Chapter 185:
When Lynch first laid eyes on the article "We Are Isolated and Helpless," he immediately recognized it as the work of the Progressive Party. Only someone with a profound understanding of domestic and international affairs could write such a piece.
Getting such an article published in the media wasn't easy either. It required substantial backing and influence to ensure that the media would print it without hesitation.
At this critical juncture, the only entity Lynch could imagine boldly backstabbing the Conservative Party, despite the domestic situation, was the Progressive Party itself.
Ordinary individuals or forces acting in such a manner would only enrage the ruling party. Even though the Conservatives were currently in disarray, dealing with an unruly entity or force would still be relatively straightforward for them.
They could even use this article to create another distraction, diverting public attention. However, their inaction implied that they were unable to immediately confront and produce results against the instigator of the article.
Only the Progressive Party had the capability to act like this, and their motives were not difficult to guess.
The war between the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party had been ongoing for a long time. Sorry to the Socialists, they had no part in this—they always avoided competition between the two major parties from the beginning, making them eternal bystanders.
When the Conservative Party's policies were deemed a mistake, the country's direction needed to change. Lynch even believed that the Conservative Party's upper echelons were aware of this.
Politics, sometimes, was dirty, ugly, yet oddly sacred.
