1673 The Sincere Boy
Congress has no secrets!
Almost everyone in the Federation knows this sentence!
What this sentence means is that what happens in Congress cannot be hidden at all, and it will not take long for it to be spread out.
It may begin with the knowledge of some high-level individuals, and then the information begins to be passed on to lower social classes through the sharing of intelligence information or driven by political purposes.
In the end, everyone will know the news. The reform and amendment bill on the social security system proposed by Representative Williams has not yet been passed. It only held the first small-scale hearing, and not many people knew about it.
But the secret was leaked anyway.
Ms. Tracy knew the news and the general content. When she heard that Lynch was here, she immediately rushed over in a car.
Through her exchanges with the short Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee, she gradually realized that the federal political arena was not limited to the Progressive Party, the Conservative Party, and the Socialist Party.
Within each party, there are different small groups and camps.
Everyone stands together just because they have the same long-term goals. This does not mean that everyone has the same interests.
Therefore, it is quite normal for a party to have small groups.
However, there is also a problem here.
Having a small collective means that you have to take sides, just like if a politician wants to make any achievements in the federal political arena, he must and must join the Progressive Party or the Conservative Party.
If they don't, they will be fighting the entire political establishment!
Even if all the capitalists in the federation stand behind him, it may not work, because what they are fighting against is the mechanism of the federal society, not just some specific politicians!
Since she must take sides, Ms. Tracy also hopes that she can choose the side that ultimately wins, rather than the side that is doomed to lose.
But she is not very sensitive to politics, the political arena, and the fornication of capital and politics, and the source of information is single. She needs someone to point her in the right direction.
If there is anyone in this country who can explain all this to her, then it is only Lynch!
Not even her father!
Because her father is only a mayor, he is not even qualified to participate in the party committee!
After Lynch invited Ms. Tracy to sit down, she first talked about Catherine's work and campaign, expressing her full support for Catherine.
She will publicly invite Catherine to participate in state-level education reform hearings in the near future.
It would be inappropriate for her to appear directly on Catherine's campaign trail, which would give her rivals something to talk about.
For example, they would question Ms. Tracy's behavior as an obvious "political canvassing" behavior, and even question the possibility that the final result may be caused by some uncontrollable unexpected factors due to the interference of human factors.
The people of the Federation are sometimes very shrewd. As soon as those capitalists or politicians raised their forks and knives, they realized that they were lying on the dinner plates and started to make a fuss.
But sometimes they are too sensitive and therefore full of delusions of being victimized!
Therefore, Ms. Tracy is not suitable to appear in Catherine's campaign, but she can invite Catherine to participate in some political activities she holds, and there is no problem.
In fact, her coming here is equivalent to sending a signal!
After the two sat down, Ms. Tracy didn't say much to greet her. She and Lynch had known each other for many years, and their relationship had always been good.
She had nothing to hide or be embarrassed about, so she directly stated her problem.
"I recently learned about the issue regarding the Social Security System Amendment Act through some channels. Who should I support?"
Her question is very direct, and the content of the question is also very direct, without any detours, it goes straight to the core.
Lynch didn't think there was anything wrong. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "As long as it is what people want, it is what we should support."
He didn't directly tell Ms. Tracy who to support, but gave her an enlightening answer and let her think about it.
Ms. Tracey's response was also quite quick, "Are you saying that I should support this amendment bill?"
Obviously, she could imagine in her mind that people must support this amendment bill rather than oppose it.
This is public opinion, one of the core elements of federal politics!
From the mayor to the federal president, whether politicians can ascend to power and how much power they can gain in their positions all depend on how many people support them!
Even the president of the Federation is constantly fighting for public opinion.
Whether it is low-end political strife or high-end party struggle, support from the lowest level of society is indispensable!
The Social Security System Amendment Act is beneficial to the people. Ms. Tracy immediately understood how to choose.
In fact, this cannot be said to be how stupid she is, or how smart Lynch is.
It's just that Ms. Tracy does not come from a traditional political family after all. The reason why her father became the mayor was because of his uncle!
The influence of a patriarch on the believers in a region is so great!
Eighty percent of the people in the Federation believe in religion, and they believe in the same religion.
Including those new immigrants.
There is a very interesting federal survey based on interviews with new immigrant families.
The purpose of the survey is to count how these new immigrants quickly integrate into federal society and quickly become good friends with their new neighbors.
In this survey involving 50,000 people, the top answer was "go to the community church on weekends", and the second was "make a handmade pastry to share with neighbors."
This survey may sound a little weird, even a little interesting, but it exactly reflects the true current situation of the Federation.
About 25 million immigrants will actively give up their past beliefs, join new churches, and become members of the big family in order to better integrate into the federal society.
This is important!
In fact, most of the time, these immigrant believers do not believe in this faith that they may not have known much about before, and they are even less likely to believe in God, who knows whether he is the true God or not.
But in order to integrate into society, they will very blindly obey some of the church's... instructions!
It may not be a nice word, but it is what it is.
Priests of all levels tell the faithful what to do and when.
For example, when they need to vote, pastors, bishops and even patriarchs will tell them on TV that voting for a certain politician is a revelation from God himself!
When the surrounding native believers began to vote for those people, the immigrants, who accounted for almost half of the federal population, would also blindly choose that way!
The best thing they can do if they don't want to be ostracized is to listen to the community church pastor and vote for certain people.
This is the influence of religion on politics.
Ms. Tracy's father was able to become mayor because of this.
He may have some understanding of grassroots work, including political struggles, but he is not so familiar with the political form at the top.
This is why Ms. Tracey asked Lynch questions. She was not sure what the high-level political struggle would look like and how she should choose.
Fortunately, Lynch gave her a simple answer.
After asking this question, Ms. Tracey asked, "Do I need to do anything during this process?"
She looked at Lynch's slightly confused face and explained in a low voice, "What I mean is, should I stand up and express my views on this law clearly?"
"If it does end up passing, and I'm voicing my support now, isn't it..."
Lynch suddenly understood what she meant, then smiled and shook his head, "No need."
"This is not a feminist movement, ma'am, you need to speak out loud and get more support."
"Politics never requires you to take the initiative to show your support or support for someone. As long as you don't oppose it, it is a kind of support!"
"This is more meaningful than if you stand up!"
In the feminist movement, if we don't speak out loudly and attract social attention, many things will not be done.
But politics is not that simple. Just because you speak loudly does not mean that you are right or that you win.
Here, the antonym of opposition is not support, but... non-opposition!
Listening to Lynch's simple explanation, Ms. Tracy was a little embarrassed and annoyed with herself.
"I almost screwed this up, how can I thank you for helping me with this, Lynch?"
Ms. Tracey feels that without Lynch, she might have lost her job as governor.
This job has a different meaning to her. Not only does she gain the power to control a state, but more importantly, she has a sense of mission and a sense of responsibility to enter history!
She is a little addicted to power, but she has not faced this problem head-on. Everything she is doing now is to maintain these rights for a longer period of time!
Lynch shook his head, "No need. I have always been selfless towards my friends."
"And I also believe that you will figure this out even without me, so it's even less likely that I will need anything from you in return!"
"Don't let us become so strange..."
There is a kind of person named Lynch.
There is a kind of mouth called Lynch's mouth!
Ms. Tracy was very excited and a little touched at this time. Lynch gave her money to help her participate in the campaign, helped her contribute, and also helped her deal with her competitors.
Now he is telling her what to do next and what to do when faced with similar problems in the future!
All this is without reward!
What a sincere child!
No, sincerity cannot describe Lynch’s value in Ms. Tracy’s mind!
It should be sincerity!
Although he also has some minor problems, such as being a bit messy in his private life and maintaining close relationships with multiple girls at the same time.
But he is still young, he is still a child. In the light of his excellent side, can these be regarded as faults?
Even God will forgive him!
