First, as in many other democracies, support for the United Kingdom’s two main political parties is declining. When I first became interested in politics, nearly 50 years ago, Labour and the Conservatives attracted some 90% of the popular vote.
首先，与许多其他民主国家一样，英国两大政党的支持度正在下降。我第一次对政治感兴趣时，也就是在近50年前，工党和保守党吸引了90%左右的公众支持。而在5月，它们两党相加大概能达到65%到70%。
