"Cruz, Van Dijk, Juggerd, Shay."

His eyes swept over the names on the document, and Ma Wei already had a rough estimate in his heart.

Most of the names that appear on the document are free councilors who are not party members, who remain neutral and vote on the basis of their own perception.

There are 182 neutral members in the entire House of Commons, which is a slight less than the 300-plus members of the Liberal or Conservative Party, but it is also a force to be reckoned with.

If they could all be united, the women's union would become the most influential third party in Parliament.

"You chose the Centrist MP, apparently considering that MPs who join other parties may be hypothetical and deceive you to get votes"

"I don't know these people well, but I can gather information about them, and the point is that the current strength of the women's unions is limited to a corner of London, and the women in other cities are still scattered and not united enough, so how do you get them to vote for these neutral MPs?" ”

Members of parliament are divided into constituencies, and in London's constituencies, there are only a few neutral MPs, and most of the names that appear on Freya's documents do not belong to London's financial circles, and the power of women's unions cannot cover their constituencies, so how can they help?

"On the subject."

Freya opened the drawer, took out a book, and placed it on the table: "Before you spoke out for women, there was actually a female writer who wrote the book "Women's Defense" more than 60 years ago, and the point of view mentioned in the book is very similar to yours, that women and men have the same rational capacity and should enjoy the same political rights as men. ”

Picking up the book, Ma Wei flipped through it casually, he hadn't read "Feminist Defense", and he hadn't even heard of it, but some of the content mentioned in the book was indeed very advanced.

"It doesn't matter if I'm the first person to speak up for women, and I don't care about that, is there a solution to the current problem in this book?"

"When the book was released, it set off a lot of turmoil, and many newspapers reported on it, but in less than half a month, the voice completely faded." "In the final analysis, because more than 60 years ago, there were only a handful of literate women, and men naturally did not agree to improve women's rights. ”

"Although the book is in the sea, the author of this book is not discouraged and insists on speaking up for women, and today, there are far more literate women than there were 60 years ago, and we can use the power of newspapers to carry out women's ideological propaganda."

Hearing this, Ma Wei's eyes lit up: "You want to create a newspaper and publish a newspaper?" ”

"Yes." Freya nodded slowly: "I want to create the "Women's League" newspaper to convey ideas in the form of a newspaper. ”

Newspapers, the most widely disseminated news tool at present, are only available to literate people because of the literacy rate, and more than 60 years ago, the authors of "Women's Rights Defense" did not receive support because there were too few literate women.

Today, the female literacy rate in the Kingdom of Windsor has exceeded 15%, with 15 out of every 100 people literate, which is enough for newspapers to play their propaganda role.

As long as one in 15 people responds to the call, women can be united, and Freya believes that the publication of the Women's League will cause a huge stir in the Kingdom of Windsor.

maybe

The Women's League could change the political landscape of the Kingdom of Windsor.

"They didn't let me build a school, so I would run a private school, and if they wanted to suppress our momentum, I would publish newspapers and periodicals."

Freya said in a cold voice: "This is my right, if they do something in this regard, it will be to destroy the social system they have worked so hard to build, and the loss will be greater than now." ”

Mavi understands Freya's thoughts, she sees more than just the city of London, but wants to set off a vigorous feminist movement in the entire kingdom of Windsor!

This ambition

To be honest, if Freya wasn't the Supreme Four Pillars, Ma Wei was really worried about her safety.

Even if she is a duke, she should not jump too high, otherwise it will invite calamity.

Of course, the premise is that your own strength is not strong enough.

What is there to worry about a great demon who has the supremacy of the four pillars?

Mavi didn't mention the safety issue, and Freya didn't mention it, and the two silently ignored it.

"In fact, from the perspective of the current social productivity, men are far better than women, and it is natural that they have a high status."

Freya said: "If it weren't for the fact that the church worships a goddess, I'm afraid Parliament wouldn't have passed the Women's Rights Act, maybe this is the so-called fate." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Ma Wei shrugged: "The church is completely silent on this matter, and it is already a vague expression of its support for the promotion of women's rights, but it is a pity that the three goddesses did not come forward, otherwise who would dare to embarrass you?" ”

"The three goddesses can't help it if they don't come forward, who knows what they're thinking?" Freya said helplessly: "Anyway, my plan is like this, the intelligence is indeed what I am lacking at the moment, if Nicholas can help me collect the information on this list, it will be a great help to me." ”

"I do my best."

Ma Wei folded the documents and put them in his pocket, stood up, and put on his hat: "I'll take this list with me, if you have any other questions, come to me at any time." ”

"Okay."

Leaving the women's union, Ma Wei turned around and came to Kensington Palace, where the second prince lived, took out the list he had transcribed on the carriage, and handed it to the second prince.

"Your Highness, please help me investigate the people on this list."

The second prince, who was confused and didn't know the situation, took a look at the list and said in surprise: "These are neutral councillors Nicholas, what are you doing collecting their intelligence?" It has nothing to do with your election! ”

MPs from different constituencies have no conflict of interest during the election period, not to mention that they are neutrals, although they are not their own people, but at least they will not help the Conservative Party, who will pay attention to them?

"Your Highness, I just returned from the women's union."

"I made an agreement with Freya, she called on the women of Lambeth to support my election, and I helped her gather intelligence, which are the councillors she wants to woo," Mavi said calmly. ”

"Oh, if it's for your election, I should really agree." The second prince's words changed: "But why didn't she come to me?" On behalf of the Liberal Party, I welcome her! If we can get the support of women's unions, won't this election be a good one? ”

"Your Highness, you can talk to her, they all grew up together, there is no need to worry about face."

"Well, I'll go find her tomorrow."

The second prince accepted the list: "When I finish collecting information, I will hand it over to her." ”

"Give it to me directly." Ma Wei said: "If it was Your Highness that you passed on the information to Freya, wouldn't she know that I had shown you the list?" It's going to make it hard for me to do. ”

"Okay, okay, then you will pass it on to her." The second prince didn't think much of it, and his attention was completely drawn to the rosy vision of the rise of the Liberal Party after being supported by the women's union.

After handing over the list to the second prince, Ma Wei and Yunia returned to the flower street grocery store, and it was getting dark.

"Xiao Hei, you bring this list to Fat Tangerine and ask him to send cats to investigate."

"Got it!"

Blackie leaps onto the ledge with the list in his hand, and unleashes his mud shadow magic to disappear into the darkness.

Compared with the second prince, Ma Wei of course believes in the information provided by the Cat Legion, and it has been almost half a year since he came to London, during this period, the Cat Legion has long occupied London and further expanded outward, and to today's location, the entire territory of the Kingdom of Windsor has the eyeliner of the Cat Legion.

In order to support the work of the Cat Legion, Ma Wei specially sent members of the Aurora Society to various parts of the Windsor Kingdom to take charge of the rewards and punishments of the cats and food.

After dinner, Yunia saw Ma Wei standing in front of the window in a daze, and asked curiously:

"Dad, what are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering if Freya can win this feminist fight."

"She's a demon, Daddy, you don't want her to win, right?"

"I want her to win."

In Yunia's puzzled gaze, Mavi said: "It has nothing to do with whether she is a demon or not, although she is a demon, but her behavior is correct, there is no doubt that women should indeed have equal rights with men, on this basis, Freya's act of speaking up for women is worthy of respect." ”

"But she's a demon!"

"Should a murderer be punished for killing a man and saving a child who fell into the water while passing by the river?"

Yunia thought for a moment and said, "I guess, he still killed someone, didn't he?" ”

"That's right, whether he saves people or not, his murderous behavior is punishable, and vice versa." Ma Wei said: "His act of killing people should be distinguished from his act of saving people, we can't ignore the fact that he saved people because he killed people, but in the eyes of many people, saving people is just saving people, which is worthy of praise, and killing people deserves death, which is unfair." ”

"Unfair rewards and punishments will lead to distortion of the social moral system, I saved a child who fell into the water, and finally got the thanks of the rescued person and some bonuses, or a pennant, but if I kill someone, can I use the apology and compensation to calm the matter?"

Yunia was a little stunned, and said in great confusion: "Save people. Is it supposed to be? I don't understand. It's a tough question."

"Many people always see righteousness and courage as a moral issue and the perpetrator as a practical problem, which is a misconception in itself." Ma Wei said quietly: "In the case of not having oneself, whether it is killing or saving others, it is actually a moral issue. ”

"The rescuer may only have a momentary brain fever, but he has actually done the act of saving people, and people always look at the problem from a subjective standpoint, will they substitute themselves as the rescuer or the rescued?"

Yunia blinked: "Rescuer"

"In fact, there are more rescued people, because the rescuers are widely reported, and it is difficult for people to substitute themselves into the identity of the rescuers, but the rescued who do not appear often can empathize." "When people put themselves in the shoes of the rescued, how can they thank the rescuer? The value of life is difficult to measure, and people always do whatever it takes to get a wish, but when their wishes are fulfilled, they are unwilling to take responsibility. ”

"It's like a rich man who fell off a cliff and said he was willing to give half of his family property to the rescuer, but then returned after being brought up?" Walking into the living room, Levine heard the conversation between Mavi and Yunia and joined in.

"Yes, people always like to evade responsibility, to strive for favorable conditions for themselves, and it is natural to evade responsibility, because responsibility itself is a morality given by society, and in most cases, there is no punishment for violating it."

Ma Wei said slowly: "The so-called honest people are actually responsible and moral people, they don't know how to evade responsibility, they are always kidnapped by morality, and those capitalists have no morality." ”

"If a contract is signed, an honest person will perform the duties on the contract, even the responsibilities that are not specified in the contract, but the demon is different, the demon will only perform the things clearly stated in the contract, and if it is ambiguous and unclear, it will not be fulfilled at all."

"It's a moral issue." Levin understood what Ma Wei meant: "The demons did not break the contract, their lies are based on the outside of the contract, people feel that they have been deceived, in fact, they just took advantage of the loopholes in the contract!" ”

"The scary thing is that it's legal and compliant." Ma Wei said coldly: "Morality is something that a society must pay special attention to, when a society loses morality, it loses credibility, people are suspicious of each other, become distorted, and there is nothing beautiful." ”

"And in order to maintain morality, we must distinguish what is morality and what is not, in the matter of falling into the water to save people, his behavior of going into the water to save people is a moral issue, since he saved, then we should give the reward we deserve, not evade responsibility."

"We must punish those who are immoral, and only in this way can we maintain the normal development of a society."

"I'm afraid it's hard to define."

Levin hesitated: "Big brother, I know what you mean, but it's really hard to give a clear definition on moral issues."

"Then start from the level of responsibility." Ma Wei said: "The most real problem between husband and wife is nothing more than cheating, and the laws of the Kingdom of Windsor do not give a clear punishment for cheating, which is immoral, because the cheater has indeed violated the facts of the marriage and caused harm to the other party, and deserves to be punished." ”

"Felix, what you said is actually right, the moral level is difficult to define, if the country is governed by morality, its government will definitely become an extreme government, morality cannot become the only tool of rule, it can only be an auxiliary, and it must be an auxiliary."

"But on some issues, we have to consider morality, and even morality takes precedence over the law, a woman who kills the murderer of her son, according to the law, she should be punished, but from the moral level, as a mother, is there no reason for her to avenge her son? The law defines murder as wrong, but we must reduce the mother's sentence! Who says it is unforgiving? The law must be affectionate! ”

Ma Wei rubbed Yunia's head, who was a little stunned: "It's the same with Freya, although she is a demon, it has nothing to do with her act of speaking up for women, she did the right thing, we have to praise her, whether she is a demon or not." ”

"Just as we can't ignore what right things a person has done just because he has made a mistake, morality and responsibility are inseparable, and only by considering it fairly can we achieve justice."
