Chapter 432: Lao Wu and Lao Bao
As the time for next year's general election draws closer, the main local parties have also begun their activities.
This year has indeed been the most unfavorable year for conservatives, who have lost their head start in many positions due to the numerous corruption cases found within them.
Whether it was a future administrative and cultural center or an industrial city, conservatives hardly managed to secure major positions.
In the face of this trend, the conservatives no longer hold on to the presidency and the main departments, and now they are trying to preserve the existing power.
Huang Fu, the leader of the radical faction, has been operating frequently lately, and in addition to liaising with members of the faction, he has even put aside his business and personally visited various towns to inspect the work, which is unprecedented.
It can be seen that the radicals in the presidential position are very wanted, and now the conservatives have been completely weakened, and President Zhou Aiguo announced that he will not continue to be re-elected, and the proposal of this news is tantamount to adding insult to the situation for the conservatives.
As for why Zhou Aiguo was not re-elected, not many people actually know why, but Bao Zitu is one of the few people who know the inside story, the current internal atmosphere of the conservatives is really bad, this phenomenon does not change, it will be difficult to continue to develop in the future, and even continue to expand.
At that time, I regret it, and I'm afraid I can't change it if I want to, so the temporary labor pain is like the labor pain all the time.
Zhou Aiguo's initiative to give up the presidential campaign is to put the conservatives in a weak position, to change some of their own problems, and only when they are in a weak position will they not be so rampant.
Although the date of the general election is still more than half a year away, the people scattered around the country have begun to negotiate through various means of contact.
In the local area, there are even more groups of people who go to hotels or homes to have secret conversations.
Even Bao Zitu has received a lot of invitations recently, but the person who invited him was a little unexpected, it was actually Wu Xingwang, a new generation leader within the conservative faction.
Lao Wu and Lao Bao are both born bureaucrats, but the difference is that Lao Wu belongs to the kind of people who stand aside without actual power in the government department, and the foundation is unstable, so they are only a regular department level before the crossing, to put it bluntly, they are just a township government and township head, and everyone will naturally not reject such a petty official.
The two of them got together just to invite Lao Bao to join the conservatives. Now Lao Bao's identity is still a non-party person, and it can be said that he is basically a non-party leader.
Letting him join the conservative camp is not exactly joining the conservatives, Lao Wu knows that the possibility of wanting Bao Zitu to join is too low, and the other party joining the conservative also means giving up his current position, the position of the Supervisory Committee is equivalent to a member of the parliament, and it is impossible for Lao Bao to join the conservative faction to obtain such a high status.
If Lao Bao joins the conservatives, Wu Xingwang will definitely not ask him to join, Lao Bao's current identity is in a key position, and it can be said that he is in charge of all corruption review issues.
If you have someone of your own in this key position, it will be very different.
So Lao Wu's idea is to win over Lao Bao. It's not that he actually joins.
"Lao Bao, come and have a glass of wine, the two of us usually don't have much to do with each other, but we can be regarded as peers before the crossing, and there are still a lot of common topics, you say yes."
Wu Xingwang kept adding wine to Bao Zitu, and tried hard to win over the relationship between himself and the two, this is the fourth time he has met Bao Zitu this month.
In addition to talking about interesting things in the officialdom in the past, the conversation between the two sides will also talk about the current development of the political environment in Australia.
"Well, old Wu. You're trying to put me on your side. Bao Zitu didn't drink Wu Xingwangtian's wine, but asked straight to the point.
Wu Xingwang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled heartily, "I can't hide anything from you." If you can vote for us, we will try to meet your conditions. ”
Bao Zitu is a person without party affiliation, and he may not want many benefits, but he is still quite dissatisfied with the fact that some government departments in various cities are basically occupied by members of the three factions.
In addition, what Bao Zitu wants most is to join the National Assembly and become a member of parliament. Although he said that he didn't want to, he still wanted to be very interested in rights.
It's just that now he has just returned to the government department, if he takes too fast steps. It will definitely be disgusted by many people.
'You want my ballot.' Bao Zitu still admires Lao Wu a little in his heart, after all, he is the one who has completely sent the conservatives to the trough, and he can put aside his past suspicions to talk to himself, which shows that his political consciousness is still very high.
It seems that he was not politically conscious before, but lacked too tough relations.
"Yes. You also know that conservatives and radicals have to be in a certain balance, and if we are suppressed too much, it will not do Australia any good. ”
Conservatives and radicals have always been evenly matched, and the confrontation between the two sides has always had the conservatives in the upper hand, but the radicals are only slightly weaker, but now it is different, and now the strength of the conservatives has been greatly challenged, and the number of parliamentarians has decreased.
In addition to the fact that the centrist forces have successfully replaced their vacated positions, the radicals and centrists essentially belong to the same private capital group, and their interests are more intertwined.
So in a sense, the centrist is actually the integration of the private economy, and Lao Bao attaches great importance to state-owned assets, and has proposed more than once that key industries must be in the hands of state-owned enterprise groups.
However, after the Zhou Ke incident and the Manchester City Farm Group incident, he found that the level of corruption in state-owned enterprises was very worrying, and his previous views had completely changed, and it was not bad to find that some key industries were in the hands of private enterprises.
And there is also an important point that his friend Xiao Baitu has joined the centrists, and has cooperated with the centrists many times through his relationship.
So it's actually still difficult to convince Bao Zitu, and he can only start from what he is interested in. Otherwise hitting a wall is absolute.
Lao Bao has feelings for state-owned assets, and not long ago he was still running around the outflow of technology, so he will never see the state-owned conservatives completely dismantled.
Emotionally speaking, he has feelings for the country's management of important industries, as for people, he only has an opinion on the internal part of the state-owned faction, as for Zhou Aiguo and others, his impression is still very good, even the old Wu in front of him His impression is also very good.
Lao Wu has a reputation for integrity, and this time he became the leader of the faction is also Zhou Lao's arrangement, the purpose of which is to let him reform the entire faction, so as to change the conservatives' perception in the hearts of all the people. (To be continued......)
