Blackstone Code Chapter 1411: Degenerate
"I hope the world will continue to be at peace and war and disaster will stay away from us..."
Lynch made a loud wish, then blew out the candles, and the birthday party was over to the chorus of congratulations.
After the guests left, the girls and the handsome guys started to clean up the scene on their own initiative. This didn't need Lynch or his maid to do it. This part of the money collected by these companies that specialize in event arrangement.
They're quick and professional, after all, that's what they do.
In less than forty minutes, the entire villa was restored as if nothing had happened!
Apart from the smell of birthday parties still in the air, it's the same as it used to be.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Senator Langdon arrived.
Because he can fill the senator's vacancy after the new year, he is also not suitable for appearing at Lynch's birthday party.
No matter how much people know about his relationship with Lynch, as long as he doesn't show up at Lynch's birthday party, no one can say they must be some kind of interest group.
In Lynch's study, the little maid brought some coffee and pastries and left, making Senator Langdon a little more relaxed. .
A closed environment can make people feel more secure, of course, provided that the person is not claustrophobic.
"Today the Progressive Party committee held a high-level meeting..."
Congressman Langdon took a sip of his coffee. He looked a little tired. "I'm lucky, maybe because I'm going to adjust my seat next year, so I'm also called by them."
"The attitude of the top leaders of the party is very serious this time, which makes people a little breathless."
Lynch just listened quietly, not expressing his opinion.
In Congressman Langdon's account, the atmosphere in the conference room has been very depressed since the afternoon session.
Rarely angry, the chairman of the Progressive Party committee berates some of the senators.
At first, Congressman Langdon didn't quite understand what was going on. Although he heard that the Duncan family was in trouble and knew that it was a big problem, he didn't realize that the trouble had affected Congress.
At the meeting, the chairman of the Progressive Party committee reiterated that politicians should ensure that their political positions are not constantly changing under the influence of capitalists.
In recent years, the performance of the Progressive Party members of the Congress has made the chairman of the party committee very dissatisfied. A considerable part of these people have been corrupted by capital and become the spokesperson of capital.
They forget the reason why they took the political road, forget that the duty of politicians is for the Commonwealth and the people of the Commonwealth.
He also said a lot of swear words at the meeting, and eventually more than two dozen MPs were named and criticized, of which fourteen were directly dismissed from their jobs for the coming year by the chairman of the Progress Party committee.
In other words, these fourteen MPs, eleven of whom are senators, will not be recommended and recommended by the Progressive Party, and they will lose their power!
Without the Progressive Party's recommendation, they would not have been recommended by the party and would not have become MPs.
The birth of federal members of Congress comes from two aspects. The first is the election of various states. Some candidates are elected by the state government, and then the natural citizens of the state vote.
Because this vote is not so fair and impartial, for example, some links are not announced to the public, which means there is room for manipulation.
In other words, whoever the governor thinks is more likely to be a member of Congress will be the lucky one.
Although governors have real power second only to the president in terms of power structure, they are also representatives of a certain line born within the party, and they are still responsible for the political group behind them.
In layman's terms, they also abide by the unanimous decision of the party committee, so the nomination list for the part of the Congress elected by each state is actually provided by the party committee. .
Without the election of the state government, the members of Congress who represent the interests of their respective states will have to be replaced.
The other part comes from the fixed seats under the weight of each party. They have different performances in different periods. Each party also has a fixed number of fixed seats in the Congress.
Not fixed refers to the total number of seats. Fixed means that these seats are selected by the party committee. Otherwise, a small opposition party like the Socialist Party that cannot win in a state will not be able to have its own seats in Congress.
What they enjoy is the treatment of fixed seats.
This is a set of very complicated and not so complicated election methods. Among these election methods, the most important thing is the attitude of the respective party committees.
They provide a list of candidates who can basically become members of Congress.
And as the federal population continues to grow in recent years, Congress will also be adding some seats.
However, this is all based on partisan-centered political groups, and its chances, even those of the House of Commons, will not fall on ordinary people.
Sometimes it's true that some people run for state elected congressmen, but these people often spend money and then lose.
They lack enough political support to compete with these well-organized, planned and scaled politicians.
In this closed-door meeting, the Progressive Party directly fired eleven senators, which can be said to have made many people's hearts full of crisis.
The fate of these members will not be very good. If they are smart and submit their resignation reports now, they may have a safe retirement.
If they attempt to resist, they will face various investigations.
The president is always smiling, the chairman of the party committee is always smiling, and almost all big people are smiling. This does not mean that they are all good people in essence.
If people of their level don't understand the cruelty of politics, they simply haven't achieved the ultimate achievement of these politicians!
The President of the Federation.
Party committee chair.
Party leader.
And so on.
Once the investigative committee is established, what these people may have worked hard for all their lives to get will be in vain, and they themselves may face prison.
No member of Congress has a clean **** after serving a term, never!
What happened today made Congressman Langdon feel a deep shock. When he was mayor, he felt that ... the senator, the governor, maybe the politician at the top.
Ordinary politicians basically don't think about things like the federal president, because the birth of the president is not something that can be changed by manpower. Ultimately, a party committee is needed to decide who is on and who is off, not someone.
But the top politicians in Congressman Langdon's mind, in the closed-door meeting of the Progressive Party committee, said they would be fired, and they were fired.
This kind of shock made him a little dazed. He has worked hard to this day, even at the expense of becoming Lynch's political spokesperson and lackey in the eyes of some people, but he can only get an unguaranteed future. He was confused.
What he wants is the real thing, not a false power that can be wiped out by others at any time!
Listening to Congressman Langdon's words, Lynch roughly understood what he meant, "Isn't this the most interesting part of politics?"
He directly gave a rhetorical question. Smart people will never answer others with declarative sentences. That is not smart enough.
Congressman Langdon's somewhat dazed eyes remained dazed, "I don't quite understand, Lynch."
Lynch crossed his legs and lit a cigarette. "You think it's a bit... psychedelic, but in my opinion, this is the most ordinary political struggle."
"The winner takes all, the loser loses all, and political struggles have never been moderate."
"In ancient times, those who lost political battles not only lost power, wealth, but also their own lives and even their entire families."
"And now, the worst outcome is loss of power, which is already very mild."
"Now all you see are losers, but we won't be losers, Langdon."
"At the same time, this in turn shows that the two parties have begun to purge these groups that represent the core political interests of the Duncan family. I believe this is not only the case for the Progressive Party, but also for the Conservative Party."
"After the new year, a large number of members of Congress will be replaced, and the worst part of the knowledge that is directly removed is just a means to warn some people."
"Both the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party, they all used this opportunity to clear out the 'dissidents' in the party and purify the position of the party. It was an ordinary meeting."
"The winner announces the loser's fate. Isn't this kind of picture happening all the time?"
"Business, government, military, world..."
Lynch shook his head. He could understand the state of Senator Langdon at this time.
The federal government describes federal members of Congress as the top politicians, and of course they are. The establishment and voting of federal laws and regulations are conducted by Congress.
They can even decide whether the president can continue to work - "Presidential Act of Impeachment"
The ultimate goal of many low-level politicians is to be a member of Congress.
But today, when a congressman from the bottom finds that his ultimate goal is also so "fragile", a certain belief that has always been shaken!
In Lynch's view ~IndoMTL.com~ is not a big deal.
Whether it's a political fight, a financial war, or any other game between people, the result is always the same.
Some people stand proudly in the sun to represent justice, and some hang their heads in the shadows like an outcast dingo to represent evil!
"I'm just..." Congressman Langdon shook his head. "I'm a little overwhelmed by what this brings to me."
"But you say it for a while, I feel better."
He had a smile on his face, and he realized something deep inside.
In the underlying political ecological environment, personal ability may be very important.
He can build Sabine well, even if the governor is upset with him.
On the contrary, when you get to the top, your personal ability will degenerate, and the political party group consciousness will start to decide. Everyone says you can do it, and you can do it.
Everyone says you can't do it, you can't do it!
