But, whatever the outcome, a new government will face a daunting challenge – challenges that will be even more daunting in the case of a “hung parliament,” which will require either a coalition government or minority government to be formed after the vote. It is not just that tough measures will be required to rein in public spending for years to come.
但无论结果如何，新政府都将面对一项令人畏惧的挑战——比一个“无多数派议会”所造成的混乱更令人裹足不前的挑战，这就是选举后可能需要组建一个联合政府或者少数派政府。不仅需要政府用强力手段去控制未来几年的公共支出，而更令人担忧的则是许多选民似乎都倾向于否定这个现实。人们可能会发现一旦所有选举活动结束之后，真实的经济状况对他们的冲击就如同一盆冷水从头浇到腿。
