"More democracy?" Disraeli tasted his wine, frowning as he commented, "To be precise, this candidate has to be agreed upon by at least the Duke of Wellington, Earl Eldon, Earl Lyndhurst, Crook, and Sir Peel, these five people."
Arthur spoke up, "Of course I know that, but my question is why Sir Peel would refuse to become the new Prime Minister. Because in my view, as well as in terms of social opinion and combined strength, he's currently the most suitable candidate within the Tory Party."
Upon hearing this, Disraeli couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"Arthur, it's not just you who thinks that, everyone does. Last week, at the party group meeting in the White Club, Crook immediately asked, 'Who should be appointed as the new Prime Minister?' At that moment, whether it was us newcomers or the big shots, all immediately looked towards Sir Peel. After making eye contact with Sir Peel, even Earl Lyndhurst nodded slightly at him."
