Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Today, I am honoured to invite everyone here to the Conservative Party..."

Margaret Thatcher stood in the center of the stage, speaking elegantly and decently. At the age of 53, she had served as the British Minister of Education and Science, and became the leader of the Conservative Party in 1975, so she is very prominent in the aspect of personality.

Xia Yu listened to Margaret's speech quietly, and clapped from time to time.

After the speech, Margaret showed her vigorous and resolute personal style, and began to tell the people present the Conservative Party's governing policy, and elaborated on the benefits of the Conservative Party's policy to the UK and to the invited capitalists.

Xia Yu glanced at Elena beside him, and at this moment, he stared at the radiant Margaret on the stage, with a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Margaret's personality is really strong, Elena has been affected, and I don't know if it's good or bad..."

Xia Yu secretly said in his heart.

There is no doubt about Margaret's personal charm. Xia Yu is not touting her. You must know that in her previous life, Margaret was the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and she was re-elected as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for three consecutive terms. From 1979 to 1990, Later, it was not able to continue the legend because he failed to defeat his opponent in the party, Michael Helsetin.

In a previous life, the United Kingdom selected the 100 greatest British people in history, of which Margaret Thatcher ranked 16th.

Margaret Thatcher's speech is still going on. After she finished her ruling policy, she focused on the situation of the Conservative Party in the general election.

Parliament is the centre stage of British politics and the highest legislature in the UK. The government emerges from parliament and is accountable to it.

The British Parliament is bicameral, consisting of the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

Among them, the lower house has more power than the upper house.

The House of Lords is called the House of Lords and is mainly composed of descendants of the royal family, hereditary nobles, new nobles, judges of the Court of Appeal and important figures of the church, and the members of the House of Lords are not elected.

The most prominent right of the House of Lords is the judicial power left over from history, so it is the highest judicial organ in the UK.

The House of Commons, also known as the House of Commons or the House of Representatives, is directly elected for a five-year term.

The UK is divided into constituencies with roughly the same number of voters, each electing a member of the House of Commons. Most constituency MPs are members of a political party, but people without a political party background can also participate in elections.

At this time, the United Kingdom has a total of 650 constituencies, corresponding to 650 seats in the House of Commons.

After understanding the British House of Commons system, you can see that the British Prime Minister is not directly elected. The British general election is actually the election of a new term of the House of Commons.

When the members of a political party account for more than 50% of the total number of hospitals in the House of Commons, this political party is the ruling party, and the leader of the party is appointed by the Queen of England as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and is responsible for forming the cabinet.

If the party with the largest number of seats does not have more than 50% of the seats, then it can only form a coalition cabinet with other parties, and it depends on each party to negotiate with each party.

But one thing is certain, forming a cabinet together, even when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is a lame person, will often be tied.

At this time, the 650-area parliamentary elections have entered a climax, and some traditional Conservative Party constituencies have already yielded results. Now the Conservative Party has won 172 MP seats, 183 seats away from the half of 325 seats.

The Labour Party is not far behind. It has won 169 seats in the House of Representatives. It has achieved this result despite a bad reputation because the current Prime Minister belongs to the Labour Party and chose a favorable time to start the election for the House of Commons. This is the current Prime Minister. advantage of the ruling party.

As for the Liberal Democrats?

After being in power from 1916 to 1922, he has never been in power again, so the power has been divided up by the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, and it has been completely stagnant.

At this time, only 32 seats were won, which is pitiful.

Because the Conservative Party and the Labour Party have similar seats, the competition for unelected districts is fierce. Both parties keep increasing their exposure in the media, stating to voters the advantages of their own campaign policies, and wantonly criticizing each other. .

In addition, the Conservative Party and the Labour Party have also started the mode of burning money, holding political events for show and momentum.

There is only one purpose in doing all this, and that is the votes in the hands of voters!

...

Soon, Margaret Thatcher ended her speech and the fundraising phase officially began.

Because it is a political donation, there must be a lot of people who want to make a request later, so it is not anonymous. The Conservative Party has a special table and personnel responsible for collection and registration.

Xia Yu saw that some people had already walked over there and started to register for donations.

He was not in a hurry, but chatted with Gerald Pater.

If I remember correctly, Gerard Patt has indeed successfully ascended the throne of mayor of London, and it is undoubtedly a good choice to invest in him at this time when he has not fully risen.

After all, the Mayor of London is already a high-level British government. If he has a bad relationship with Gerald Pat, the threat of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose to Xia Yu will be greatly weakened.

In particular, the top leaders of the major departments of the Hong Kong government, the power of appointment is in the hands of the British government, and there are many places that can be manipulated and influenced.

"Mr. Gerrard, I have followed the election situation in London. Nick Kisson of the Labour Party is not your opponent, although his votes are a little higher now, so I congratulate you in advance on your successful election."

Xia Yu said with a smile.

Gerard Pat smiled lightly and said: "Thank you, but the Labour Party has a great influence in London. Although I have confidence, the result is not the end, and everything is still unknown."

Duke Carter Howard suddenly smiled and said to Gerald Pater: "Gerald, now your vote rate is a little lower than Nick Kisson, but if you have the help of Mr. Xia, I believe you are very likely. Beat him early."

Hearing what Duke Carter Howard said, Gerald Pat lost his indifference, he moved in his heart, looked at Duke Carter Howard, and then looked at Xia Yu with a smile on his face, with doubts on his face.

He didn't know the details of Xia Yu. Duke Carter Howard just introduced that Xia Yu was from Xiangjiang, a friend of the Howard family, the boss of his daughter Elena, and he just learned that he had purchased from Pearson Group. The Financial Times Group, he doesn't know beyond that, but now that Duke Carter Howard is saying that, there must be a reason for him.

Just as Gerald Pat was guessing, Duke Carter Howard gave him a solution: "Gerald, Mr. Xia has a reputation as a stock god in Hong Kong, and the Bright Fund he manages is not only a major shareholder of Huashang Bank, but also a major shareholder of Huashang Bank. It also owns the Financial Times Group and The Daily Telegraph.”

As soon as these words came out, Gerald Pat was shocked and looked at Xia Yu solemnly.

"Mr. Xia, I remember that the owner of The Daily Telegraph is Blake, right?"

"That was before. Not long ago, I just bought the "Daily Telegraph", maybe it's too short, the news hasn't spread."

Xia Yu explained with a light smile.

Although Xia Yu said it easily, Gerald Pat had to change his mind at this time.

Being able to acquire the Financial Times Group and the "Daily Telegraph" shows that Xia Yu's financial resources are abundant and he is a proper big money owner.

And compared to money, he values ​​the "Daily Telegraph" and "Financial Times" more. With these two top British newspapers in his hands, Xia Yu can be said to be a media boss. At this critical period, publicity channels effect is too great.

If the two newspapers kept promoting him, he would definitely have the confidence to beat Nick Kisson.

Duke Carter Howard is right. If Xia Yu is willing to help him, he will definitely win early.
