Just as Arthur had dared to challenge the ruling party in many ways, Disraeli, who counted Young England among his followers, now entertained the idea of wrestling with party factions.
"I didn't want things to escalate to this point, but..." Arthur leaned back in his armchair, "Benjamin, you know what happened a while ago. If relinquishing my power could help the country progress and allow society to function well, I would have no complaints. But the fact is, they can't fulfill their responsibilities. In that case, isn't it reasonable for society to criticize them a bit?"
Of course, Disraeli didn't believe Arthur's reasoning: "But you know, no government in this world humbly accepts criticism. You have to be careful of their retaliation."
