In Europe, broad-based discussion was undermined by the outcome of the Italian election – just the latest sign of how frustrated citizens in a growing number of countries are rejecting conventional political parties and the political status quo. With that, it becomes more difficult to pursue longer-term policy objectives, which merely adds further uncertainty about the precise path of European economic and financial integration.
在欧洲，意大利的选举结果破坏了那些全局性的讨论——这只是越来越多国家的受挫公民们开始对传统的政党和政治现状说不的最新表现而已。在这种情况下，要追求长期的政策目标变得更加困难，而这又进一步增添了欧洲经济与金融一体化进程的不确定性。
