Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Albert also asked: "Father, why is Jules Danetang so popular?"

William IV: "I think there are four factors that make Jules Danetant so popular"

“First of all, the Dutch political landscape is undergoing a generational change, and the younger generation has new expectations and needs for politics.

Second, the Socialist Party adopted a unique propaganda approach that made them unique in the minds of voters.

Third, Jules Danetang has unique personal characteristics and attracts a large number of fans.

Finally, the internal transformation of the Christian Party is difficult, and the large number of giants within the Liberal Party has also provided external support for the rise of the Socialist Party, a young party that has only been established for 11 years. "

In addition to young people in the Netherlands, another group that is full of resentment towards the Liberal Party is the small capitalists and the middle class. This is a group with dual identities. They insist that Dutch capital plays a decisive role in the expansion of global influence. Internally, it is crucial to increase jobs and maintain a more prosperous Dutch economy. At the same time, internally, there are demands for the Christian Party to be removed. The reason is that the Christian Party often prioritizes the interests of the church.

This is unacceptable to young people in the Netherlands. Especially now, among immigrants, there are still many who are not believers of the Christian Party. "

Seeing Albert picking up his notebook and taking notes, William IV slowed down his speech slightly and said: "This group of people is a double-edged sword for the Socialist Party. Their former identity is increasingly becoming a burden in the election. , the latter identity squints at the source of the Socialist Party's support among the wealthy in the Netherlands.

Of course, because the lower class often work for these capitalists, their political posture is more or less affected by the latter."

William IV said:

"Since the capital was moved to Melbourne in the Far East in 1871, "Beyond the Old Netherlands in Europe has always been the slogan of our Kingdom of the Netherlands, and it was also the label of the Socialist Party established by Jules Danetang, which is to accelerate the establishment of a global Netherlands. This guy emphasized that he is different from the Liberal Party and the Christian Party on the ideological dimension. "

Prince Albert asked in confusion: "Father, what is his purpose?"

“The purpose is mainly to attract voters who are outside the three parties. However, this election is different. The difference between the Socialist Party, the Liberal Party and the Christian Party is not in ideology, but in the age structure of the voters.

The 16-year-old Prince Albert looked at William IV doubtfully.

“Compared with their parents’ generation, the new generation of voters in the Netherlands has a strong identity identity. The Netherlands has fierce opposition and divisions on global and European identity issues. Instead, they focus on the interest demands of this generation. They hope to realize these demands through elections.

Migration to the Far East began in 1871. Today, there are more than 23 million Dutch and immigrant white people in the Far East. There are only 4 million in mainland Europe and 2 million are scattered in other Dutch territories around the world. There are 29 million white Dutch people in the world, and 32 million other Africans and indigenous peoples of the Far East.

These people have fully adapted to the capital of Melbourne over the past 11 years, and the Australian continent is our home base of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

However, many people in Europe still miss the days when the capital was Amsterdam.

So to a certain extent, there is a rivalry with the ruling party in Melbourne.

Whoever governs will lose electoral ground in most of that part of Europe in the Netherlands.

Of course, the province of North Holland, where the Christian Party’s headquarters is located Groningen, the province of West Holland, where the Liberal Party is located, and the provinces of South Holland and North Belgium, where the Socialist Party is located, will not change much.

In addition to these, the remaining two provinces among the six European provinces have become a nightmare for the ruling party. "

"Father just said that besides these regional identities, is there anything else?"

"Internal affairs issues such as judicial injustice, corruption, education, and social employment are more likely to become the focus of this election."

William IV sighed: “These issues are just the legacy of the Liberal Party and the Christian Party’s long-term rule. They are one of the bad impressions left by the two parties on the Dutch people. This is exactly what the Socialist Party Jules Dardenne said. Don provides a battlefield where strengths can be exploited.”

Prince Albert: “My father is saying that the Socialist Party provides everyone with a third choice, and Jules Danetant and the Socialist Party provide the coalition government with experience and ability in Belgium and the Socialist Party. The Socialist Party seems to be a good choice. choose?"

"Yes, for example, regarding the low salary of young people in the Netherlands, Jules Danetang believes that the root cause is the added value of the Dutch industrial structure and the unreasonable setting of high school and university education subjects in Dutch education.

Although this view is reasonable, specific planned policies must be presented to voters in a timely manner.

If you just stay at the diagnosis of the problem without corresponding solutions, the meaning will seem a bit pale. "

"As for some complex issues, such as establishing the most modern civil-official and military-official systems in the world, even though he had 8 years of experience in the ruling cabinet in the Kingdom of Belgium, a middle power, in 1879 and in our country, which is now one of the world's great powers, The Kingdom of the Netherlands has 4 years of experience as deputy prime minister and finance minister. Without the help of experts in public administration, it would be difficult to formulate a perfect solution based on personal understanding alone. Fortunately, the establishment of the Province of Northern Belgium and the Socialist Party allowed him to prepare for a rainy day. The shadow cabinet has been set up a long time ago, so he came prepared."

“Political leaders seeking professional advice on complex issues can make policies more substantive and provide voters with a clearer vision for the future.

Moreover, absorbing social talents and professional elites to provide policy advice to political parties is strong evidence of the expansion of political party influence. Therefore, among the three parties, the Socialist Party is ahead of the other two parties in this aspect.

Once you take this step, the world will be brighter. If those behind cannot keep up, they will become small parties in the future. "

"Just now, my father said that Giulda Netang has the personal qualities of rationality, integrity, and diligence?" Prince Albert asked.

"Indeed, Jules Danetang is currently steadily leading the Liberal Party's de Vries in the polls. The Socialist Party is expected to obtain more than half of the senatorial seats in the general election, as well as the House of Representatives, becoming the majority ruling party in the Dutch Parliament and taking the lead at the local level. We have nominated regional city and town councilors, and have also begun to reserve candidates for the next local council election.”

"The split of the Christian Party and the movements of old and new Christian party groups have objectively strengthened the momentum of Giardina Tang and the Socialist Party, and also benefited the Socialist Party, which benefited from a wave of conservatives leaving the Socialist Party.

If this continues, it is a foregone conclusion that the Socialist Party will win this election, and all that remains is to wait and see whether it can be re-elected in the general election four years later.”
