1183 The Last Scene

There are many things happening every day.

Someone is born, someone dies.

Some people have gained love, and some people have just ended a relationship.

Everyone is the protagonist and supporting role of this world, acting out different scripts and experiencing different psychological processes.

There is no one who cannot live without it. If there is, it is just that the person did not think about it for a while.

Mr. Trueman was paying attention to the progress of the talks, Charlie (sister) just wanted to get the amnesty order as soon as possible, and Mr. Wycliffe was thinking about how to use the existing advantages in his hands to settle things.

Lynch, on the other hand, has returned to Sabine City.

The election of federal city councilors is a direct election by citizens. Different numbers of councilors are elected according to the size of the city and the number of permanent residents.

This also means that small cities will have relatively few councillors, while big cities will have quite a few councillors.

In a city like Bupen, people have to check at least a dozen to twenty people on dozens of lists in every election.

Big cities have the advantages of big cities. Once selected, you will have greater power and the level you can access will be higher.

At least, big capitalists in big cities and capitalists in remote rural cities are completely different concepts.

But small cities are not without their benefits. Look at the federal city councilors who have been re-elected for a long time. Opportunities all occur in small cities.

The political environment and stance in small cities are relatively simple. As long as you have a little energy, you have a great chance of winning and being re-elected.

The term of a city councilor is two years, and they can be re-elected indefinitely. In some places, city councilors themselves are important economic pillars of the city. It is normal for these people to work for ten or twenty years.

This time, in the direct election of Sabine City Council members, there is someone whom Lynch is more concerned about, Catherine.

The election is this week, and there is only one last speech left. After this speech, it is time to face the public opinion answer sheet.

No matter how nice a politician's words are, it will not have any impact on him. Only public opinion is the key.

It often happens that what you say sounds nice but the people don't buy it. How to please the people and gain their trust has become an ability that federal politicians must master.

Everyone has their own method. Some people participate in various political programs, and some have more interactions with voters. Everyone's method is different. The only thing that is the same may be their purpose.

"I'm a little nervous!" Catherine sat in front of the makeup mirror, and a makeup artist was making final adjustments for her.

She actually looks quite mature. A girl in her twenties, with professional attire and makeup, looks older than she actually is.

People are sometimes surprised. They always feel that young people are more motivated and often say that we should give young people more opportunities. After all, young people are the future of this society.

But when it comes to choosing who will be responsible for their future, they tend to favor the elderly.

Their views will change at this moment, thinking that older people have experienced a lot, they have more mature experience and more experience, and only these people can grasp every choice.

Therefore, during election speeches, Catherine's appearance will be more mature, preferring to be a rational and intellectual working lady, rather than a young girl.

The target next to her looked at her, very satisfied, "You have done better than all the peers I have ever seen, impeccable, you know?"

"It's your opponent who should be nervous, not you. All you need to do is walk on stage with a smile on your face and defeat them calmly!"

In fact, they all knew from the beginning that the probability of winning was very high, very high, but they were still a little uneasy when it came to this step.

Even with the support of the mayor and governor, as well as some policy promotion by Lynch, it ultimately depends on the attitude of the citizens.

Catherine must gain the trust of these people before they will check her name on the next ballot.

As the time approached, the former university journalism professor opened the door to the room and said, "It's time, it's your turn!"

Catherine took a deep breath, cheered up, stood up and walked towards the door.

As she entered the stadium, many citizens cheered.

People sitting in the stands greeted her, and she kept responding to them.

Politicians always have to show how close they are to ordinary people, and how far away they are. There may be only a few steps between them, but they have no chance to talk face to face in this life.

Catherine stepped into the center of the stadium, Sabine Municipal Stadium, one of the finest stadiums in Sabine and the state of York, which is currently owned by Lynch.

Looking at the audience that was nearly half full in the stands, Catherine felt it was not easy.

The entire stand can support 30,000 people watching at the same time. It is normal for the seats to be full. This is not a weekend or a rest day. It is actually very rare to have so many people come at such a time.

Other congressmen, including city congressmen from other regions, will rent some small venues when they give speeches, or even do not rent small venues and directly speak in the open air.

This would at least allow a space in front of them to be filled with people, thereby proving their worth.

The fact that so many people are here today is also related to the new ideas that Catherine has been promoting during this period - education reform.

Only education reform can allow so many people to gather here during non-holidays.

There may be fewer pedestrians on the road in Sabine City today, because those without jobs have all come here.

Walking to the middle of the stadium, Catherine stood behind the podium. She pursed her lips and smiled, tilting her head slightly, "Thank you everyone for taking the time to come. When I was inside, I was still thinking about what to do if there is no one outside. "

A very flattering opening statement, but how could she not know what was going on outside?

Someone kept telling her how many people came and what the specific situation was.

All she needs is a less intense, gentle opening that can bring people closer and soothe their emotions.

After people's good-natured laughter continued for a while, she also organized some speech notes on the podium, a watch to remind her of the time, and other things.

"I know that everyone is very concerned about education. This is also an issue that I am very concerned about. In fact, if you know me well enough, you must know what we have all gone through."

Some viewers immediately said those things, she and Lynch couldn't go to college because they had no money.

She nodded. Senior politicians may not like to be interrupted during their speeches, but for politicians at the bottom of society, interacting with voters may be one of their ways to please them.

"Yes, you are right, we cannot afford to go to college because of poverty."

"At that time, Lynch and I thought that someone had to do something. At that time, we placed our hopes on others, but the facts told us that even if we prayed every day, we would not be able to change everything in the end."

"If you can't go to college, you still can't go to college."

"And this has become one of the motivations for me to stand here today, education, and education reform!"

Quickly moving to the core of a speech in a few simple sentences is the main method of most speeches. In fact, voters don't exactly want to chat with politicians.

An occasional exchange of words can strengthen the connection between each other, but chatting all the time is a waste of time.

Everyone wants politicians to be more efficient, and chatting and talking nonsense is obviously not one of them.

People started clapping, that's all they cared about.

"What I thought was the most unfair thing at the time was that some people could get admission to a prestigious university and get a full scholarship with a letter of recommendation, without even knowing how to do an arithmetic problem, and without proving themselves."

"This is unfair. I have been angry and silent about it."

“I may not have had such ability before, but now, it’s time to make a change.”

"I can't make the entire federation change, but I can make some changes here in Sabine City. I hope people in other places will forgive my selfishness first. This is my hometown."

"If I can succeed here, then I will try to promote the successful experience and successful model so that more people can benefit from it!"

Next are some specific measures. In fact, the education reform itself has no special content.

It is nothing more than allowing more people to go to school and be able to afford it, but it is such a seemingly simple problem that has troubled the federation for many years.

It remains a problem to this day.

People listened carefully. This was related to the vital interests of each of them. They were more serious than ever.

Who can live without a child, and who can resist the temptation of going to college?

Going to college, in this day and age, meant a good job, a chance to enter the middle class, and the realization, even if only a small part, of the federal dream.

The atmosphere gradually became more heated, because what she said sounded more likely to be true.

If social universities with lower thresholds and more lenient student loans can be realized, then the education reform mentioned by Catherine will not be a problem at all.

Even they, their children, can benefit from this change.

Such a warm atmosphere was pushed to a climax with the appearance of Lynch.

"I didn't know you were coming." Catherine also looked at Lynch in surprise and surprise. She really didn't know.

After the two hugged each other, Lynch walked to the podium. He looked at the audience with a mischievous smile on his face, like a young man, "I didn't tell her..."

Just a simple sentence can make people laugh inexplicably. Sometimes personal charm really plays a huge role.

He held the podium and kept his sunny smile, "I know some people are doubting whether what she just said can be realized, and the purpose of my coming here is to tell you that it will definitely become a reality!"
