Chapter 473 A Worse Place
In addition to the advantage that the People's Party is the ruling party, there is also the fact that Lao Xian is a very courageous person and is very popular among the people.
Lao Xian mainly plays the nationalism card. He supports Hindus and suppresses Islam.
There is no way around it. Hindus are the majority in India. If we win the support of the majority, we will naturally get more votes.
As for Islam, it was sacrificed.
After Lao Xian came to power, he immediately launched reforms and issued many new policies.
Although many of these policy measures are difficult to implement, especially the toilet construction plan, which was directly exposed by the Congress Party for various problems. The Congress Party originally wanted to use it to attack its opponents, but the effect was not obvious. Instead, it made people feel that the BJP was doing something.
Even if these policies have some problems for the time being, the BJP at least dares to make changes, which makes it much better than the Congress Party.
It is a bit difficult for now, but everyone is willing to give it some time.
In short, the BJP won a great victory in these aspects.
If Kanina wants to win more votes, she basically has to compete with Laoxian.
Given the unstoppable trend of the BJP in the next general election, even if Pinkanina tries harder, the effect probably won't be very good.
In Rawdon's view, these are clearly not worth the cost.
If you want to win more votes, you need to promise more benefits. How will you fulfill them then?
It can't be fulfilled at all.
That’s how the BJP is, they never thought about delivering on their promises.
They succeeded the first time and tasted the sweetness, so they increased the dosage the second time.
But this time they failed.
This can be clearly seen from the results of Laoxian’s third general election.
In the third general election, the People’s Party lost so many seats that it could not even hold on to half of them.
This is the backlash caused by various high-profile promises that cannot be fulfilled.
If the election promises were not fulfilled in the first term, the people would be willing to forgive and understand. However, in the second term, the People's Party basically did not fulfill any of its promises, and there was almost no change.
Therefore, the People's Party was gradually abandoned by the people.
We are not fools.
For Rawdon, it is enough for the People's Party to maintain a certain size. He does not think that the People's Party can become the ruling party in India. That is too unrealistic.
In Rotten's plan, it would be enough for the Populist Party to become a medium-sized political party with a certain number of seats in parliament.
By then, both the ruling party and the opposition will need to come and win over.
For the next election, all political parties are significantly increasing the benefits they promise, which can indeed excite many voters.
But they will soon find that neither the big promises from the People's Party nor the big promises from the various opposition parties have been fulfilled.
So, after this election, many voters are disappointed with these political parties and feel they have been cheated.
This resulted in some big-ticket parties such as the People's Party suffering huge losses in votes in subsequent general elections.
Roton does not want the Populist Party to use such big-pie tactics to overdraw the vitality of the party.
If the People's Party wants to follow those political parties in the election and propose various benefits, it will either make big promises but not deliver them later, or actually spend a huge price to realize these benefits.
None of this was necessary for Rawdon.
The failure to deliver on their promises will have a huge impact on the future development of the People's Party and will have a negative impact.
Anyway, the next government will be won by a landslide victory of the People's Party. The People's Party does not need to try too hard in this election. It just needs to maintain normalcy.
When it comes to the election for Lao Xian’s third term, he will really put in a lot of effort in the campaign and win more votes.
Because during the third term of the People's Party, their own party did not have more than half of the seats in parliament, and they could only form an alliance to govern.
This means that the voice of the coalition parties can be greatly enhanced.
In the second term, the BJP was the dominant party because it alone held more than half of the seats, and they were able to govern even without the support of the allied parties.
In the first term, because the BJP had just come to power, it had a good relationship with these allied parties and reserved some government positions for its allies, some of which were quite good.
But in its second term, the People's Party began to become autocratic and its self-confidence swelled.
This results in coalition parties receiving very few benefits in the government, and rarely reserving positions for their allies, and even if there are some positions, they are positions without power or influence.
In fact, the People’s Party’s votes plummeted in the third general election, and its relationship with these allied parties was a big reason for this.
Some coalition parties are very dissatisfied with the People's Party and feel that they are destroying their bridges after crossing the river.
It is very normal to secretly put obstacles in the way during elections and other processes.
Roton had heard from Kanina that the People's Party's attitude towards its allied parties such as the Civilian Party had changed greatly from the beginning.
At the beginning, the People's Party needed everyone's support and its attitude was very good.
Even if there is something, I will discuss it with everyone and listen to everyone's opinions.
As the BJP gradually gained power, this kind of thing began to disappear.
No matter what happens, the People’s Party will give you a direct order, no matter what you can do, so that you cannot object.
Those members of the People's Party began to become arrogant and domineering.
"Do you think those guys can keep their promise?" asked Rawdon.
"How can it be fulfilled?" Before Kanina could answer, Su Wei answered first, "Most of the promises made by the People's Party since taking office have not been fulfilled, and now they are making more promises. It's simply shameless."
"Su Wei, you can see it clearly, how can others not see it?" Roton laughed.
"What do you mean I can see everything?" Su Wei was a little unhappy. "I am also very concerned about politics, okay?"
"Okay, you care about politics," said Roton. "I want to say that some grassroots voters will be bought for a little benefit, such as giving money or food for voting. But I think that in the next election, no matter which party comes to power, they will basically be unable to fulfill the promises made during the election. The people will be angry and distrust these parties. I don't want the People's Party to be hated and spurned by the people."
Kanina's heart moved, she understood what Roton meant.
"I have to say that their propaganda will still attract countless voters. If we just let things take their own course, the number of votes in the next election will probably drop a lot," said Kanina.
"That's fine. Just make an appropriate effort and get as many seats as you can. Don't force it." Roton said with a smile, "In my opinion, the People's Party has a great chance of being re-elected in the next term, and it is very likely that it will get more seats than this term."
"Impossible?" Su Wei said in surprise. "The People's Party has done absolutely nothing in the past few years. All the policies and plans it has proposed have basically all failed."
"The People's Party is not that good, but that depends on who you compare it with," said Roton with a smile.
"The Congress Party?" Kanina said with a change of expression. "The Congress Party was indeed in a worse position during those years."
Hearing this, Su Wei also agreed. As for the Indian political arena, it is a place where everyone competes to see what is worse. There is no worst, only worse.
Especially during the last term of the Congress Party, too many scandals broke out.
Those scandals dealt a huge blow to the Congress party.
That is the Congress Party, which has been in power since India's independence and has been in power for most of the time. It can be said to be a long-established ruling party. If it were any other political party, it would have collapsed and disintegrated long ago.
Of course, another reason is that the Congress Party has the Gandhi family, which provides a backbone and can maintain the integrity of the Party.
"I think the next election will basically still be dominated by the People's Party, and they will suppress other political parties in a more forceful manner. At that time, what's the point of the People's Party paying a huge price to get a few more seats?" asked Roton.
Kanina's face darkened.
Roton's inference is still very likely.
She is the chairperson of the People's Party and is engaged in political activities, so she has conducted surveys on the support rates of the major parties among the people.
Of course, Fia also provided great assistance.
The influence of truth news is too great nowadays. For example, through online surveys and polls, a lot of inside information can be analyzed from the voting data.
The support rate of the BJP is very high, far exceeding that of other political parties. It can be said that it has left the second-ranked Congress Party far behind, and they are not on the same level at all.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It is precisely because of this that Kanina agrees with what Rotten said.
The People's Party will basically be elected with a high vote in the next election, and it can be the only dominant party. The seats it has are enough to form a government alone.
Therefore, the People's Party does not have to consider the faces of others at all. Even its allies cannot put any pressure on the People's Party.
Because even if all the BJP's allies turned against the Congress, they would still not get more than half of the votes.
Besides, it is impossible for all these allies to rebel.
By then, the BJP will be the only dominant party. As the BJP becomes increasingly powerful, the number of seats occupied by allies of the BJP will not make much difference.
For example, one allied party has 10 seats and the other has 1 seat.
In theory, a party with 10 seats must be stronger and should be taken seriously by the People's Party.
But after the People's Party occupied more than half of the seats in parliament, the seats on the allies' side did not matter to them.
There is really no difference between 10 and 1.
Of course, a party with 10 seats will definitely be viewed more favorably by the People's Party, after all, its strength is there.
However, precisely because the People's Party holds all the power, a party with 10 seats will receive much less benefits in the government and will not be able to achieve the benefits of 10 seats.
In order to get 10 seats, this political party will definitely need to spend a lot of energy and money, and it is very likely that the gains will not outweigh the losses in the end.
A party with only one seat doesn't get much on its own.
But no matter how little, there is always a bottom line.
For them, the loss will not be that great.
At least compared to the party that won 10 seats, the price they paid would be much lower.
This is Roden's logic.
Even if the People's Party does not have the same number of seats in the next election, it will not have much impact.
On the contrary, if you spend a lot of money on elections, you may win a few more seats, but the benefits you get in the end will probably be similar to what you get now, or even less.
After all, the second term of the old man can be said to be the time when the People's Party was at its strongest.
The stronger they are, the greater the benefits they will gain.
The cake is only this big. If the People’s Party gets more, there will be less for others.
"Well, in this case, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Kanina said with a smile.
Seeing other political parties canvassing for votes so frantically, she feels a lot of pressure.
It is definitely not enough to rely solely on the star effect of Itas and Lisa, but we must also provide real benefits to the voters.
But once those political parties got involved, even the cost of buying tickets increased several times.
Although their People's Party also has a lot of operating funds, if it is not enough, Rotun can still support it, but Kanina still does not want to rely solely on money to buy votes.
Even so, the cost would be several times more than before, and she did not have much confidence in being able to compete with other political parties for people.
Now after Roton's analysis, Kanina feels that there is really no need for her to fight for anything in the next election.
After all, the BJP will basically be in power in the next term. Given the strength of the old immortal, the number of seats of their allies is really not critical.
"Won't the BJP become even more arrogant?" Su Wei said.
She is very dissatisfied with the strength of the People's Party.
When the other party came into contact with the Civilian Party, they always acted condescending, and their tone of voice made Su Wei feel very uncomfortable.
"They have the capital to be arrogant." Luoton laughed, "Who let their family hold more than half of the seats? What can we do?"
"That's true." Su Wei sighed. One company dominates the market.
Think about the Congress Party before, it was far from having half the seats.
So they can only form a coalition government with their allies.
It is also because of this that the Congress Party has to share a lot of power with its allies.
It was due to the compromise of the Congress Party that various scandals occurred, such as the telecom scandal.
The people will definitely blame the ruling Congress for what other political parties do, but in order to gain the support of these parties, the Congress has to cover up for these people.
This makes the people even more disappointed.
At present, since the People's Party is the only dominant party, there is no such problem.
Of course, those guys in the BJP are also very capable of digging into the country's walls. It's just that a new wave of people has continued to suck blood from the country of India.
Under the People's Party's rule, many of the country's resources, state-owned companies, etc. were packaged and privatized.
For example, the Adani Group has acquired state-owned companies in many countries and monopolized many industries.
Relying on its relationship with Lao Xian, the Adani Group expanded rapidly in India. The Indian government gave it various green channels in the industries involved and even directly suppressed some of its competitors.
With the support of Lao Xian, all kinds of resources were sold or given away at a discount price. The Adani Group was successful in everything it did and the company expanded rapidly.
Especially in terms of private ports, it soon became India's largest private port group, the largest private power company, and so on.
Although India's civilian electricity theft skills are fully utilized, many major power companies are making losses, and Adani Power is no exception, and is basically making losses, but this loss is nothing at all.
