is enough to force people to deepen communication and compromise on many issues.

If they want to pass, at least they can't harm Lynch's interests.

Otherwise Lynch would have let their proposal fail.

Look, this is more concealed, and it will not arouse some people's resentment, nor will it detonate public opinion, but it can do everything.

The core reason for the downfall of the Duncan family was that they were too stupid!

Lynch has told Senator Langdon not to continue to expand the scale of the York Gang, and if it continues to expand, it will cause some unnecessary troubles.

Senator Langdon and Lynch stepped aside to talk about it, "He's from York State, Curryland, and they're good friends with their new governor."

"This new governor is not very stable, and he defeated others by a very narrow margin in the election."

"He doesn't have too much political power to support him, and he comes from a middle-class family, not a political or capitalist family..."

The governor is a doctor and a general practitioner. On the one hand, he won the election because he is very sincere. At the same time, the role of a doctor can also win the favor of many people to a certain extent.

The reason for his participation in the election is also very unexpected. To put it simply, Connor's presidential election manifesto stated that he would reform medical issues.

And he stated to the people that he would fully support the health care reform and strive to make their state the first pilot of the health care reform.

Under his leadership, he will reduce people's spending on medical services and get more medical protection at the same time.

This is like opening a cheating device. Even if his opponents chased him fiercely, he still couldn't win in the end——

Mainly because his campaign opponents are afraid to discuss the issue of health care reform, which everyone knows is actually a fire pit.

Using this as a policy concept is indeed very good at attracting votes, but if it is not completed after canvassing votes, it will be completely ruined later!

Those candidates were all from political families or big capitalists, and they would not spend half their lives betting on a short-term victory, so he won with a thrill.

After winning the election, his staff immediately suggested that he need to find a backer. Although it is not impossible to be governor without a backer, many issues with the federal government will not be easy to deal with.

The governor of a state has great power, and many times the federal and state governments are not on the same channel.

There will be contradictions, and if there are contradictions, there will be conflicts.

Those governors with good backgrounds have problems, and they can be solved with a few phone calls.

When a general practitioner encounters these problems, he can only numb his claws.

Finally, at the suggestion of their staff, they defected.

"So there is another governor besides him who is on our side now?"

Senator Langdon nodded, "He said he planned to visit you, but he was afraid that it would be presumptuous to come directly, so..."

Lin Qi thought for a moment and agreed, "Don't be too showy. Arrange a time when we can meet, preferably outside."

Outside refers to the outside of the city. Lynch met with the chief executive of the region in private.

Those conspiracy theorists, those with brain problems, they can completely associate World War III with this bit of information!

After chatting for a while, everyone was almost here, and Lynch also found a seat to sit down.

Federal parties are very "free", not all party members will have party positions, or have non-party positions.

In fact, the purpose of many people joining a party is to get a "party label". They will not bear any responsibilities, but they will meet part of the obligation-donation.

And when necessary, help other people of the same party within the scope of one's ability.

And if they need help, there will be other people from the same party to help them.

This is a group that is neither strict nor hierarchical.

So today there are a lot of people here that Lynch has never met, but they have all met Lynch, and people keep coming over to say hello to Lynch.

At about [-]:[-], everyone who was supposed to come arrived, and the party whip also walked to the rostrum.

After the brief opening remarks, it is the next voting session.

The professor sat not too far from Lynch. As a candidate, she was relatively close to the middle, the second row, and everyone could see her when necessary.

The voting process is very slow. First, there is the first round of voting, which will screen out those with low approval ratings.

Not everyone has to participate in the final vote. Only those with a certain foundation can make it to the end.

The professor's approval rating was not the highest, but it was not the lowest either, and he easily entered the next round.

Then passed the second round and entered the third round.

By the third round, there were only four candidates, and the professor was one of them.

She began to get nervous. Although she knew that she would be the winner in the end, she still couldn't help but become nervous.

Her breathing was a little short, her eyes were a little distracted, and she looked at Lynch's position from time to time.

Only Lynch can provide her with enough sense of security!
Perhaps this feeling is the same as those of Gladstone's subordinates when they voted, but it's a pity they couldn't wait for Gladstone!
Everyone is going to give a... campaign speech at this time, talking about some of their views on Congress and what they will do if they win the election.

If anyone has questions about their speech content, they can also have a question and answer with them directly.

The professor took the stage in the third place. As the only female candidate, the smart people had actually guessed the final result.

But they still don't want to believe it.

The professor was very gentle, she was not aggressive at all, emphasized the importance of "team" and wanted everyone to have and be able to exercise their rights!

These viewpoints are very appealing, especially for some committee members who usually do not have a sense of existence, they are very supportive of the professor's viewpoint.

Who really wants to be a backdrop?
Moreover, some people are in their 50s and [-]s, and they have devoted their entire lives to the work of the party. As a result, they take on the most important responsibilities on the most important occasions, but they can only be puppets and marionettes. They will not be reconciled?

In the past, they couldn't resist for many reasons, even if they resisted, there was no result.

But it seems that things are not the same now. The professor showed them some light.

Everyone gave her a warm applause when the professor left.

After the fourth person finished speaking, they entered a short canvassing stage.

Everyone started to leave their positions and communicate with those small groups or other people everywhere, such as exchanging opinions, exchanging interests, and asking them to choose who to choose and who not to choose.

During this process, the York Gang was also running around. Although some things were settled early in the morning, in order to avoid accidents, the things that should be done still had to be done.

Lynch never thought that "confirmation" would definitely be able to "execute". If this could really be the case, then the world would have entered a fucking new era.

It is precisely because of human uncertainty that there is such a complex society and diversity.

After the canvassing ends, the final vote begins.

The first candidate with a support rate of no more than 50.00% is directly disqualified.

The second candidate has just over 50.00%.

The next step was to vote on the professor's situation, and the result came out quickly, exceeding 80.00%, leading the No.2 candidate by a little more than 15.00%, leading the first place.

The fourth candidate's support rate also did not exceed 50.00%, and the results are out.

It was already past two o'clock at noon, but because the pace was very fast, I did not stop to rest, but continued until now.

With over 50.00% and the highest support rate, the professor became the new committee chairman of the Progressive Party!
Everyone stood up and applauded, they witnessed the arrival of a new era!

The news soon reached the ears of reporters outside. Some of those reporters who were eating fast food that cost 99 yuan and [-] cents didn't even have time to finish what they were holding. They threw it on the ground and ran directly to the phone booth under the steps. go!
The value of news lies in its immediacy!
In less than 5 minutes, the entire Bupen knew the latest results. The Progressive Party Committee had the first female committee chair in federal history!
