Blackstone Code

Candidate debates were initiated during Mr. Trueman's time.

Mr. Trueman has a very special background. He lacks allies in the political circles and the public does not know enough about him.

He is different from those candidates from political families whose fathers, grandfathers, and even the whole family are politicians. The public's understanding of him is very limited.

Therefore, he must show some of his own style in the general election. The easiest way is to "quarrel" with other candidates.

For the people, the president's reply is a quarrel.

They attack each other on television, accuse each other, and sometimes greet each other politely and emotionally.

Through this kind of defense, the public can learn about the candidate and understand the candidate's political platform as quickly as possible.

Therefore, during the Connor era, defense became a very important part of the general election and continues to this day.

If it weren't for the impending Ice Age, it might have lasted for a long time, and someone might have passed legislation to make it a must-go step in the presidential election.

But the cruelest thing in this world is that there are not so many "ifs".

This is its third and final appearance in the Federation.

The whole debate shouldn't take long, about sixty to ninety minutes, if the candidates aren't so irritable.

The whole process will be divided into three parts, and the topics will be jointly selected by both parties. There will be no final scorer in this defense, and there will be no apparent winner.

The purpose and value of its existence is to more intuitively convey the candidates' political platforms and their governance ideas to the whole society through such a fierce collision.

So no one can rate them, and no one can decide who wins or loses.

Connor believes that the core reason why the swing states unexpectedly shifted to the Conservative Party during his election was that he did not try his best in the debate, or that he actually did not put much thought into it.

So this time, he asked everyone to prepare for the debate early in the morning and participate in it personally.

"Judging from the current debate rules, they are not that strict. In addition to not interrupting others' speeches casually, each candidate has sufficient time to express his or her views."

"The first part is a debate session on the issues of the three parties, the second part is a question-and-answer session, and the third part is a summary session."

"The issue we proposed this time is..."

Connor turned over the document in his hand several times. He was sure that nothing was written in it, and then he looked at Lynch in confusion. Lynch was responsible for this matter.

Lynch continued naturally, "Our issue this time is dignity."

Everyone in the room was a little unsure about whether this topic was appropriate. In the past two more formal presidential debates, economics and human rights have been topics that have come up almost every year.

Anyway, either the Conservative Party or the Progressive Party raised these issues. People in the whole society are very concerned about these issues, so having these issues can better convey their political views to the public.

Although this is officially the third campaign debate, there are actually not many people discussing it and studying it.

Connor attributed his almost defeat in the election to his poor performance in the debate, which actually caused people to attach extraordinary importance to it.

As for whether this is Connor's shirk of responsibility, it's actually hard to say.

But everyone has a very clear concept of campaign debates. You must have a good topic and then prepare around this topic. Only in this way can you attract the attention of voters!

Dignity...do people care about this?

Connor took off his reading glasses and sat back in his chair, "Interesting, tell me what you think."

Lynch gave him a cigarette and the two sat very close. "The documentary on the shelter made people pay attention to and pay attention to the situation in the shelter. They will worry about their future lives."

"Worried that they themselves will be like the protagonists in the documentary and lose themselves in a bad environment."

"Our social supply system can ensure that at least there will be no large-scale famine. After people are confused and helpless for a short period of time, the first thing they think about is how to live with dignity."

"The economy is a form of dignity, and so is happiness. It's actually a big issue, but it can also be a small one."

"Economic issues are raised every time. I noticed that there were similar debates in the mayoral and gubernatorial races in previous years, and economic issues have become a must-have."

"If we propose this again, the people will feel that there is nothing new, and our opponents will be very well prepared."

"If we cannot gain public support in the first stage, then once we enter the second stage and both sides ask each other, Catherine will most likely not be his opponent."

Lynch looked at Catherine as he spoke, "I'm not questioning your ability, it's just that our opponent is a very traditional federal conservative politician."

"He has the purest political blood flowing through him. Despicableness and shamelessness are his mottos. He can raise unlimited and embarrassing questions to make things difficult for you, because I believe he can do this."

"As long as he can win, he can ask any question."

"But you are still somewhat lacking in this aspect. You still have reservations in your thinking and are not despicable enough, so we will definitely lose points in this part."

Catherine is very depressed. What Lynch said is true. One of the core elements of politicians is that there is no lower limit.

As long as they can obtain political benefits, they can strip naked and run naked on the busiest streets, as long as the benefits are in place, or this can help them get more support.

Then they won't have any worries and start taking off their clothes——

Not even the socks will be kept!

Connor couldn't help but nod after hearing this, "So we need to get a good rating in the first part, so that even if the second part does not perform well, the support rate will not drop."

Lin Qi nodded in agreement, and everyone also expressed their agreement.

Moreover, the issue chosen by Lin Qi can really be big or small. On a larger scale, the issue of dignity can be related to the survival of a country, the survival of society, and the survival of civilization.

But on a smaller scale, it can also be a person's life and work. This is a very interesting topic.

A prepared speech will definitely be more appropriate than an unprepared speech, and it will be easier to gain people's approval.

"I'll prepare for this part."

Lynch took the initiative to take the job, and of course others had no objections.

Lynch's speech and language skills are very famous throughout the federation and even the world.

Some of his public speeches and speeches have even been compiled into volumes and published in order to let more people understand the charm of his language and personality!

Excerpts of Lynch's speeches are used as examples in some professional courses including university alliances, so no one will worry that Lynch can't handle this.

Connor put on his reading glasses again and picked up the materials, "So we just need to formulate a few questions and response methods?"

"This job is much easier than I thought!"

People showed kind smiles. If this is still difficult, then the opponent must be invincible!

Regarding what the opponent will ask, it's like... the question that students think about before an exam, what exactly will be tested?

This is a large-scale guessing party. Everyone is using their intelligence. They will write down the questions they think the conservative candidates will ask, and then sort them out and make statistics.

Then write standard answers to these questions and let Catherine remember these standard answers.

Once the other party really asks a similar question, she will be able to show her "quick thinking" side and organize precise language to answer the question very quickly.

This is also a good plus, after all, taxpayers hate to see someone waste their money on meetings and thinking about it instead of doing something.

Most people agreed that the Conservative candidate's questions should revolve around life and work in shelters. Lynch did not participate in this segment. Although he was smart, he could not have guessed what the other party would ask.

Just as everyone was offering their suggestions, Lynch came to the side hall and dialed the number of the Conservative whip.

"I heard that you have gained support from many people in the party recently?"

He had no idea what the Conservative candidate would ask, but he knew there were people who could help him.

The Conservative Party whip received the call and frowned after hearing the voices and greetings inside. "There are people supporting me, but not many."

This guy wasn't telling the truth, Lynch could tell, but he didn't care, "Have you paid attention to the antitrust reports during this period?"

After a few seconds, the party whip's voice was slightly higher, "You mean he did it?"

The "he" here, of course, refers to the Conservative candidate.

But he soon took the initiative to deny this possibility, "It shouldn't be him. Maybe someone intends to add some fog to make us lose our way before the election begins."

"Although I disagree with some of their decisions, I believe they will not be stupid enough to do these things."

Lynch did not argue with him, "Do you want evidence?"

The party whip fell silent for a moment.

Today's Global Communications and Wealth Bank are simply invincible. Even if the Conservative Party finally wins, it will be difficult for them to affect the rule of the official refuge.

At most, let them have some nominal power to rule, but the actual power will still fall into the hands of GTC.

This is still the best outcome. The worst or most likely thing is that they have no chance to go to the next era.

Once Catherine wins the election and the public's attention shifts from the general election to her and the restructuring of the federal government, Lynch can act unscrupulously.

Killing a president, killing a loser of an election, and killing a presidential candidate during an election are two different things!
