Chapter 2572
Politics is a special social activity.

Whether it is a sports competition or any other competitive activity, you can enter and exit.

To put it simply, a sports player can have low points and high moments in his career.

He can go up, he can go down, he can appear in any position.

The same goes for other types of activities.

But politics is different. Politics can only go up, not down!

If people pay attention to the resumes of successful politicians, they will find that they have always been moving up, and no one will "fall" down.

Even what people call a "trough" is actually just a lack of improvement within the time they think it is.

It doesn't really mean going down.

This is like a person who has been a governor, even if he is at a low point, he will still be in a comparable position.

For example, the speaker of a regional council, or the first or second minister in an important government department office.

It is difficult for those who have been governors to go back to become mayors, because this is the game of politics, unless they are willing to give up the subsequent upward path.

Ms. Tracey has been a governor, and seeking to be a member of Congress is an upward path for her, but it is obvious that she cannot do this, so taking a step back and continuing to be governor is a very good choice.

At this time, Ms. Tracy was still very disappointed and lost because Lynch rejected her directly.

Although she knew that there was a high probability of this outcome, she was still very disappointed and lost when Lynch rejected her.

"I didn't do it just for me!" she emphasized.

She actually had her own considerations about rushing the tower. Climbing the tower was not a simple matter. She risked offending the entire Congress not just to gain a higher reputation!

Lynch nodded slowly, "Yes, it's not for yourself, so I gave you a good choice."

"Madam, you should understand that when you have offended the entire Congress, if I don't speak for you, you can't even be the governor."

"You just wanted to ask if there were any other options. In fact, there are."

"You have another option, which is to form a new party as an independent free person. With your popularity among the people, you may be able to enter Congress in less than four years."

"But there is also a problem with this path, that is, you have to find enough people to support you."

Freedom of party and religion are both allowed and stipulated in the federal charter. No one can infringe on other people's political stance and religious beliefs. Not only must they not be infringed, they must also be respected.

Sometimes these federal laws look stupid, but sometimes they're endearingly stupid.

Ms. Tracy was stunned for a moment, "Can I?"

Lynch asked, "Why can't you?"

Ms. Tracy's rhythm and thoughts were suddenly disrupted by Lynch.

She thought she had no chance——

Even if she is willing to wait a few years, the probability that she will be able to enter Congress is not very high. After all, just because those members of Congress have left Congress does not mean that they are finished.

After members of Congress end their term, they may not serve in federal government departments and are just "ordinary people" without a formal job, but their political life is not over.

They still have sufficient influence in the political arena. The political arena is like a layered network, and the relationships between people are the intricate threads on this network, making it difficult to break.

Even if they are not in Congress, they can still influence Congress's decisions. Ms. Tracy is ready to rush to the tower again.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qi gave her an unexpected choice.

"I don't... know, Lynch, I haven't thought about this!"

Lynch's voice was gentle and gentle, as unhurried and clear as when they first met, ensuring that every word Ms. Tracey heard was something she could understand.

"The Socialist Party can hold multiple seats in Congress. Madam, do you think your influence is even worse than that of the Socialist Party?"

"It seems that the workers' unions are very powerful, but in fact they always follow the lower-class line. They have fixed their positioning on the 'working class' from the beginning."

"This is also the reason why it is difficult for them to make any big moves in politics. You can't expect a group of working class people to change the world, can you?"

"But you are different. You are the symbol of the victory of women's rights in the federation in the past 20 years. You are the object of admiration by many independent women."

"There are many women here who are at the bottom of society. They are ordinary housewives, female workers in factories, and there may even be female homeless people."

"But we can't ignore that there are also upper-class socialites such as the First Lady. Your influence is far greater than that of the Socialist Party."

"As for the funders, it's not as troublesome as it sounds. There are capitalists who are willing to invest for you when you hold high the banner of women's political rights!" Ms. Tracey's eyes gradually began to light up as she listened!
Yes, Lynch is right!
She has many friends, including several first ladies and noble ladies from the upper class. The influence of these people is not much worse than that of their husbands!
Like President Bowling's wife, her influence is even greater than that of President Bowling in many cases.

This lady has been doing charity for more than 40 years, and many people have received her assistance. Who can say that she has no influence?
Seeing that Ms. Tracey seemed to understand what she was saying, Lynch continued, "For politicians, united public opinion is what can ultimately move them."

"You have to thank the federal direct election mechanism. Without the direct election mechanism, the role of public opinion will not be magnified to the point where politicians need to compromise."

"The governor's election also requires the support of public opinion. If you can control the voters and votes of a state, then pushing a reliable person to come to power and then sending you to Congress is a very simple matter."

Ms. Tracy then asked, "What if people in Congress are still conducting various investigations against me?"

"Didn't you say so?"

"They will do anything they can to prevent me from entering Congress."

The reason why Ms. Tracy came to Lynch to talk about this matter was because she actually knew this very well.

She has offended Congress to death, and now the only people who can let her enter Congress are in the entire federation, maybe not more than a dozen people in total.

The only one among these people she could come into contact with was Lynch.

Apart from finding Lynch, she had no other choice but to continue rushing towards the tower.

But continuous tower rushes are not fun for her, and will only make the conflict between her and Congress continue to heat up.

Politics has camps but no positions.

Many people now have no hatred against her, but when some of these people enter Congress, they will have hatred and conflicts with Ms. Tracey.

So there must be a strong person supporting her so that she can solve these problems.

This is what she has realized in the past three years!

If she had chosen to retreat before the last tower rush, it was actually the same as the current situation. Choosing to rush the tower would have given her a little more possibility.

Lynch shook his head, "You haven't realized yet that you are not the only woman who desires political power."

"If you can really get to this point, a new interest group will be formed behind you, and they will be your most reliable support."

"So you don't have to worry at all. As long as you build up momentum, the rest is just a matter of time..."

Ms. Tracy took a deep breath after hearing this. Her mind was still a little confused. "Can I think about it for two days?"

"Of course!" Lynch did not force her to make a decision so quickly. "This is your freedom. You can think about it for as long as you like."

"No one is chasing you, so you don't have to make a decision in a hurry."

Ms. Tracy's mind was no longer here. After the two chatted dryly for a while, Lynch stood up and left.

After watching Lynch leave, Ms. Tracy locked herself in the study room all night!

At dawn the next day, she drove to the prison to meet her uncle.

Logically speaking, there are time intervals for visits. You can't just visit whenever you want or for as long as you want.

But these things are just thresholds set for ordinary people. For big shots, these are never problems.

Although Ms. Tracey's uncle is a member of the church, the struggle in the church is also very fierce. After a short period of thinking, he gave Ms. Tracey a positive answer.

"I think what Lynch proposes is a very good idea, and what's special about it is that you can escape political isolation."

"The reason we're in such a bad situation right now is because you're politically alone."

"Your father and I can't give you much help, and Lynch's help comes at a price."

“It’s hard to get any sense of support from anywhere else other than us.”

"So you are no match for them!"

"But this suggestion put forward by Lynch can change everything very well. You will form your own political force."

"You are no longer alone in politics, and our wishes can finally come true!"

"That's good advice, I think so anyway."

Ms. Tracy was greatly inspired after hearing this, mainly because her uncle told the reason why she was so embarrassed.

No matter who you are, if you want to achieve something in the political arena, you must have a "partner"!
