Chapter 525 Whose Throne?

The best time in three hundred years for British citizens to live is undoubtedly now, and although Britain’s international influence is slowly declining, the existing colonies are still vast, and the Labor Party has established basic welfare policies and health care.

At the moment the colonies are still vast and British citizens are protected, more successfully than in the original history of Airdrie’s tenure. With the European countries still having their own problems, things were arguably looking up for present day Britain.

And of course Alan Wilson talked to his fiancée about this election, the supporters on both sides.

“Old England should still support the Conservative Party mostly, the voice of the aristocracy is actually not very important. The big families are now moving their property out of the country, there are many destinations, the United States, Canada, Australia, and whatnot, but since Newfoundland’s taxes have been adjusted, the destinations have been unified quite a bit, and quite a bit of money is hanging on to companies in Newfoundland.” Pamela Mountbatten gave Alan Wilson an approving look as she said this, “And that’s thanks to you, my dear.”

The Conservative Party still relied heavily on the support of the Old Englanders after the war, these so-called Old Englanders generally came from the relatively wealthy south of England and were predominantly people who lived in the countryside, generally more conservative in their thinking and more ‘traditional’ in their political aspirations, more gentlemanly and aristocratic. The general country stereotype of a British gentleman is an image of a southern English formal dress, bowler hat, cane and umbrella.

“Isn’t helping you helping myself, and don’t say such things about the relationship between the two of us. I’m willing to carry your weight for you!” Alan Wilson said with a disinterested look on his face, “But by and large I recognize that you’re right. But who doesn’t like welfare?”

Labour’s welfare policy had its origins in Social Security and Related Services and was widely accepted by British citizens before the Second World War was even over, but the most impressive future vision of cradle-to-grave welfare articulated amongst this piece of Social Security and Related Services was a vision of white bread for every Britain.

So-called cradle-to-grave welfare would have made it possible to make such a vision in 1949. Alan Wilson felt that this was similar to the idea of the war of liberation which proclaimed that every Chinese person would have enough to eat.

So this welfare state welfare? It’s not a big deal at the present time, in the sense that didn’t he open his mouth? It’s Newfoundland!

It can be said that some of the mouth once opened in also can not be blocked, once Newfoundland is used to the current influx of hot money, then in addition to the Parliament of Newfoundland itself, no one can let Newfoundland to raise taxes. Because Newfoundland will eat this bowl of rice.

Even the British Home Cabinet has no right to order Newfoundland to do anything, it’s a Crown Dependency, and just as the British Labor Party can’t order the Australian Labor Party to do anything, the British Parliament can’t order the Newfoundland Parliament to do anything.

Unless Britain sends the Royal Navy to blow up Newfoundland, even forcing Newfoundland to become independent won’t work. Even if Newfoundland is kicked out, it will grab the tax haven status all the same, independent or not, the Newfoundlanders are already enjoying the benefits.

Old Englanders, including the aristocracy, were indeed supporters of the Conservative Party before, but it’s hard to say whether the most influential aristocracy among the Old Englanders, with Newfoundland as a window to catch their breath, will still support the Conservative Party as they once did.

And it was clear from the first post-war election that the British did not actually reject nationalization, and that the event that really made the British question liberal capitalism was the world economic crisis that broke out in the 1930s, the Great Depression in the United States.

In the midst of the world wars, all activities in Britain were carried out in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the state. Despite the fact that the war had hit the economy hard, prices were stable; despite the scarcity of supplies, there were few plagues of starvation.

That is why the coming to power of the Labor Party is also definitely not a coincidence as people think, and there is definitely a reason for it.

After New Year’s Day, in fact, the pre-election has already begun, the British election is not like the United States, almost a year in advance can be noisy, but in February the whole month before the election, the election atmosphere is still very strong.

The streets of London can always be seen in support of the Conservative Party and the Labor Party group in the rally, Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten shopping, but also in the Conservative Party rally next to the stop for a moment to listen to a moment in will what.

The two held hands and listened for a while, but did not hear the Conservative Party to attack the nationalization policy of the Labor Party, Allen Wilson whispered to his fiancée, “Now it seems that the Conservative Party has also learned to be smart.”

“It could be that the last election defeat gave the Conservatives a wake-up call.” Pamela Mountbatten guffawed, “It looks like Mr. Churchill should have high hopes of reclaiming the Prime Minister’s position in this general election.”

“Maybe so!” Alan Wilson also couldn’t help but laugh out loud, looking at Churchill’s experience in politics, it’s hard to say what his political philosophy really is, if you have to summarize it, what the voters support, Churchill supports.

The welfare policy of the United Kingdom was started by the Labor Party, but the Conservative Party did not repeal it after coming back to power, and likewise worked on the welfare policy as if the Conservative Party had opened up a welfare society.

As in the Toshiba incident, the Japanese blowing molded into the Japanese machine tool technology invincible, but many people do not know, the same batch of machine tools purchased in fact, there are French machine tools, the same period of time in the Soviet Union industry, there are countless high-end machine tools produced by European countries.

Eventually, Britain, France and Germany, including Sweden, one by one are all right, only the Japanese Toshiba was severely punished by the United States, which is simply the United States to find a reason to penalize Japan, and Japan’s machine tool technology has nothing to do. Even if Japan exports a screwdriver, it will be punished by the Americans when they see it. Japan put the Toshiba incident funeral ceremony, and the Conservative Party shouting welfare is almost the same.

The two men continued to wander, stopping by a Labor Party rally to listen to speeches by Labor Party members, which were divided into two main parts, the first of which was emphasized in Prime Minister Adderley’s last 1945 election speech, “Socialist Community of Great Britain!”

The second part, Alan Wilson, would be very familiar, “Make the British Great Again!”
“Hey!” Alan Wilson sighed, quite interested in what Making Britain Great Again was all about, and lingered a little longer.
“Believe it or not, my dear, I came up with that slogan first!” Alan Wilson lowered his voice.
“Really?” Pamela Mountbatten covered her mouth with a curious expression, “This slogan can be famous, it has a great support rate.”
“It starts from the last time I joked with Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevan.” Alan Wilson gestured for Pamela Mountbatten to follow him, with so many Labor supporters in the neighborhood, it wouldn’t be good to be overheard.
“It’s so funny, Margaret won’t believe it.” Pamela Mountbatten covered her mouth and sniggered, returning to the car before amplifying her voice.
“Huh? That idiot!” Alan Wilson held his forehead, not really feeling good about this.
“Alan, she’s quite honest now, she’s no longer hostile to you, and sometimes listens to your business with gusto.” Pamela Mountbatten took the opportunity to mediate between the two. So to speak that is also the daughter of the king, the sister of the crown prince, in the middle of the royal family status is very high.
Although it was unlikely that the two would have daily conflicts, it was always impossible to avoid meeting, it was better to maintain an amicable relationship.
Although the atmosphere of the election has been fired up, this election described by the Labor Party as a matter of the future of Britain’s greatness or not, from the radio, newspapers, and a variety of gatherings in the midst of the topic of discussion of British citizens, but Alan Wilson is still constantly running around.
The Foreign Office, the Commonwealth Department, the Colonial Department and the former Indian Affairs Department were in the same neighborhood, and after the Indian Affairs Department was abolished, the other three departments were moved directly into one building, only on different floors.
This day he was in the Colonial Department, and colleagues talk about the general election more optimistic about who, greeted a guest who came from afar. This guest is called Charles Brooke, at this time he carries from Pamela Mountbatten where to get half a million pounds in cash, into the Foreign Office building.
Alan Wilson happened to be on the floor of the Colonial Department, and naturally helped to start sharing the work, all of us are civil servants in Whitehall, it’s only right that we help each other, not to mention that the Foreign Office, the Colonial Department and the Commonwealth Department are all family.
After learning of Charles Brooke’s purpose, which was to buy back his throne, Alan Wilson and his colleagues in the Colonial Department were dismayed, but after discussing the matter, they decided to report it to the Foreign Secretary, who was busy campaigning for the election, but of course before this could happen it had to be made known to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and to the head of the civil servants of Whitehall, the Secretary General of the Cabinet.
Recently the Foreign Secretary, like the Prime Minister, had been busy with the General Election about the future greatness of Britain, and Permanent Secretary Ismay and Norman Brooke, after some discussion, had decided to write a detailed report setting out the matter to the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary.
The time was picked to submit it at a time when Prime Minister Adderley was in a hurry to attend a party conference, and the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary were very busy that day, not only attending the Labor Party conference, but also rushing to their constituencies to make campaign speeches.
To be Prime Minister in the UK you have to do two things, firstly your own party has to win, and at the same time the Prime Minister, that is, Alderley himself, has to win in his own constituency, and if Alderley is defeated in his own constituency, the Prime Minister is still the Prime Minister of the Labor Party, but it won’t be Alderley any more.
The current deputy leader of the Labor Party, Herbert Morrison, who was at odds with Aidley, was the one who lost his own constituency in the original campaign and had to see Aidley lead the Labor Party until he became Prime Minister.
During the general election, this report, which no one had been able to look at closely, was called back, and it was only logical that what came out was that after three years of losing the throne of the Kingdom of Sarawak, Charles Brooke got his throne back for the time being.
Pamela Mountbatten was very pleased and invited Charles Brooke to a reception, bringing Alan Wilson along of course.
“You are? It’s you?” After Charles Brook saw Allen Wilson, he looked at the man and woman in front of him arm in arm with a stunned face.
“Mr. Charles, forgetting so quickly, without me, you might have to be busy for a long time oh.” Allen Wilson looked at Pamela Mountbatten after his words, his gaze full of tenderness, “Isn’t that right, my dear.”
“From a global perspective yes, while the specifics may be debatable, but we can often come to the same conclusion from an objective point of view.” Pamela Mountbatten leaned over the man’s shoulder, “I think that conclusion is already known to Mr. Charles.”
