Chen Kangjie leaned lazily on the back of the sand chair, raised his feet, crossed on the desk, and stretched his hands back to cover his head, chic and comfortable, but in fact, his heart was still very nervous, worried that Lawrence would really lose the game.
There are nearly 320,000 legal voters in New South Wales, and it is estimated that 2.2 million people participated in the polls that day, with a turnout rate of 70 percent, which is considered high in an ordinary election.
As the numbers progressed, Lawrence had a slight lead over the 190,000 of the 370,000 ballots that had been released.
At this moment, Lawrence himself is also anxiously waiting for the fresh results to be released in his campaign headquarters, and in the past two days, he has not paid much attention to why Chen Kangjie's large poster appeared out of thin air, all his energy and attention are occupied by the election, and he is meeting different people and thinking differently every day.
Seeing that he got a lead of 10,000 votes, Lawrence was a little relaxed and proud psychologically, who knows, there were not three minutes, his mood was disrupted again, and he brought it up again, as a party, Lawrence's feelings are very different from others, others can also hang high without caring about themselves, but he can't, this can be related to his life, his value, his ideals, his historical positioning, his ambitions, etc., his nervousness is the most prosperous, and from time to time he will suffer from gains and losses, after all, it has reached the final kick, no one wants to lose in this position, that kind of sighing thing, no one will want to be born in their own body。
Of the 430,000 new votes, Lawrence received only 2o million votes, to his opponent's 230,000.
In every country, the support for a certain candidate is often not the national average, there will always be some places where it is higher and some places are low, and the reasons for the impact are varied, the most common is that the support rate of the general candidate's hometown for this person will generally be high, which is not only reputation and relatively similar feelings, but more importantly, once the elected person is elected, he will often invest more public resources in his hometown, and everyone will have a simple hometown complex, just like Chen Kangjie, although he did not run for any position, but a considerable part of the financial resources he spent were used in Qianzhou。
According to Guò, Lawrence's rival was born in New South Wales, where his primary and secondary schools were completed, and his current home is also in a small town over there, so it is no wonder that he can oppose Lawrence.
It's just that before the last moment, victory or defeat is unpredictable, and it is not yet known who will have the last laugh.
Later, the Central Election Commission announced three batches of ballots one after another, respectively 570,000, 290,000 and 550,000, it seems that good luck is going to stand on Lawrence's side, in the subsequent 1.41 million votes, the competitor not only failed to expand the lead, but was chased by Lawrence, and finally in the 22o more than 10,000 votes, Lawrence actually got 1.14 million, and the competitor only got 1o60,000, and the distance between the two was stretched to 80,000 votes in the first state.
It stands to reason that this is a bit difficult, how could it be so born.
Through the interviews on the street and the explanations of experts, Chen Kangjie can understand what is going on.
In the street interviews, Chen Kangjie saw a lot of young people, many of whom are college students, which was not easy in the past, under normal circumstances, only middle-aged and elderly people are keen to vote in elections, and young people generally don't care so much, they just need to have fun.
Most of these young people mentioned Long when they faced the camera, and they told the reporter that it was because Long that they walked into the polling station, and instead of using the day off to go on an outing or party, they planned to choose the day of the party on the day of Long's official visit to Australia.
Seeing this, Chen Kangjie had a smug smile on his face, which gave him a special sense of achievement, anyway, he was the only one in the office now, he could be unrestrained, and he didn't have to worry that someone would laugh at his "brazenness".
Later, sociology professors from Macquarie University and organisational professors from Monash University shared their observations and said that in the last 10 years of federal elections, voter turnout has not exceeded 65 percent, and this time New South Wales has exceeded 70 percent, which seems to be an increase of only 10 percent, which is an increase of nearly 300,000 voters on the figure table, which is a big improvement。
It is not known how many of those 300,000 people were added because of the young voters who walked into the polls while Long walked into the polls, but for now, they were helping Lawrence, and in the West states, where the tie was drawn, it was the credit of millions of farmers whose support kept Lawrence from falling behind in the Midwest.
Now it's up to us to see if these young men can actually help Lawrence get to the top of his political career.
After 7.40pm, the Central Election Commission will announce the elections in Victoria, the Metropolitan and Tasmaria, and now it can be said that the decisive moment has arrived.
Victoria is Australia's second most populous continent with 260,000 registered voters, while Metropolitan and Tasmania have a combined voter population of only 280,000 due to their sparse population.
Now the key to deciding who will enter the Prime Minister's Office of the Federal Republic of Australia falls on these 2.88 million voters, the results have been shown on the TV screen, the upper right corner of the line of small print shows that the turnout rate in the metropolitan area is 68 percent, Tasmania turnout is 66 percent, and the turnout in Victoria is as high as 79 percent, the turnout in the three boroughs has hit the highest in a decade, it is inconceivable that Victoria has not had such a high electoral turnout in 30 years, and he is also the state with the highest turnout in the federation。
Seeing Victoria's turnout figures, Chan smiled, and Lawrence laughed even more, both of them had reason to believe that these increased voters were definitely not going against Lawrence's rivals.
This was confirmed by the fact that out of the 60,000 votes cast in the metropolitan area, Lawrence received 35,000 votes, while his opponent only received 25,000, and Lawrence pulled the gap to 90,000 votes.
And after the Victorian election was announced, Lawrence and his election team began to celebrate.
Among the 210,000 voters who participated in the vote in Victoria, Lawrence got 1.27 million votes, and the opponent only got 830,000 votes, which was 4o tens of thousands more votes than the opponent, which was simply an overwhelming advantage.
Seeing Lawrence's changing expression through the TV, Chen Kangjie smiled, secretly thinking that he didn't expect such an effect, and it seems that Lawrence definitely didn't expect that while Chen Kangjie was happy for Lawrence, the whole mood was completely relaxed, and he just hoped that Lawrence could fulfill the promise reached by the two parties later.
There is no need to pay attention to the Tasmanian election, and to put it mildly, even if all those votes go to the rivals, it will not change the outcome of the election, because the majority of the people have already made a wise choice.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang, Chen Kangjie picked it up and listened, it turned out to be Ouyang Zhenhua calling.
"Jay, Lawrence wins, Lawrence wins,,,,,。 Ouyang Zhenhua on the phone was very excited, as if the victorious person was himself.
"I saw it, hehe, look at you, what are you excited about, this is not your election", Chen Kangjie said with a smile.
"Although I wasn't elected, but we are an alliance, oops, this election is really a mood of ups and downs, like gambling money, too exciting and thrilling, investing so much energy and financial resources, just for this moment, until the end, no one dares to laugh, hehe, I have experienced it once", Ouyang Zhenhua sighed passionately on the phone.
There is no universal suffrage in Hong Kong, or in other words, as a British colony, there is no political election at all, and Hong Kong's political election is controlled by London, so Ouyang Zhenhua has never personally set foot in such a gripping election, and this time, he finally experienced it.
Although there is an "Election Law" in the mainland, there is no practical meaning in the election, and even those deputies to the people's congress who have participated in the election cannot actually feel it, because the suspense in the election they participate in is not very large, and most of them are still equal, and there is no suspense in the end, and they cannot even see or hear the candidates' campaign platforms and campaign promises.
Although he did not personally experience every link in Australia this time, this did not prevent him from having the same feeling as Ouyang Zhenhua, after all, they secretly provided funds and help to Lawrence, and on the eve of the vote, he also went to the platform in person, everyone was in the same camp, for the same goal, in this sense, Chen Kangjie also regarded Lawrence's victory as his own victory.
After chatting with Ouyang Zhenhua and reminding him to return to Hong Kong in a few days, Lawrence's call came, and he first dealt with his team's supporters before he was able to go to a small dark room to call Chen Kangjie quietly to thank him.
