If Clegg’s job is almost impossible, Cameron’s job is also much harder than it should be because the British electoral system is tilted heavily against the Conservatives. The more Labour-oriented parts of the United Kingdom – Wales, Scotland, and urban England – are over-represented.
如果说克列格的获胜几乎不可能的话，那么卡梅隆要付出的努力也比常规多得多，这是因为英国的选举系统是向工党严重倾斜的。那些由工党所主导的地区——威尔士，苏格兰和英格兰农村地区——所选出的代表数量可是超出正常比例的。
