CAMBRIDGE – Public-opinion polls show that citizens in many democracies are unhappy with their leaders. This is particularly true in Great Britain, where a number of members of Parliament have used their housing allowances to enhance their income, sometimes legally and sometimes not.
剑桥——民意调查显示，许多民主国家的公民对其领导人并不满意，这一现象在英国尤甚，该国许多议员曾利用住房补贴增加收入，这一行为时而合法，时而非法。一些分析家预测，只有半数的英国议员将在明年的选举中获得连任。
