Chapter 1015: Polls

"Gambling with cash ......", a socialite looked at his lawyer, "Is it illegal?", his eyes were a little dazed, and there was a little reproach, if it weren't for these agents from the Investigation Bureau who found him with an arrest warrant, he wouldn't even know that he had broken the law!

His personal lawyer was a little embarrassed and was constantly calling his peers for help.

Lawyers, in the eyes of people, represent legitimate money, behind every rich divorce case, it means that a lawyer gets a huge commission, especially those well-known barristers, are based on the percentage of the amount involved, whether they win or lose.

They are forever in the spotlight, contrary to the moral conscience of society, and for the sake of money, these people can sell their souls to the devil, such as the representative Mr. Kevin.

But people never know what it takes to have such a life!

In the current system of the empire, local governments have a great deal of autonomy, especially when it comes to law. On the basis of complying with the Charter and the Basic Law of the Empire, local governments can also formulate local laws with local characteristics with reference to local conditions.

For example, in most cities, it is illegal to brew moonshine, but in Ilian, as long as you pay taxes and have a legal license, it is legal to brew as much alcoholic beverages as you want, but only for local sale.

In the first place, Dohrin used this law to legally brew alcoholic beverages, and legally sold them to agents in the Illian area, and then the agents illegally transported these illegal moonshine through smuggling channels.

Strange local laws have always been a headache for lawyers, and major law firms have also made corresponding arrangements for these situations, some of which specialize in a certain state law and set up special offices to deal with various situations.

Some cases may be heavy in some states but acquittal in others, and every lawyer needs to know the content of some characteristic local laws to ensure their success and be able to convince their clients to put their money in their pockets.

But the lawyer apparently didn't know that gambling with cash was illegal in Otis City, the only city in the empire where gambling openly was not illegal.

It's like telling people that you can sing here, but they don't tell people what follows – you can't make a sound when you sing here.

After questioning several colleagues, the lawyer hung up the phone, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nodded, "Yes sir, I have established that there is such a ...... in the local bill of the city of Otis."

This is also the bill that Dohrin submitted in order to maintain the chip system, because the regional governing body of the SAR is directly responsible to the cabinet, so the city of Otis does not need to pass the state legislature to submit a new bill, as long as the Ministry of Justice deems it not to be a fool.

In other words, it's a lesser-known, off-the-beaten-path local bill, and it's effective.

With hateful grins on their faces, the two agents pulled out their handcuffs, "Sir, if you are not willing to cooperate with our summons, then we can only use coercive measures, please don't embarrass us!"

Doolin told Weber that he would arrest them directly, but Weber relented and invited them in a less forceful summons, at least that it wouldn't offend them too much.

The thought of the list of big names on the list, even if Webb decided to hug Durin's thigh, there was a slight tremor in his liver. If he really offends these people, I'm afraid that even if Durin takes care of him, it will be difficult for him to continue to be his mayor with peace of mind.

And for the sake of other people's affairs, he cut off his own retreat, which is not what a smart person should do.

The socialite could only sigh and went to the Bureau of Investigation in the city of Otis with two agents, accompanied by a lawyer.

Similar things continue to happen in the offices of corporate presidents, or government officials, and Webb's sudden outburst has made some people realize that even if Chapp is dead, the matter is not over, which makes them a little chagrin.

It would have been nice to know that he hadn't killed Chap, after all, Chap's mouth was tight enough, and as long as he could keep his mouth shut and deal with the investigation team, they would be safe. At that time, with their influence, it was not impossible to drag this case down indefinitely.

Even if they have to solve the case in the end, they can choose the plan with the least loss, unlike now, not only did they not get away with the crime, but they also trapped themselves.

The groundbreaking news from the city of Otis finally allowed Durin to turn his attention away from it, and the next thing he had to face was the zero poll in the Ambiluo area.

To put it bluntly, polling is a group of people doing random questionnaires on the street, finally determining the tendencies of the respondent, and then using a small group of people to represent the position of the entire state, which is also a very irresponsible practice. After all, a poll of 5,000, 10,000 or 20,000 people can't really represent the opinion of the entire state, but most politicians are doing it now.

There are two reasons, the first reason is that everyone is accumulating strength, and the current poll is of little significance, which is suitable for the majority of a small number of deputies, and the second reason is the problem of funding, and the filling out of each questionnaire means the expenditure of funds from one more to a few dollars.

Starting next year, there will be a poll every month, and if the number of samples is too large, too much campaign money will be wasted on the participating teams, which is inappropriate. It may be more effective to use the money to conduct polls than to use it for propaganda.

It doesn't matter what others do, he needs the most detailed data, after all, this is the first time in his life...... Run.

Durin's nervousness is actually necessary, but it doesn't make any sense, the reason why it is necessary is that people need to know how to be in awe, and as for the meaningless principle, it is because he is too rich.

Just providing free educational resources is enough for most people in the entire state to vote for him, and the poorer the place, the more they understand the importance of knowledge, and the less they can afford to go to school. Now that Doolin has given them the only hope, what can they do but support?

Secondly, compared with the small gifts of the survey codex of other institutions, Dühring's gift is too rich, and Hirschman once told Dühring that giving certain gifts when doing polls will help improve the tendency of the selected individuals to fill in the questionnaire.

Human beings are social animals with group characteristics, and when most people are biased towards one person, it is natural to have a herd mentality.

The results of the zero poll before the start of the election campaign were very encouraging, with Doolin leading the list of governors with only two participants in total with 77.6 percent support.

"But you can't be proud, Mr. Dooling!", Hirsman reminded Doolin after the poll results, "We can't afford to let up until the last minute comes, and in the last thirty years there have been several almost miraculous turnarounds, just like the politicians you used to baash in front of the media for lying, lying does not become a moral burden for them, as long as they can win, it doesn't matter if they lie!"

Hersman is very aware of the virtues of those politicians, don't look at the old party candidate has not launched any propaganda offensive yet, it seems that he is just going through the motions, trying to make the old party committee he has not given up the last trace of hope and effort, but the devil knows if this guy will break the big news in the last two or three months.

As he just said to Dühring, lying when necessary is only to ensure political correctness, and politicians who lie in the eyes of the people have deceived them and are a bad villain. However, in the great collective consciousness of the political party, this kind of person who sacrifices his personal character but maintains the victory of the party is worth defending.

People have different positions and perspectives, and naturally look at things differently. It stands to reason that so many politicians who lie should be finished, but those politicians who habitually lie and can save their image after being recognized by people are the real elites, who know better than others how to play this game, how to win, and are more suitable for living in this environment.

"More than 80 percent of the people in this poll are concerned about the security and health care in Ambiluo, and we started from this side in the first and second quarters. Then Hirsman assigned Doolin tasks for the first and second quarters of next year, and he told again, "Don't break the big news again, such as free medical care or something, it's not actually a good thing for you, do you know what I mean?"

Durin nodded, "Okay, if I have an idea about this, I'll let you know in advance." ”

Hirsman hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, no, you still don't understand that we shouldn't have more free, free public social resources." I know you are very rich, but you can't support the needs of the whole empire, these things may make you brilliant now, but they will become a burden to your future. ”

Hirsmann's proposal is very constructive, free education, free medical care, it seems very tempting, and even Durin can afford to support the free social resources of Ambiluo, but the problem is that he can't spend his whole life in Ambiluo. As long as he wants to climb up and go to other places, these will inevitably be firmly integrated with Duhring's "Doolin policy" with Doolin's characteristics, and they must also be brought over.

Anyone who wants to make a difference in politics will establish their own governance philosophy and political program from the beginning, and ensure that it is their own and unique, and only then can they stand out from countless politicians and have a certain competitiveness.
