2024考研英语同源外刊5月:英国选民希望有更多的移民

The biggest lie in British politics is that voters want honest debate. Whenever a policy problem emerges, sensible types call for the trade-offs to be laid out before an informed voting public who will carefully weigh the options. Anyone who has sat through a focus group or gone canvassing with a politician knows this is nonsense. When faced with an either/or question, British voters usually give a decisive answer: “yes”.

英国政治中较大的谎言是选民想要真实的辩论。每当出现政策问题时，明智的人会呼吁在充分知情的选民仔细权衡各种选择前，在他们面前被摆出折中方案。但是，任何经历过焦点小组或与政治家一起进行拉票的人都知道这是荒谬的。当面临二选一的问题时，英国选民通常会给出决定性的回答：“是”。

Nowhere is this more true than immigration. A majority of voters think migration is too high, according to most polls. Almost nine out of ten Conservative voters think this; a plurality of Labour voters agree. At the same time, British voters say they want more nurses, doctors and fruit-pickers. Carers, academics, computer whizzes and students are welcome, too. Big-hearted Britons thought the country was completely right to let swathes of refugees from Ukraine into the country. Britons may not much like immigration, but they are keen on immigrants.

在移民问题上，这一点比任何地方都更为真实。大多数民意调查显示，大多数选民认为移民数量过多。几乎九成保守党选民持这一观点，工党选民中也有很多人赞同。与此同时，英国选民表示他们希望有更多的护士、医生和采摘水果的人。护工、学者和学生也受到欢迎。充满爱心的英国人认为允许大批来自乌克兰的难民进入该国是完全正确的。英国人可能不太喜欢移民，但他们对移民持欢迎态度。

If so, then the Tories have come up with an impeccably botched policy response. A Conservative government that has pledged to cut immigration at the past four elections has instead overseen an increase to a record level. Net migration hit 606.000 in Britain last year, according to figures published on May 25th, as people took advantage of a more liberal post-Brexit immigration regime. The British government has thrown open the country’s doors while complaining about the people who walk through them. It is utterly incoherent. But when it comes to immigration, so are voters.

如果是这样，那么保守党提出的政策回应就是一个极不完善的回应。保守党政府在过去的四次选举中承诺削减移民，但实际上导致移民数量达到一定的水平。根据5月25日发布的数据，去年英国的净移民达到60.6万人，人们利用了更为自由的脱欧后移民政策。英国政府一方面敞开大门，一方面抱怨通过这扇门走进来的人。这是完全不连贯的。但是当涉及到移民问题时，选民的态度也是不连贯的。
