Ma Wei glanced at the names on the document and already had a rough estimate in his mind.
Most of the names that appear on the document are free MPs who are not affiliated with any party. They remain neutral and vote based on their own knowledge.
There are 182 crossbench members in the entire House of Commons. Although this number is slightly lower than the more than 300 members of the Liberal Party or the Conservative Party, it is still a force that cannot be underestimated.
If they can all be united, women's trade unions can become the most influential third party force in parliament.
"You chose the centrist party members, obviously considering that members of the other parties may be hypocritical and deceive you to get votes..."
Ma Wei thought: "I'm not very familiar with these people, but I can collect intelligence about them. The key is that the current strength of the women's union is only limited to a corner of London. Women in other cities are still scattered and not united enough. In this situation
Next, how do you get them to vote for these centrist party members?"
MPs are divided into constituencies. There are only a few centrist MPs in London constituencies. Most of the names that appear on Freya's documents do not belong to the London financial circle. The power of female unions cannot cover their constituencies, so how can they help?
Woolen cloth?
"about this issue..."
Freya opened the drawer, took out a book, and put it on the table: "Before you made a voice for women, there was actually a female writer who wrote the book "A Defense of Women's Rights" more than sixty years ago.
Well, the views mentioned in the book are very similar to yours, believing that women have the same rational abilities as men and should enjoy the same political rights as men."
Picking up the book, Ma Wei flipped through it casually. He had never read "A Defense of Women's Rights" or even heard of it, but some of the contents mentioned in the book were indeed very advanced.
"It doesn't matter whether I am the first person to speak out for women, and I don't care about that. Is there a solution to the current troubles in this book?"
"When this book was released, it caused quite a stir, and many newspapers reported on it. However, within half a month, the noise completely faded away." Freya said: "In the final analysis, it was because more than sixty years ago,
There are only a handful of literate women, so men will naturally not agree to improve women's rights. The book "A Defense of Women's Rights" eventually disappeared, and it is difficult to find a model on the market."
"Although the book has disappeared, the author of this book has not been discouraged and persisted in speaking out for women. Today, there are many more literate women than sixty years ago. We can use the power of newspapers to promote women's ideas.
.”
Hearing this, Ma Wei's eyes lit up: "You want to create a newspaper and publish it?"
"Yes." Freya nodded slowly: "I want to found the Women's Alliance Newspaper to convey ideas in the form of a newspaper."
Newspapers are currently the most widely circulated news tools. Due to the literacy rate, newspapers can only be read by literate people. More than sixty years ago, the author of "A Defense of Women's Rights" 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. This coverage rate is enough for newspapers to use their propaganda attributes.
As long as one of the 15 people responds to the call, it is possible for women to unite. Freya believes that once the "Women's Alliance" is published, it will cause a huge disturbance in the Kingdom of Windsor.
perhaps...
The Feminine League could change the political landscape of the Kingdom of Windsor from now on.
"If they don't let me build a school, then I will set up private schools. If they want to suppress our momentum, I will publish newspapers."
Freya said coldly: "This is my right. If they interfere in this regard, they will destroy the social system they have worked hard to establish, and the losses will be even greater than now."
Ma Wei understood what Freya was thinking. She saw more than just the city of London, but wanted to set off a vigorous feminist movement in the entire Kingdom of Windsor!
Such ambition...
To be honest, if Freya was not one of the Four Supreme Pillars, Ma Wei would really be worried about her safety.
Even if she is a duke, she should not jump too high, otherwise it will bring disaster.
Of course, the main premise is that one's own strength is not strong enough.
What's there to worry about with a great demon who has four supreme pillars?
Ma Wei didn't mention the safety issue, nor did Freya, and the two of them silently ignored the matter.
"In fact, judging from the current social productivity, men are far better than women, and it is natural for them to have a high status."
Freya said: "If it weren't for the fact that the church believes in a goddess, I'm afraid Parliament wouldn't have passed the Women's Rights and Interests Bill. Maybe... this is the so-called fate."
"Who says it's not?" Ma Wei shrugged: "The church has remained completely silent on this matter. It has already implicitly expressed its support for improving women's rights. It's a pity that the three goddesses did not come forward, otherwise who would dare to embarrass you?"
"There's nothing we can do if the three goddesses don't come forward. Who knows what they are thinking?" Freya said helplessly: "In short, this is my plan. The information is indeed what I lack at the moment. If Nicholas can help,
If I collect the information on this list, it will do me a great favor."
"I try 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."
"good."
After leaving the Women's Union, Ma Wei turned around and went to Kensington Palace where the second prince lived. He took out the list he had written on the carriage and gave it to the second prince.
"Your Highness, please help me investigate the people on this list."
The second prince who was confused and confused took a look at the list and said in surprise: "These are all neutral members... Nicholas, what are you doing collecting their intelligence? This has nothing to do with your election!"
"
There is no conflict of interest between MPs from different constituencies during the election, not to mention that they are centrists. Although they are not our own people, at least they will not help the conservative party. Who will pay attention to them?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Highness, I just came back from the Women's Union."
Mavey said frankly: "Freya and I reached an agreement. She called on the women in Lambeth District to support my election, and I helped her collect intelligence. These are the MPs she wants to win over."
"Oh, if it is to support your election, I really should agree." The second prince changed the subject: "But why doesn't she come to me? On behalf of the Liberal Party, I welcome her! If we can get the support of the women's union, this election will be better.
Isn’t it easy to catch?”
"Your Highness, you can talk to her. We all grew up together. There is no need to worry about face issues."
"Well, I'll go find her tomorrow."
The second prince accepted the list: "I will hand it over to her after collecting the information."
"You'd better give it to me directly." Ma Wei said: "If it was Your Highness who passed the information to Freya, wouldn't she know that I showed you the list? This would make it difficult for me."
"Okay, okay, then I'll hand it over to her." The second prince didn't think so much. His attention was completely attracted by the beautiful vision of the rise of the Liberal Party with the support of female trade unions.
After handing the list to the second prince, Ma Wei and Yunia returned to the Flower Street Grocery Store, and it was getting dark.
"Xiao Hei, bring this list to Fat Orange and ask him to send cats to investigate."
"I got it, meow!"
Xiao Hei jumped up to the window sill with the list in his mouth, activated the mud shadow magic and disappeared into the darkness.
Of course, Ma Wei believed more in the intelligence provided by the Cat Legion than the Second Prince. It had been almost half a year since he came to London. During this period, the Cat Legion had already occupied London and further expanded outwards. To its current position,
There are spies of the Cat Legion all over the Kingdom of Windsor.
In order to support the work of the Cat Legion, Mavette dispatched members of the Aurora Society to various places in the Kingdom of Windsor to be responsible for the rewards, punishments, and food of cats.
After dinner, Yunia saw Ma Wei standing in front of the window in a daze, and asked curiously:
"Dad, what are you thinking about?"
"I wonder whether Freya can win this women's rights struggle."
"She is a devil. Dad, you don't want her to win, right?"
"I hope she wins."
In Yunia's puzzled eyes, Ma Wei said: "This has nothing to do with whether she is a devil. Although she is a devil, her actions are correct. Women should indeed have equal rights with men. There is no doubt that
On this basis, Freya’s behavior of speaking out for women deserves respect.”
"But she is a devil!"
"The murderer killed a person but saved a child who fell into the water when he was passing by the river. Should he be punished?"
Yunia thought for a while and said: "Maybe...he still killed someone, didn't he?"
"That's right, regardless of whether he saved people or not, his killing behavior will be punished, and vice versa." Ma Wei nodded and said: "His killing behavior must be distinguished from his saving people behavior.
We cannot ignore the fact that he saved people just because he killed them, but in the eyes of many people, saving people is just saving people and deserves praise, while 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 received the gratitude of the rescued and some bonuses, or a banner. But if I killed someone, I could use an apology and compensation.
Some money to settle the matter?"
Yunia was a little confused by the question, and she was extremely entangled: "Is it necessary to save people...? I don't understand... This question is so difficult..."
"Many people always regard acting bravely as a moral issue and criminals as a practical issue. This is a wrong understanding in itself." Ma Weiyouyou said: "When you don't have the right to yourself, whether it is killing someone or saving others,
, in fact, they are all moral issues.”
"The rescuer may have just had a moment of enthusiasm, but he actually performed an act of saving people. People always look at the problem from a subjective standpoint. Will they be the rescuer or the rescued?"
Yunia blinked: "Savior..."
"In fact, there are more people being rescued, because the rescuers are widely reported, and it is difficult for people to assume the identity of the rescuers. On the contrary, the rescued people who rarely appear are more empathetic." Ma Wei
Said: "When people assume the identity of the rescued, how should they thank the rescuer? The value of life is difficult to measure. When they are about to die, people always do whatever it takes, but when their wishes come true, they don't
Willing to take responsibility.”
"Like a rich man who fell off a cliff and said he was willing to give half of his property to the rescuer, but then returned after being picked up?" Levin walked into the living room and heard the conversation between Mavie and Yunia, and joined in.
.
"Yes, people always like to evade responsibilities and strive for favorable conditions for themselves. It is natural to evade responsibilities, because responsibility itself is a morality given by society. In most cases, violation will not be punished."
Ma Wei spoke slowly: "The so-called honest people are actually responsible people and moral people. They don't know how to evade responsibility and are always kidnapped by morality. And those capitalists have no morals."
"If a contract is signed, an honest person will peacefully perform the responsibilities in the contract, even the responsibilities that are not stated in the contract, but the devil is different. The devil will only perform the matters clearly stated in the contract, and the ambiguous and unclear ones.
It will not be fulfilled at all.”
"This is a moral issue." Levin understood the implication of Mawei's words: "The devil did not break the contract. Their lies are based on something other than the contract. People feel that they have been deceived, but in fact they just took advantage of it."
Contract loophole!”
"The scary thing is that this is 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 and become distorted.
Nothing beautiful.”
"In order to maintain morality, we must distinguish what is moral and what is not. In the matter of saving people from drowning, his behavior of going into the water to save people is a moral issue. Since he saved, then we should give him the rewards he deserves, and
It’s not about evading responsibility.”
"We must punish those immoral people. Only in this way can we maintain the normal development of a society."
"This... I'm afraid it's difficult to define."
Levin hesitated: "Brother, I know what you mean, but on moral issues, it's really hard to give a clear definition..."
"Then let's start from the level of responsibility." Ma Wei said: "The most practical problem between couples is nothing more than cheating. The laws of the Kingdom of Windsor do not provide clear punishment for cheating. This is unethical because cheaters do
It violated the fact of marriage and caused harm to the other party and should be punished."
"Felix, you are actually right. The moral level is difficult to define. If a country is governed by morality, its government will definitely become an extreme government. Morality cannot be the only tool of governance. It can only be an auxiliary, and it must be an auxiliary.
"
"But on some issues, we must consider morality, and even morality takes precedence over the law. A woman kills the murderer who killed her son. According to the law, she should be punished. But from a moral perspective, she
As a mother, don’t you have any reason to avenge your son? The law defines murder as wrong, but we must reduce the sentence of this mother! Who says the law is merciless? The law must be merciful!"
Ma Wei rubbed the head of Yunia who was a little stunned: "The same goes for Freya. Although she is a devil, it has nothing to do with her behavior of speaking out for women. She did the right thing, so we will
Appreciate her, whether she is a devil or not."
"Just as we cannot ignore a person's right actions just because he has made a mistake, morality and responsibility are inseparable. Only by fair consideration can we achieve justice."
