Chapter 1745 – Signs of Infighting

Borrowing the President of Russia to check the President of the Soviet Union, this can’t be blamed on the Free World for not being martial, isn’t this current situation in the Soviet Union something that Map Head himself chose?

It is the map head himself, little by little to cultivate their own rivals, as for the London side, is discussing which of the two people ruling is more favorable to the free world.

The premise of this discussion is, of course, because the Chetan’s performance of solidarity with Lithuania’s independence this time has brightened the eyes of the free world side.

Granted, the political ability underneath Map Head is enough to make the Free World feel good, but with the emergence of the Chetans who have no minimum but only a lower minimum, Map Head’s position as a political star is no longer stable.

“The impact of the poll tax has been huge, and support for the Conservative Party has been looked down upon for a long time.” Middleton was not discussing the situation in Lithuania with Alan Wilson after the meeting, but the domestic political situation, and this time the Conservative Party was being attacked with a focus on the poll tax policy.

“That is really difficult.” Alan Wilson is of course not surprised at all, paying the same amount of tax regardless of whether you are rich or poor, and among neoliberalism is considered to be an extremely excessive policy.

Of course the richest woman is happy, in a sense this is also considered equal for all, but now brings the chaos delayed suppression, indicating that this time Mrs. Thatcher kicked the iron plate.

Middleton looked to his top lieutenant to see if he should remind the Prime Minister, while Alan Wilson shook his head, “Even if even privately it has been understood to be a mistake, our Prime Minister is a woman, you can’t expect her to admit her mistake, and the policy is unlikely to be reversed, at least until she steps down.”

There are still millions of Britons who refuse to pay the poll tax, and as far as these people are concerned the claims seem a bit nonsensical, with the organizers of the refusal to pay the poll tax saying that if the people of Eastern European countries can overthrow their own governments, then surely British citizens can too.

Surely Margaret Thatcher could not have imagined that the victories she had so smugly seen for the free world would, in turn, be the conditions that would inspire her country’s opponents.

But that’s just the way it is, isn’t there a saying that things are universally connected, and as he saw a victory for the free world, opponents of the poll tax saw a victory from their own perspective.

Britain is now facing the largest civil disobedience movement in its history. This massive resistance movement has nullified attempts to collect the tax.

The support for the once impregnable Thatcher government is now even lower than it was before the privatization reforms, which offended only some of the people and benefited many others, and the sale of state-owned enterprises helped to raise a lot of money for the privatization reforms.

But now the number of beneficiaries is too tiny compared to the number of people who have been harmed. The number of people who refuse to pay the poll tax altogether is a few million, which actually looks okay and seems to be not a big problem.

But that number isn’t the entirety of those who oppose it; a much larger group of people are those who are delivering the poll tax, but still oppose it, and support the protesters who refuse to pay it to continue to make trouble.

Regardless of the position of the media, the results of every poll, more than eighty percent of the participants indicate that they are in opposition to the poll tax stance, they just don’t go to the protests.

To the vast majority, it is a blatant class tax. It ruthlessly takes from the poor and congrats to the rich.

It puts billionaires on the same level as the lower paid. It will end up paying roughly the same as an unemployed family in Lambeth.

In order to avoid the poll tax, some people will have to rethink the meaning of family, and many believe that a reduction in the poll tax can be solved by being single.

This is something Alan Wilson is more than familiar with, as long as I lie flat lowering everything I consume, no tax can hurt me, and obviously the expense of maintaining a family is going to be greater than that of a single person.

As for the other dimension, as mortgages soar, hundreds of thousands of people are being forced to default on their loans. Home repossessions are on the rise. Home ownership has become a nightmare for millions.

Bankers, industrialists and directors have given themselves massive pay rises, and Britain’s millionaires have increased by four hundred percent in ten years.

For these rich people, the introduction of the poll tax has instead seen them delivering quite a bit less tax than before, and the Conservative government, which already had many opponents to its policies, had previously held nothing more than a relative majority, and judging by the polls now, the Conservatives are sure to lose the next general election badly.

What can Alan Wilson do, he is just a district civil servant, it’s not like he hasn’t stopped it, wasn’t it previously opposed in an interview, only the opposition was ineffective.

Putting aside the refusal to pay the poll tax, Alan Wilson will not take the initiative to mention this topic that makes the prime minister unhappy, there are a lot of happy things to talk about, such as Lithuania.

Who will come out on top in this encounter between the Map Heads and the Chethens? It wasn’t a great topic for conversation, and Mrs. Thatcher joined in the discussion with interest, “Who do you think wins?”

“It’s pretty obvious when comparing the two individually.” Alan Wilson replied with a smirk, “A few years have shown that Maphead’s ability is really not working.”

The Khitan’s ability is definitely there, bearing in mind that Russia was a parliamentary state when it first gained independence, and at the end of the Soviet Union, the Khitan was also elected to become the President of Russia and Map Head to separate from him, which triggered the Maoist version of the House of Representatives, but the Khitan backhanded a Cannonballing of the White House to tell his opponents that he wasn’t the kind of idiot that Map Head was.

In the shelling of the White House event, the parliamentary faction against the Khitans, the same is the end of the Soviet Union and the Khitans together with street politics comrades, theoretically not afraid of death, at least in the Soviet Union is still in the time, are showing a look for the people, in the Russian era suddenly raised their hands and surrendered.

So what, people who are not afraid of death does not exist, this time the Lithuanian incident, really step towards armed conflict that step, he does not believe that the Lithuanians really dare to destroy everything also want to be independent.

Mrs. Thatcher now also difficult, from the ability of the map head is certainly more trustworthy, the Chetan people seem to be much more difficult to deal with than the map head. But the temptation to support Lithuanian independence as President of Russia was too great, and once Lithuania could become independent all the republics of the Soviet Union could theoretically become independent.

Once upon a time it was generally assumed that Russia would be the biggest cornerstone in eliminating that possibility, and now judging by the Chetan’s stance, it’s not impossible for the Soviet Union to disappear from this point on.

Has it finally come to this? It seems that by now the countries of the free world should have realized that it was in fact theoretically possible for the USSR to just disappear, it was just never believed.

Alan Wilson believes that Margaret Thatcher’s dilemma is the same dilemma that President George W. Bush has, because there is no doubt that the disappearance of the USSR is a pie-in-the-sky dream, and rationally everyone knows that it’s a dream, and so instead of flocking to the opportunity, they will not believe it.

It’s like claiming that God is everywhere, but when God does show up, the odds are that everyone thinks it’s a hoax.

The Soviet Union must be hatching unknown conspiracies, all of which are more likely than the Soviet Union disappearing from this point on, which would explain the fact that Britain and the United States were paying lip service to maintaining the sovereign integrity of the Soviet Union before the collapse of the USSR, and that everyone really didn’t think that there was such a stupid event occurring.

It was not long before Lawson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, asked for a meeting with Margaret Thatcher, and Alan Wilson did what he could to keep the Prime Minister from being upset, but the Poll Tax involves revenue, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, rightly the most apprehensive, had to discuss with the Prime Minister the realities of the introduction of the Poll Tax.

The real situation is that resistance to the poll tax this one from the Scottish revolt, and England and Wales after the massive wave of opposition, has caused the entire Conservative Party panic.

There are constituencies where even more than fifty percent of the people refuse to pay the poll tax, a confrontation that is softer than the original coal strike, but even more massive.

“Is it not possible to alleviate the discontent by some subsidy.” Margaret Thatcher has been plagued by poll tax reform for a long time now, and these farts are not at all sympathetic to her plight.

Everyone pays the same tax, isn’t that what Labour has always stood for, equality for all, so how come they’re not complying now?

Rolling back the Poll Tax is out of the question, Mrs. Thatcher has never backed down since she has been in power, and if it is rolled back without a word, isn’t that just showing that she is wrong?

Lawson was a little disappointed, he had sensed that Mrs. Thatcher was unwilling to revoke the poll tax, in front of the interests of the entire Conservative Party and her own personal image, Mrs. Thatcher chose herself.

“So much for the signs of infighting that have now appeared within the Conservative Party.” Alan Wilson flipped through the record of the recent Conservative Party MP’s stance, Ross on the side of the silence, the princess of this good eldest child is not like her own so love brain, also not like and father the same status of the cabinet secretary general so, the mouth does not have a door.

It was only when confronted with a question that Rose answered, as now, “It is true that a number of Conservative MPs have already voiced their displeasure, and may be just short of a resignation to lead the way.”

“I don’t want the Conservative Party to address the issue, the blame for the poll tax cannot be laid at the door of Margaret Thatcher herself.”

Alan Wilson made it sound as if he was sticking up for another member of the couple’s store, but that wasn’t really the case, emphasizing that “the blackballing of the head tax, which is such a hated and big issue, should affect the whole Conservative Party, not Thatcher alone.”

There’s little point in Mrs. Thatcher being pushed out to take the thunder, the Tories want to cut and the new Prime Minister to come up and take stock of public opinion and then scrap the poll tax and get on with preparing for the next general election, don’t they? Nice try.
