Arthur leaned on the railing and began, "Alexander, this isn't about one's backside, it's about politics. His primary identity now is that of a Tory Party member under the protection of Earl Lyndhurst, and only secondarily as a Jewish man. At this stage, he can't voice too many of his own opinions."
Great Dumas snickered, "Perhaps Earl Lyndhurst chose him for that very reason? With the oppressed Jews on their side, how can anyone else propose more radical reform ideas?"
Upon hearing this, Arthur shook his head, "In my view, getting the support of Earl Lyndhurst is certainly far better than getting the support of the Duke of Newcastle. At least, Earl Lyndhurst counts among the liberals of the Tory Party, alongside Sir Peel, whereas the faction led by the Duke of Newcastle and Earl Eldon is the most difficult to deal with. In the second vote on the Parliamentary reform bill, half of the 76 votes against it came from their side."
