At the end of December, a general election will be held for the Westminster seat in West Gramorgan.

This is not part of the general election, but a by-election due to the resignation of the former legislator due to poor health. The by-election district happens to be in the vicinity of Bracken Timberland.

Several potential candidates were not friendly to Bracken Timber – Brecken Timber, which occupies almost the entire valley forest and receives nearly £500,000 a year from the Welsh government, not only denies entry to tourists on the grounds of "fire and wind", but also affects the income of local hotels, does not hire local workers and does not make local purchases – all of which irritate the residents of the Breckenlin Yards area. The declining local economy has deepened the gap between the town's main buildings and the low-rent housing in the dilapidated towns.

Although Lin Yilong is confident that he can resolve these obstacles at the legal level, as a lawyer with some experience, it is absolutely incompetent to resolve the dispute in court. Such considerations would be better if the contradictions could be eliminated invisibly or stifled at the formative stage.

In the West Glamorgan County Council, Lin Yilong would prefer to have a councillor who can "treat everyone equally", but this is not very easy.

Although Lin Yilong has permanent residency, the UK cannot allow permanent residency to have the right to vote, as some other European countries do. Although he can enjoy a certain degree of "national welfare", the vote is unchallengeable, at least not on the surface.

Combined with Lin's background, it's hard to say which one he would be willing to support either the Whig or Tolly. He should have supported the Whigs by his origins, the Tories by the tax breaks and subsidies he hoped to receive, and the Labour Unions by his immigration status. Since either one is good for him, it doesn't matter what he thinks about politics, just find an "unbiased" candidate.

"So, Alex, you know what the problem is right now. Lin Yilong said to his old classmate Alex in the conference room of his law firm, "It's very disturbing. ”

Alex is a native of West GeraMorgan, and Lin Yilong took academic and practical courses together, and is very familiar with the various ecology here, although Nils is also very familiar with the Welsh ecosystem, but after all, he is not a West Gra Morgan, and the most direct is of course to find Alex.

"Did you know that the constituency isn't really important?" Alex asked.

"I probably know a little bit. Lin Yilong nodded.

"So, what the people here think doesn't make it to the point where they want to be at the Palace of Westminster. Alex explained, "In Greater London, this kind of lobbying works, but in Glamorgan, these suffix MPs are in the constituency less than 90 days a year, how do you go about lobbying?"

"What do you mean?"

That is to say, the representatives who collect the money in Westminster are not locals and can have basically no connection with the local area. "Maybe in the Far East this may not be right, but under the Westminster system, it's normal." ”

"If I remember correctly, the candidates should at least be more or less related. Lin Yilong said uncertainly, "Otherwise, what will you do to give voters confidence." ”

"It's simple. ”

"How?"

"For example, you like John Martin. Alex asked, "You like his policies, so how do we get others to like him too?"

By the way, John Martin is the current Tories leader and prime minister, and as a member of the Labour Cooperatives, Alex hates him.

"Have a meal and shake hands with a foreign dignitary, spend 20,000 pounds to find a radio host to blow for 40 minutes at breakfast time, and be on the BBC news at 6pm. Lin Yilong said what he could think of.

"More directly, do you think you'll vote for him?" Alex pointed to the point.

"Probably, but I can't vote for him either. Lin Yilong said, "He is not my candidate for the constituency, and even if I wanted to, I didn't have the opportunity." ”

"So, his colleague is running in Glamorgan County, will you vote for him?" Alex revealed.

"I don't know that person, how do I know?" Lin Yilong didn't understand, "but if I like his campaign policies, I will vote for his party to be promoted to the cabinet." ”

"You're going to vote, the platform is here. "With the exception of the local Welsh and Scottish Nationals, it's almost impossible for the average voter to find a representative whose campaign goals you know very well." ”

"But these MPs have a lot of influence on the county committee, so it's impossible to put them down. Lin Yilong stated his considerations, "Westminster's financial subsidy is a killer feature for these local councils, and no one wants to annoy them?"

"After all, it's not in the administrative system, and even if it does, the influence is still very limited. And, even if you're in the controlled interior, you'll always find a few Tories who support you for a variety of reasons. ”

"Speaking with a ballot?"

"Speak with the ballot!"

"I understand!" Lin Yilong suddenly realized, "So, no matter what, as a foreigner, I definitely can't influence the current candidate, right?"

"Yes. Without hesitation, Alex replied in the affirmative, "So, you don't need to look at Glamorgan or Wales as a whole, it's good to find someone you have a relationship with." ”

"What person?" Lin Yilong tried to ask the question directly.

"Someone who is willing to match you up. This statement seems unreasonable, but it also seems to make a lot of sense.

"On my side, there is a bit of a lack of contact in this area. Lin Yilong said, "And as a foreigner, isn't it a little bad?"

"It's okay, that's fine. Alex said, "It's your property, your rights, no one will have anything to criticize, won't you be able to get your passport next year?"

"That's right. Lin Yilong said, "So, what kind of connection do we have now?"

"If you talk about lobbying, it's good to find a few lifetime nobles in the House of Lords. Alex gave his thoughts, "What do you think?"

"Do I need to avoid factional disputes?" Lin Yilong asked.

"No, but it's easier for people who share the same idea to lobby, so the best case scenario is to find a guy in the ruling coalition. Alex concluded.

"So, what should I consider in Westminster?, or rather, those gentlemen's clubs?" asked Lin Yilong.

"Yes. ”
