New Zealand: Ordonez (Liberal Party, 40%) VS Julio (Socialist Party, 60%)

Tasmania: Maximo (Liberal Party, 36%) vs. Orbes (Socialist Party, 64%).

Looking at the current poll published by The Australian Times, everyone can't help but start to see the frightening intensity of the campaign.

William IV also saw this report, and like everyone else, he already had some idea of ​​the election results, but until the last moment, no one knew what would happen in the end.

Eyes fell on it.

“Judging from the polls, the Liberal Party is somewhat certain to win Melbourne City, William City, and South Australia Province, and it is a [-]-[-] tie in Western Australia.

The Christian Party is dominant in New South Wales, Queensland and Northern Australia.

The Socialist Party will continue to stabilize its base in New Zealand and Tasmania, draw a tie with the Liberal Party in Western Australia, and may even threaten William Province."

Queen Alexandra was a little puzzled and said: "Under the current circumstances, it seems to be consistent with previous predictions."

William IV and Queen Alexandra were discussing the election.

Several children are currently in school age, so this is their world for two.

William IV shook his head, "If you think so, then you have missed something good."

"What a good thing, you tell me." After Alexandra finished speaking, she didn't even give William IV a look. Speaking of which, one of them was 38 years old and the other was 34 years old. They were both middle-aged old men. She was married, but when she was alone, Alexandra still liked the feeling she had when they first met in Denmark.

Of course, the same goes for William IV.

Therefore, he was not surprised. On the contrary, if this scene was seen by outsiders, it would be shocking.

"Jane von Lopek and Theo von Linden are more decent people, but don't forget, some people don't like this." William IV smiled: "So, before this election is over, everything will There are variables.”

Alexandra's heart suddenly moved and she asked: "Jules Danetant of the Socialist Party?"

She showed an eye-catching light, "Doesn't the Socialist Party have other trump cards? Impossible. If it had, it would have been used long ago. Why hasn't it been used until now?"

William IV smiled and said: "Some tricks, if used earlier, will not have much effect. The greatest efficiency can be achieved by timing well. Alexandra, election is a very delicate knowledge. , Although it is short in time, the preparation time is a cycle of four years, and preparations for the election four years later start from the end, so there is a lot of knowledge in it? "

Queen Alexandra suddenly said with some dissatisfaction: "I don't believe it, your guess is so accurate."

William IV smiled and said: "Don't believe it?"

Queen Alexandra: "Of course"

William IV smiled and said: "Then just wait and see."

As soon as William IV finished speaking, he suddenly found Crewe, the palace guard chief, walking in hurriedly. After getting permission to perform all the ceremonials, he said with a horrified expression: "Your Majesty, something happened in the Western Australia provincial election. The Socialist Party candidate for Governor Walker was shot with two bullets, and the election venue was in chaos."

On the morning of December 1878, 12, the world was using telegraphs to quickly spread a message.

During the election in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which claims to be the first country in the world to achieve three-party elections, a shooting occurred. Senator Walker, a rising political star of the Socialist Party and a candidate for governor of Western Australia, was shot twice and is currently being treated in the hospital.

When the news came out, it shocked the world.

The news that Walker was shot was like a tornado, causing people who had not voted to stop voting in the Dutch general election, which was originally proceeding slowly.

The attention of the international community has also fallen on the Australian continent of the Netherlands. Even the chaotic situation in South America has stopped for a while as if it had been tapped.

Only then did everyone react, and Dutch society issued statements condemning the shooter.

At this time, as the highest figure in the Netherlands, William IV, who is famous for his sea-fixing needle, naturally would not hide behind the scenes. He stood up and condemned:

"I don't know why something like this happened, but all whys should not be the cause of this incident. We will not let go of anyone who organized this incident. We will find out and put him on trial because he is destroying our Netherlands. This is a great election for the kingdom. Neither I nor my people will allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, I have ordered the Gerrit Cabinet Government, the Procuratorate, and the Court to follow up on the incident and conclude the case as quickly as possible.

Finally, the election will continue, and we will take more stringent measures to maintain order and allow the election to proceed more smoothly."

Following William IV's statement, as allies of the Socialist Party, the Christian Party naturally came forward to accuse the campaign of sabotaging the election.Spokesperson at the Christian Party headquarters: "We will not be knocked down by the violence of the election, because we will not be afraid, so we call on all voters to support the Socialist Party. Of course they are happy to support our Christian Party. Everyone has always supported Lying in the Hospital Treat Senator Walker, he will not be knocked down."

The Liberal Party naturally made it clear that they were blaming the suspects, so the Liberal Party took measures to get rid of active service. However, this time, even Western Australia Senator Rams, a gubernatorial candidate, did not dare to attack Walker.

As a result, many votes, even many of the original free votes of the Liberal Party, were biased towards Walker.Not only that, even in other parts of the Socialist Party, such as the Province of Wilhelm, where the Libertarian Party candidate Santos originally only had 49%, which was lower than the Liberal Party's 51%, Franck began to receive a large number of votes from voters.And it’s publicly supported.

This suddenly seemed like a blessing in disguise for the Socialist Party.
