The US presidential election does not implement a universal suffrage system that is unified nationwide in the country, but a special electoral system.

The so-called electoral system means that all states in the United States have a certain number of electoral votes.

In the US presidential election, the voting results of voters in each state determine the target of the corresponding electoral votes in the state. Presidential candidates decide the victory or defeat of the election based on the number of electoral votes they finally receive, rather than the specific number of voters across the country.

This ‘winner-takes-all’ election system means that it is difficult for the United States to have candidates in other parties to win elections besides the deep-rooted Democrats and Republicans.

Facts have also proved that for more than two hundred years, except for the original George Washington, there is no president from a third party other than the Democratic Republic.

Although Ross Perrow's candidacy has attracted strong attention from the media and the public, anyone with discerning eyes knows that the possibility of Ross Perrow breaking the deep-rooted political monopoly of the two parties in the United States is slim.

However, as Ross Perro attracted more and more attention, neither party in the United States dared to underestimate this independent candidate anymore.

Some conservative media have recently attacked Ross Perot, which has been deliberately done by some people.

In Simon's memory, it was not just an attack from media and public opinion. In order to prevent Perro from running for the election, the Bush administration even used some dirty tricks.

Ross Perro also withdrew from the election at one time when he was unbearable to pressure, but after several twists and turns, the strong billionaire finally participated in the election that year and received an unprecedented support rate of up to 19% for the solo candidate.

Because of sharing a large number of conservative votes that should have belonged to the Bush camp, George Bush's re-election failure to a large extent.

Simon had bet on Clinton last year and had been quietly investing money and resources to build momentum for the candidate over the past six months.

However, in Simon's view, Clinton, who has a shallow experience, can only find another way to win the presidential election.

To put it bluntly, it is to ensure that Ross Perro's candidacy is to share Bush's votes.

"A friend of mine has been working on media and public relations for the Perot family. I talked to him and took the opportunity to attend a cocktail party held by Ross Perot a few days ago. Overall, this is a very strong and conceited person who is prone to perseverance and does not like to follow other people's advice."

In the reception room of Greenwich Manor, Joseph Schlapp introduced Ross Perot's situation: "Perot was very angry about the recent media attacks and believed that he had been treated unfairly, which greatly strengthened his determination to continue to run for the election."

Janet brought the coffee in himself.

Joseph temporarily stopped the narrative, and after Janet poured coffee for everyone, he continued, "However, I think Perot's determination is difficult to last for too long, because the Republican Party will never put pressure on public opinion in order to prevent Perot from running for election.

For example, recently, Perot's computer services company is planning to assist several major securities and commodity exchanges in establishing brand new online trading systems. This is a big business and requires approval from the SEC (SEC), the Department of Justice and other departments.

If Pero insists on running, the Republican Party may set obstacles for Pero's company in these aspects. Pero himself should be very clear. The possibility of him winning the election is very low. For this reason, it will definitely not be worth the loss. Therefore, he may take the initiative to give up running."

Where there is a national government, there is never a shortage of using public power to suppress opponents.

The United States is naturally no exception.

In the Watergate incident, the Nixon administration threatened to refuse to issue a cable TV license to the Washington Post Group, trying to stop related reports from the Washington Post. The Washington Post Group almost surrendered for a time.

Of course, everyone already knows the final result.

But beyond that, there are countless other similar things.

The Westeros system's two acquisitions last year were also subject to some difficult warnings from the Republican Party because of Simon's tendency to take over the Democratic Party.

The Ross Perrow family has great achievements, and is the other person who wears shoes and is afraid of barefoot. If he insists on running for the election, he will indeed be very concerned.

Speaking of which, Ross Perot was at the forefront of the Forbes rich list several times in the 1980s, and the new technology wave emerged in the 1990s, but the Perot family, which mainly engages in computer services, has no news anymore. It is hard to say whether it is related to the continued suppression of the family company in 1992, leading to the continued suppression of the family company.

After several years of cooperation, Joseph Schrapp has gained Simon's trust, so he also knows most of Simon's layout.

After hearing what he said, Simon roughly understood that this was a reminder that if he wanted Ross Perro to persist in participating in this year's presidential election, he would help the other party solve some "worries".

Simon and Ross Perrow are not familiar with each other, but for example, what Joseph just mentioned about the online trading system, using the connections established by the Westeros system can indeed provide some help.

Moreover, after Clinton explains his interests to the Democratic Party, the Democratic camp should also make efforts to promote Perro to continue to run for the election.

Although the current White House cabinet is controlled by the Republican Party, it is not lacking in the power of the Democratic Party. The SEC is even affiliated with the government department of Congress. After the midterm elections last year, both the Senate House of Congress were under the control of the Democratic Party.

After discussing the details of promoting Ross Perrow to continue his campaign, Joseph Schrapp forwarded some documents sent by the Clinton team, mainly hoping that Simon could provide public opinion help for Clinton's campaign on the Egret Portal.

Speaking of which, in this presidential election, Simon has to do more than follow the flow and will not invest at all costs.

As the same goes, the position of the US president is too small and the gains are too big, so too much interests are involved.

For Simon now, getting too deep into it may not be worth the loss.

The Westeros system's main expansion goal in politics is still a member of the Senate and Senate who is still very powerful but does not attract much attention.

Therefore, it took only more than twenty minutes on this matter that Joseph Schrapp then talked about the progress of lobbying on the telecommunications and media industry bills that the Westeros system is concerned about.

Simon's most concerned recent bill on lifting the telecommunications industry operators from getting involved in the field of telecommunications equipment manufacturing.

After releasing its first GSM digital phone last year, Nokia's expansion in the European market was very rapid. In the United States, AT-T, the largest telecom operator in North America, and Verizon Telecom, controlled by Westeros, have both begun to lay GSM mobile communication systems.

If Nokia cannot enter the North American market as soon as possible, even if it has the advantages of a channel operator like Verizon and lags behind step by step, it will only become increasingly difficult to eventually develop the North American market.

Fortunately, it is not just the Westeros system, but also the giants in telecommunications industry such as AT-T are promoting the opening of the telecommunications industry regulation.

Although it will take one or two years to relax the integration restrictions on long-distance telephone and limited television services, the ban on telecom operators not allowed to get involved in telecom equipment manufacturing will probably be relaxed by the end of this year.

At that time, Nokia will enter the North American market.

In the media field, after Sony acquired Colombia, as more Japanese and European companies were eyeing Hollywood studios, in order to avoid Hollywood being continuously occupied by foreign capital, lifting the ban on merger between content providers and channel operators in the media industry has almost become an inevitable trend.

The relevant ban will be lifted by next year at the latest.

At that time, the traditional three major TV networks and the Hollywood studios can achieve mutual mergers. FOX TV network, which is restricted in many aspects because of its 20th Century Fox Films, can also expand its scale and become the fourth largest TV network in the United States, known as the three old public TV networks.

After the promulgation of the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890, the United States has been continuously restricting the expansion of large enterprises and giants for a century. In this process, Standard Oil Company was split, Paramount Act was born, AT-T was split into seven, and many other industries were also subject to many restrictions by antitrust laws.

It just corresponds to the saying "Divine separation will lead to unity."

At least, in Simon's memory, the United States has maintained a laissez-faire attitude towards the expansion of corporate giants in the next thirty years.

This country will also enter the next "golden age" of capital.

The continuous expansion has enabled American corporate giants to maintain their competitiveness globally in the context of globalization, but at the same time, this expansion will undoubtedly suppress innovation and hinder the development of the industry, so it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad.

However, for the Westeros system, the next thirty years will surely be the best era.

Various matters were discussed for a whole morning, and after trying to keep Joseph Schlap for lunch, he saw him off, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

It happened to be a sunny day, and the early spring sunshine brought some warmth.

There is a large lounge chair on a terrace in the manor villa. The sun shines warmly, and Janet is like a cat that has reached spring, snuggling beside Simon.

It is indeed "spring" is coming.

After giving birth to the little guy, I rested for a few months and finally had a hearty love last night, so I only got up very late this morning. When Joseph Schrapp arrived at nine o'clock, the two had just had breakfast.

Simon also squinted his eyes comfortably, feeling the warm afternoon sunshine and the soft fragrance in his arms. He was confused and didn't know how long it took. After the sunshine was blocked by the partition wall on one side of the terrace, he whispered: "Baby, how do you plan to celebrate your birthday?"

The woman's birthday is March 13th, next Friday.

Simon remembers it very clearly.

Janet, who was wrapped around Simon, moved his body, and his little paws still scratched the man a few times, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's just a birthday, I'm just a birthday."

Simon smiled and said, "Is it okay to just treat it as his 18th birthday?"

"Aowu..."

"Okay OK," he reached out to pat the woman biting her shoulder. After thinking about it, Simon said again: "Why don't we go to Australia next week and see the kids."

"Well, it's only a few days, are you sure you want to see the child?"

“…”

"hehe."

Speaking of which, through video communication, the couple can actually see little guys far away in Australia every day.

Simon was taken to Australia by Veronica, and there were some worries in his heart that he might not adapt to the local environment.

However, this situation did not happen.

Surrounded by a whole family, the little guy is even more precious than when he was in Los Angeles.

Although Janet often talks about a little annoying thing, as a mother, there is nothing wrong with her. She has always liked children. However, women don’t like the feeling of being bound by a little guy to live freely.

As for Simon, the coma after encountering Veronica for the first time caused him to merge with the original soul of this body.

Simon's original consciousness still firmly dominated the body, but, inevitably, many of the memories and emotions of the original owner of this body had an unknowingly influenced him.

In the final analysis, a body that has merged with more than ten people's souls can't be someone who is simple.

Simon Westeros now is just Simon Westeros

Janet teased and saw Simon not speaking, he held up and looked up: "Or why don't we go to Manhattan to watch the fashion show in the evening. The two 'waist and 'legs' you raised in Europe last time have been here recently."

The four major fashion weeks of this era, New York Fashion Week is still filmed after London, Paris and Milan.

This year's New York Fashion Week officially opened yesterday for ten days.

Simon picked up two models, Yasmin Gary and Naga Allman in Milan last year. His fame has continued to rise in the past six months, so he will naturally not miss this New York Fashion Week show.

With his hand on the woman's small waist again, Simon pretended to be worried and said, "You won't want to go over and hit people, are you? They are just ordinary little fairies, but they can't withstand the destruction of you, the big demon."

Janet grinned his little white teeth: "Little bastard, if you want to hit me, I should hit you."

Simon leaned down with his head slightly raised, and acted like he was letting the meat of a mermaid: "Fight, fight, I won't resist."
