Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Chapter 1031: The Christian Party Splintered at the Battle of the Battle

The Christian Party was at a disadvantage in the election, and some people couldn't sit still.

"The Christian Party still has many strong supporters and can reverse its disadvantage through reforms."

At 2 p.m. on December 29, 1881, three hours before 17:00 when civil servants got off work, Rasa, the veteran of the Christian Party, the largest party in the Dutch coalition cabinet government, said in a public interview with the radio "Current Affairs" that many Dutch people in Europe The northern Dutch are still loyal to the king and the Christian Party. Throughout the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Christian Party still has many supporters. He said that if the Christian Party launches an effective campaign strategy before the vote is opened tomorrow, he will strive to vote at 10 a.m. on December 30. He has promoted his own policies in the past and is good at using his own campaign strategies. He does not rule out the possibility of overturning his disadvantage in the upcoming 39 provincial and municipal elections in the Netherlands.

Rasha is the Senate whip of the Christian Party and the third-ranking figure in the Dutch Christian Party.

The Christian Party veteran also gave an exclusive interview to The Australian Times in his office in Melbourne a few days ago to share his views on the Christian Party’s future elections in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

When asked about his expectations for the Christian Party, Senator Racha hoped to restore the Christian Party, which was the largest party in the Netherlands during the last election. At the same time, he said that the Christian Party should return to the original intention of its establishment before 1815 and truly of fighting for the rights of the Dutch.

Rasha believes that the biggest challenge for the Christian Party is to convince its members and supporters to accept the Christian Party’s governing strategy and announced vision, especially since it has been labeled by the Christian Party as the “Dutch Interest Party” and “the most patriotic Christian Party” for many years. , he hopes to continue to be labeled by the outside world as the Christian Party.

When asked whether the United Socialist Party was able to govern successfully in the last general election, will it do the opposite this time and unite with the Liberal Party to suppress the powerful Socialist Party? Rasha made it clear that this discussion and idea did not occur in the Christian Party at present. Rasha even joked that the Christian Party would not act as someone's little brother, because doing so would reduce it to a third party.

Rasha even gave an exclusive interview to "European Times" yesterday in the Oval Office of the United States Congress in downtown Melbourne, which was built after the United States Congress. He emphasized that the Christian Party is still a relatively influential political party in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and plays a leading role in Dutch politics and society. Still very active.

"As long as we are not concentrating on competing with the Liberal Party, we have now switched to competing with the three parties of the Socialist Party. Now the political arena in the Kingdom of the Netherlands is very active and a bit messy."

"It's just that now I'm not a government official, I'm just a member of the parliament. I haven't entered the cabinet. The reason is naturally because my opponent Lyndon is too strong. He has the support of the Christian Party, whether it is the nobles or the military. We have received The message is that if I run for office, I will definitely lose in the party primaries and leave it to him.”

"Of course, it's just like the Hall family in Queensland that's been widely circulated now. It's unclear whether this family is a rumor or there is evidence to point out that the next generation of the Hall family became a senator because this family relied on their own family in the Queensland province. The power was facilitated and they were richer than Smith and Hall's opponents. They spent a lot of money to get him elected. These rumors were obtained from the information we collected. Many people who originally supported our senator in Queensland at the time were bribed by them. ”

The division between the old and the new Christian Party may be an eternal pain in Rasha's heart. The old party led by Rasha split from the new Christian Party faction led by Linden. In the end, the old party gradually weakened, and the new Christian Party led by Linden relied on He expanded his territory in the Far East and achieved great expansion. In 1871, he moved the capital to the Far East, which allowed the new power of the Christian Party to develop faster.

Lasha is right about one thing, that is, the strength of Linden's new faction was actually around the same time as the establishment and rise of the Socialist Party. The old faction was not favored by William IV, and the Linden faction became the mainstream.

In 1878, the old faction was originally unwilling to support Lyndon. Rasha originally thought that he could blackmail Lyndon and check and balance the new faction.

The conflict between the two factions was very fierce at that time, and many people from the old faction were accused and sentenced to illegal crimes. At that time, Lasha finally gave up the appeal in order to save his life, and finally established a united old faction.

Since then, the old faction has begun to decline. In 1879, the new faction unexpectedly joined forces with the Socialist Party to form a cabinet coalition government. In the past four years, the new Linden faction has gained the upper hand within Christianity. Although the old faction struggled, it was still only able to win a majority in the parliament. It's just a matter of wallowing in life.

The reason why Rasha said this publicly in the newspaper now is because it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Linden government will step down in more than two months.

Rasha learned many things from Linden's new faction, among which it would be a good idea to join forces with other parties to form a cabinet government.

In an interview, Rasha said with a smile that although he still had ideas and energy, he considered himself too old at the age of 75, so he declined the suggestion of the leading Christian Party, "I have left the frontline battlefield. At present, Preferring to step back and offer protection to anyone, but you have to be a Christian."

Rasha believes that most voters in the Old Netherlands still hope to get help from the Christian Party, so they continue to support the Christian Party, but he reminds, “If they are very disappointed with the performance of the Christian Party, they will turn to the Socialist Party and the Socialist Party in droves. The Liberal Party will not hesitate to change its political stance."

Rasha's rhetoric about his visit tickled the ears of all Dutch people that afternoon. But the one who has the most objectionable opinions is the new faction of the Christian Party to which Lyndon belongs.

Even Lyndon could not suppress him. Many people stood up and denounced Rasha as a hooligan, taking the opportunity to reap the remaining influence of Lyndon's four years in power.

These people are dissatisfied that the old faction does not support the Christian Party's approach of uniting internally and externally.

In this regard, the old faction was not to be outdone.

They all yelled at the new faction in displeasure.

At 16:00 on December 29, 1881, an hour before the civil servants got off work, the old faction of the Christian Party, dissatisfied with the suppression of the new faction, still announced that it would no longer recognize the leader of Linden Christian Party, and instead directly announced The Christian Party split into two, with the old faction becoming the Old Christian Party and breaking with the new Christian Party.

At the same time, the Old Christian Party announced that it would join the Socialist Party to participate in the Dutch general election.

At this point, everyone suddenly felt that the weather had cleared up after the rain, but when they thought about it, it seemed that the clouds had turned cloudy again.

Tolbeck, the oldest and most powerful former Prime Minister of the Liberal Party, said calmly to De Vries and others at this time: "Look, this storm has just begun to come? Just wait and see what happens next. It will change in this quarter." The end is still very early.
