Mr. Granger muttered a few words, and suddenly realized that today was Christmas, and he shouldn't vent so many negative emotions, so he quickly lowered his head and destroyed his breakfast, and turned on the radio to listen to the morning broadcast.
news.
At this time, Hermione had finished her breakfast on her plate and took down her school bag. Our smart and beautiful Miss Granger is going to start her homework on the first day of the Christmas holiday. Not only does she have to write, she
The partner who is obsessed with fishing also has to start doing homework under her supervision.
"The Prime Minister gave a Christmas Eve speech last night and announced that he would withdraw from the mid-term elections..." The host's passionate voice came from the radio, as if he was not hosting a boring morning political program, but
A football match.
"Dad!" Hermione glared at Mr. Granger dissatisfied, "I'm going to start my homework."
"Do you have to write in the dining room? We have a study room at home!" Mr. Granger protested.
"The table in the study is too small! Look, my homework alone can cover three large tables." Hermione struggled to put her bulging schoolbag on the table.
Mr. Granger suddenly had nothing to say. Under Her mother's kind eyes, he obediently lowered his voice.
"According to an unnamed Lord, the new Prime Minister will be born from the Chancellor of the Exchequer or the Foreign Secretary."
"This is not good news," the guest next to the host spoke up. "For their party, this is likely to be a disaster. As we all know, the relationship between the Foreign Minister and the Finance Minister is very bad. If either of them comes to power,
It will lead to the split of the ruling party... I really don't understand why the Prime Minister chose this time to resign."
"Perhaps it has something to do with the resignation of his cabinet secretary Sir Arnold?" the host hinted, but did not discuss the topic in depth. Instead, he changed the subject and switched to his own views on the ministers.
The host laughed and said: "If it were me, I would definitely choose the Finance Minister. Because according to reliable information, the Foreign Minister was very drunk last night, then drove a car in the city, and finally crashed into a dental clinic. The loss may be as high as
Tens of thousands of pounds. Is such a minister too unreliable?"
The guest was silent. He understood that the host was showing off. Looking at the name of the program, you can tell where the radio host's butt is tilted - this program is called "Morning Finance"! Isn't it?
A true mouthpiece for the Prime Minister of Finance.
But it’s about making money, not making excuses. The guests also joined the ranks of verbally criticizing the Foreign Secretary. Who asked this program to give more?
After hearing this, Mr. Granger snorted with dissatisfaction, "This is not a matter of money. They have no idea how much energy I have invested in this clinic..."
"Dad!" Hermione became angry. Her mother, who was beside her, also stood by her daughter and glared at her husband. Mr. Granger quickly closed his mouth and lamented in his heart. He decided to pick up his radio and go to the study to listen to the broadcast.
.
"Uncle, what is the current position of Jim Hacker in the Administrative Affairs Department?" Tom thought of something and asked quickly.
Six months ago, he executed an artist named Chris. Before the execution, he reviewed Chris's memory. There were some contents in it that were very detrimental to the Finance Minister's campaign for prime minister - he often pimped the royal family.
The hands and feet are not clean.
Now that the Foreign Secretary is suspected of dangerous driving, his reputation has plummeted, and the probability of the Chancellor becoming Prime Minister has greatly increased. The value of this information in Tom's hands is increasing.
"Huck, he is still a minister in the DAA (Department of Administrative Affairs). Although his ability is mediocre, his popularity is not bad. He has even become a PC! (Note)" Mr. Granger cannot be said to be familiar with the political situation in Great Britain.
But it’s still pretty well understood.
It is a very common phenomenon that the person with the highest status and the person with the most power in the ruling group are not the same person. This is the case in Great Britain. Currently, the Prime Minister of Great Britain is the leader of the ruling party, and the PC with the highest status in the party is Huck. An analogy is Huashan
The sect unified the world, and Linghu Chong became the leader of the martial arts alliance, but the leader of the Huashan sect was still Yue Buqun.
At present, due to the support of his secretary, Huck does not have much real power, but his status is really high. It is not unreasonable to say that he is below the prime minister and above ten thousand people. And his
Popularity is indeed good - you can't be a PC if you are not popular.
Even if he is just an eraser, he is still an eraser with a distinguished status!
"So do you think Huck can become Prime Minister?" Tom asked Mr. Granger eagerly.
"Jim Harker? Prime Minister?" Mr. Granger almost laughed out loud when he heard this. But when he thought about it calmly, he suddenly discovered that Harker's advantage was almost overwhelming!
First of all, this person currently has no black material; secondly, his relationship with other people is good, and he will not cause division within the party after he comes to power; more importantly, this person's opponents all have various problems.
"Jim Harker..." Mr. Granger pondered for a moment, "His advantage is not small. If he can defeat the Finance Minister, there should be no problem."
Tom's mind suddenly became active. He felt as if he could light up Huck's cold stove? The two of them still had a relationship.
It is not a bad thing to establish a good relationship with the Muggle Prime Minister in advance.
However, Tom, who has a deep understanding of the British cabinet, feels that the Prime Minister may not be the only one who knows about the existence of the wizarding world.
You must know that the operation of the country in Great Britain cannot be promoted by a prime minister and a few ministers. The master of this country is the royal family, and it is the civil service system that maintains the operation of the country. The weaker prime minister does not even have much real power.
Life-long civil servants, a noble royal family and a prime minister who will step down soon. As long as the wizards have brains, they should know who to choose.
Unfortunately, my current status is too low. I am only a third-year student. I can only burn the cold stove and have no access to the core secrets.
Tom scratched his head and began to try hard to recall Huck's address, preparing to go to Huck's house to burn his cold stove.
Boom, boom, boom! Hermione knocked on the table in dissatisfaction, "I don't care who the Prime Minister is, I only care about where your paper is?"
Hermione was so angry that her hair seemed to become even more fluffy.
Tom and Mr. Granger were startled. One of them hurriedly took out his school bag, while the other ran to the study with his radio.
