Originally, Tangning was very happy because Mary was coming tomorrow.

"How long has it been since the United Whigs lost another eastern state!"

However, when he saw a message from the United States, he was a little unhappy, but he also felt a little lucky for his previous decision.

“It’s really a blessing that the western policy was right at the time.

The United Whig Party, facing the Democratic and Republican parties with deep roots, really cannot shake them in the east. If it concentrates its development there, it will fail sooner or later.

The foundation of the United Whig Party was still in the West. "

Tangning knew how powerful the United States was and took precautions against it.

In order to support his own political power in the United States, Downing selected the Whig Party, which was about to enter the garbage heap of history, reformed its party doctrine, renamed it the United Whig Party, and reestablished it.

Before leaving the United States, the United Whig Party influenced by Downing was developing well, and its power expanded to 17 states in the east and west.

In the east, it controls two wealthy and sparsely populated states, Rhode Island and Delaware, and six less economically developed states, including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas, for a total of eight states.

In the West, the Unified Whig Party won nine western states: Montana, Idaho, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Oklahoma, and California.

The reason why the United Whig Party was able to rise was not only to win over other small parties, but also because they took the line of opposing excessive centralization of power, uniting ethnic minorities and winning over labor.

However, after the rise of the United Whig Party, they were wary and hostile to the Democratic Party and the Republican Party controlled by the Nazis, and launched an attack on him.

Faced with this situation, in addition to finding ways to hold on to the eastern sphere of influence, Downing decisively moved the center of Whig power to the west, where the Anglo-Saxons were weak and Latins, Indians, and East Asians gathered.

The United Whig Party had a general headquarters and five branches.

The main party headquarters is in San Francisco, and the five branches are in Salt Lake City, Oklahoma, Seattle, and Los Angeles in the west, and five fulcrums are set up in Providence in the east. The overall political power is entrenched in the west.

This measure was effective, and the political influence of the United Whig Party in the West was consolidated. None of the eight Western states were lost, but the eight eastern states' persistence in policy was unsuccessful and six were lost.

Maine, Delaware, and Vermont in the northern part of the country were reviewed by the Republican Party, and Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas in the eastern and southern region were reviewed by the Democratic Party.

Now in the East, the United Whigs were left with only two small states, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, and together with the nine states in the West, the political map only had eleven states.

The United Whig Party was able to retain Rhode Island and New Hampshire. The big reason was that the proportion of Latinos in these two states was large and the influence of the Anglican people was not strong.

Rhode Island's ethnic ratio: 81.9% white, 8.7% Hispanic, 4.9% African American, 2.7% mixed race, 2.3% Asian American, and 0.5% Native American.

The top five white ethnic groups in Rhode Island are Italian (19%), Irish (18.4%), British (12%), French (10.9%), and Portuguese (8.7%).

The ethnic ratio of New Hampshire is: 95.1% white, 1.7% Hispanic, 1.3% yellow, 0.7% black, 0.2% Indian, and 1.1% mixed race.

The top five white ethnic groups in New Hampshire are: Irish (19.4%), English (18%), French (14.6%), French Canadians (10.6%), and Germans (8.6%).

In these two states, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Hispanic Americans have a high proportion of Latinos, while Irish Americans, who have great conflicts with the British, also account for about 18% to 19%.

The United Whig Party has three core party platforms: 1. Respect Latins, Indians, Orientals and other ethnic minorities; 2. Oppose excessive centralization of power and protect state rights; 3. Sympathize with labor and promote the establishment of a reasonable labor remuneration system.

The first and second were implemented most thoroughly, and the third was used flexibly. The Whig Party protected labor, but in fact it was more superficial. valley

The United States has now entered the era of monopoly capitalism, and the living conditions of workers are very harsh. At this time, the Whig Party stood up and said that it would sympathize with and protect workers, but it actually had reservations.

Saying that it sympathizes with and protects labor, the United Whig Party is more likely to have a better relationship with the small workers' union parties.

The specific method of operation is that the United Whig Party helped them shout slogans in parliament, and introduced labor bills that were unrealistic and would not be passed. What they did was actually just a little better than what democracy and the republic had done.

From the 19th century to the early 20th century, there were many political parties in the United States. Democracy and the Republic were the two absolute pillars. Other political groups included the Socialist Party, the Socialist Labor Party, the Socialist Workers Party, and the American Labor Organization...

In this era, workers' social and political groups have emerged, but they have been violently suppressed. The United Whig Party's so-called sympathy for labor is to use them to win votes.

Tang Ning has no real intention to protect Americans, nor does he want to help the United States make up for its shortcomings.

He just wants to support a minority party headed by the Latin people, so as to occupy a place in American politics and hinder the control of the United States at a critical moment.

In fact, in the West, the Latins were not completely dominant. The United Whigs' advantage could only be said to be slightly stronger than that of the Democrats and Republicans.

The Latin race is actually mainly distributed in the western New Mexico and California regions that Mexico ceded to the United States.

The six states separated from these two regions, including California, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, were the solid territory of the unified Whig Party.

In the three states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho separated from the Oregon region, and in more than a dozen states including Montana, Wyoming, and Oklahoma separated from the Louisiana region, Latinos do not dominate at all.

In other words, the truly solid foundation of the United Whig Party is California, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Arizona in the west, plus Rhode Island and New Hampshire in the east, a total of eight states.

These eight states, among the more than 40 states in the United States, occupy a small part of the political landscape.

However, the Whig Party did not only rely on Latins, Indians, East Asians, Mormons, etc. were also important bases.

Montana, Idaho, and Oklahoma were not originally Latin territory, but the Unified Whigs still held these three western states.

Montana, this western northern state, has the harshest climate in the United States. It is only slightly better than the desert state of Nevada. It has a sparse population and not many votes. The Republican and Democratic parties do not pay attention to it. The United Whig Party won it. , and operate it.

Idaho, Utah, which is close to the Mormon stronghold of Salt Lake City, has a large number of Christians here, so the Unified Whig Party can control it.

Oklahoma was originally an Indian reservation. There are many Indians here, and there are also some Latinos who were pushed here by Texas. It is simply a gathering place for ethnic minorities. It was a matter of course that the United Whigs could win this place.

The United Whig Party has more than 50,000 members, 50% are Latins, 20% are Indians, 20% are Asians such as Orientals, Japanese, and Koreans, and 20% are Irish, Greeks, Slavs, etc. White people account for 10%.

It can be seen from this distribution that the United Whig Party is definitely a gathering place for ethnic minorities in the United States and is in a weak position in the American political landscape.

In the future, this party is expected to be limited to two states in the east and nine states in the west. It will be difficult to move forward.

However, being able to firmly control 11 states is enough for Tang Ning.

As long as the United Whigs existed, they were dividing the unity of America, and he could influence America through this party.

Even if one day this party escapes its control, its existence can still hold the United States back.

After reading the cable and analyzing the situation in the United States, Tangning picked up her OPPO lighter and burned it.
