Chapter 748 Fierce
On April 6, 2010, the current Prime Minister Brown went to Buckingham Palace to meet with the Queen and urged the Queen to dissolve Parliament in order to hold a general election.
After the Queen agreed to dissolve Parliament, Brown, accompanied by all cabinet members, formally announced the date for the national election at the door of No. 10 Downing Street - the election will start one month later on May 6 .
At the same time, Brown made a speech in this regard, saying that Britain is on the road to economic recovery...
“Nothing we do should put economic recovery in danger...”< br>
He also emphasized that Britain is facing three major challenges: ensuring economic recovery, protecting national interests and reform while working hard to reduce the fiscal deficit.
He said that the Labor Party will fight to ensure domestic fairness at all times.
The electoral campaigns of various parties in the UK will also be in full swing to compete for the 650 seats in the next House of Commons.
Cameron, leader of the Conservative Party, the largest opposition party in Britain, said on the same day that this will be the most important election in Britain in the past ten years.
He also criticized the Labor government's policies for leading Britain into recession.
Recent opinion polls have shown the Conservatives always in the lead, but their lead is shrinking.
Analysts generally believe that this will be the most fiercely contested general election between the two parties in the UK in the past decade or two.
Not long after Brown announced the general election date, Barron returned to London.
He first went to Australia from the Magic City of China. After picking up Bonnie, Tamaran Ecclestone and others, he returned to London together.
It is worth mentioning that during the time Barron left London, he purchased all three villas adjacent to his villa in Kensington - the reason for purchasing these three villas was It was also because among the villas near him, only these three were willing to sell.
After all, the people who live close to his residence are also members of the upper class. It is not easy to buy these three villas.
And during this period of time, these three villas, together with Barron's original residence, have been renovated and connected. The areas where these four villas are located are merged into one by walls, and Corresponding modifications will be made.
After he returned to London, these renovations were still not completed - according to Barron's plan, three of the four villas would be connected together with new antique buildings to form a very large building. mansion, while the space of another villa will be completely demolished and used to expand the area The garden range of the domain...
Of course, after three villas with similar styles are added to a new building to become an overall villa, the internal space division will also be re-planned, so that Make sure to live in Barron for all the children who came to live in London, as well as their mother.
The entire design will be completed by London's most famous architectural design firm and is expected to be completed before October this year.
So at this time, they temporarily lived in The Homle, a mansion located in Regent's Park.

"You don't have to let Brown continue to work for five years..."
Just after Brown announced the official election date, the 43-year-old Cameron Speaking to supporters on the south bank of the Thames, Len said:
“This is the most important general election in recent decades. You have the opportunity to choose a modern Conservative Party. When you choose us, you also choose hope, optimism and change.” In Cameron When giving this speech, Barron was sitting in the car not far away.
Sitting next to him is Joe Harriman, the Minister of Women and Equality in the Conservative shadow cabinet, who will also try his best in this election.
“Judging from the support rate, the Conservative Party is in a very good situation...”
Seeing Barron looking through the car window towards Cameron in the distance, listening to After hearing the words from his mouth, Joe Harriman raised his eyebrows:
"It does seem so, but recently, our lead in support ratings has gradually been caught up by the Labor Party."
On April 6, a poll released by the British market research organization ICMRESearch showed that the support rate of the Conservative Party was 37%, a decrease of 1 percentage point from last week; the support rate of the Labor Party was 33%, an increase of 4 percentage points from last week. percentage points.
As Joe Harriman said, the support rates of both parties are still very tight. Although the Conservative Party’s support rate is still 4 percentage points higher than the incumbent Labor Party, it wants to start from Brown and Labor regain power, Cameron still has a long way to go There is still a long way to go...
"I have read relevant information. It seems that in the competition between you, the Conservative Party does not have an advantage on the most critical economic issues."
Listen Upon hearing his words, Joe Harriman took a deep breath and nodded.
Although the Conservative Party blames the current economic recession in Britain on Brown's previous economic policies for many years - before becoming Prime Minister, Brown sat as Chancellor of the Exchequer for nearly 10 years.
However, even if voters do not believe Brown, they are also not confident about Osborne, the 38-year-old finance minister in the Conservative shadow cabinet.
Because if the Conservative Party is elected, the members of its shadow cabinet will often not change, so Osborne, who is now the Conservative Shadow Cabinet Finance Minister, will inevitably serve as the Finance Minister of the new government.
Many people understand that Brown has done an outstanding job as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Even so, after he became Prime Minister, the appointment of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was his deputy, and the relevant policies will definitely be Still bearing the shadow of Brown, it is impossible to avoid the economic recession that occurred in England after the subprime mortgage crisis.
Judging from the resume of Osborne, the finance minister in the Conservative shadow cabinet, it is difficult to expect that he will be able to go all out and achieve achievements beyond Brown.
"I know you are also very interested in the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer, but it is still too early..."
Jo Harriman has an education background in economics and has been engaged in related professions before. But on the one hand, her age - 38-year-old Osborne, was born in an ancient Anglo-Irish aristocratic family and graduated from Oxford. University, even so, he is still not favored as chancellor, let alone the younger Joe Harriman.
If Osborne becomes Chancellor of the Exchequer, he will be the youngest Chancellor of the Exchequer in Britain in a century!
You must know that the Chancellor of the Exchequer can be said to be the most important position in the British cabinet, second only to the Prime Minister - the four most important positions are the Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Foreign Secretary and the Home Secretary.
This is completely different from the fact that Joe Harriman plays a very low role as the Minister of Women and Equality in the shadow cabinet - sometimes the Minister of Women and Equality is not even held by a dedicated person, but is held concurrently by the Home Secretary.
Barron knows that if the Conservative Party wins this election according to the direction of his previous life, then Osborne will indeed serve as the Minister of Finance in the cabinet, and he has done a pretty good job. .
However, during Cameron's second term, the candidate for finance minister will be changed.
Based on Joe Harriman's resume, she was more suitable to hold a more important position at that time. Even if she could not be the Minister of Finance, there was still hope for at least the Foreign Secretary or the Home Secretary.
Jo Harriman is also clear about this. At her current age, it is already very rare to be able to serve as a cabinet member. It is also her identity as a woman and a minority, plus Barron Only with the support behind us can we achieve such achievements.
