One possibility – with a probability slightly above 50% according to the polls – is that Britain, the birthplace of Thatcherism and the EU’s standard-bearer of neoliberal economics, will soon have a Labour-led government committed to the biggest tax-raising program since the 1970s. Moreover, because of the peculiarities of the British electoral system and the rise of Scottish and Welsh nationalism, a Labour government’s survival would depend on the support of parties with even more radical economic agendas and dedicated to dismantling the UK.
一个可能性——根据民调结果，这一可能性略高于50%——是英国，撒切尔主义的诞生地和欧盟新自由主义经济学的旗帜，很快就会出现一个决心实施自20世纪70年代以来最大增税计划的工党政府。此外，拜英国选举制度的特殊性和苏格兰和威尔士民族主义的兴起所赐，工党政府能否生存下去取决于经济日程更加激进、以分裂英国为目标的政党的支持。
