英国学者：“压倒性胜利”？工党胜选掩盖了英国内部深刻分歧

China Daily  

导读 近日英国大选结果揭晓，基尔·斯塔默成为新一届英国首相。工党在本次选举中的“大获全胜”，很大程度上是英国独特的选举制度带来的错觉，工党的支持度并没有大选结果反映出的那么高。事实上，英国内部存在严重的割裂现象，民众深陷不安情绪之中。新一届英国政府要让民众重燃希望，推动经济持续增长，就应从中国的治国理政经验中寻找灵感，在科技、能源、国际发展等领域同中国加强务实合作。 本文为中国观察智库独家约稿，转载请注明来源：中国日报中国观察智库。 最近英国大选结果揭晓，由基尔·斯塔默领导的中间偏左政府上台，这是斯塔默第一次担任首相。对作为联合国安理会“五常”之一的英国而言，本次政府换届非常重要。 本次选举带来的变化举足轻重。英国实行两院制，由选举产生的下议院和任命产生的上议院组成，对于下议院的立法，上议院可以推迟但不能否决。在本次选举中，工党在下议院赢得的议席数比保守党多181个，是自1924年以来历届政府中最大的领先优势。这样看来，工党似乎可以放开手脚，制定任何它想要的法律和改革措施。 然而，选举结果掩盖了这个国家内部业已存在的深刻分歧。英国没有采用比例代表制，各政党在议会当中的席位分配并不反映各自得票的数量。事实上，这个国家被划分为650个地方选区，每个选区谁获得最多选票，谁就进入议会。 在这样的制度下，虽然工党在本次选举中赢得了63%的议会席位，即412个，但其实它只获得了34%的选票。组成上届政府的保守党失去了211个席位，只剩下121个，它获得的选票比例为24%。剩下还有42%的选票被13个较小政党瓜分，它们总共只获得了18%的席位，但这已经是有史以来的最高比例。 图片来源：中国日报 其次，考虑到这次选举的投票率只有60%，是1885年以来的第二低，这说明只有20%的潜在选民支持新政府。斯塔默也认识到了这些分歧，在上任后的第一次讲话中，他对那些没有把选票投给工党的人说道：“我需要郑重地告知你们，我的政府也将为你们服务。” 英国目前正深陷一种对自身的不安情绪之中。在英国，新冠疫情大流行造成的死亡人数超过了除美国和秘鲁以外的任何国家。“脱欧”决定也让这个国家产生了分歧：52%的人支持“脱欧”，48%的人反对“脱欧”，几乎各占一半。自2010年上届工党政府以来，国民收入中位数仅增长了6%，是2007-2009年经济危机前增幅的五分之一。英国民众对政府的信心从2010年的50%下降到2023年的33%。今年的一项民意调查显示，只有39%的英国人信任政府机构，在28个国家中排名垫底，而中国政府的信任度则位列第一。 这次大选正是这种不安情绪的反映。从竞选一开始，民意调查就预测工党将取得“压倒性胜利”，而保守党则开始造恐慌情绪。保守党宣称，工党将“对每个工薪家庭增税2000英镑”，“向10万非法移民敞开大门”，如果他们获得“绝对多数”，将把英国置于“危险境地”。 图片来源：中国日报 工党正从1935年以来最严重的选举失败中恢复过来，因此它当然不愿冒风险。工党承诺结束保守党政府造成的“混乱局面”，并鼓励人们“投票支持变革”——但对于“变革”究竟是什么，工党自身也含糊其辞。迫于压力，新政府不得不兑现保守党做出的不增税承诺——但这样一来，它承诺的支出从哪里来？因此，一个荒谬的情形在这次大选中浮现：英国选民投票反对他们已知的政策，支持他们未知的政策。 为了能够长期执政，工党政府认识到，有必要让民众重燃希望，并创造一个共同的国家目标，要向人们展示政治的本质可以“出于对国家的服务意识，而不是政党或自身利益考量”。显然，新政府不会以中国为榜样，但它应该吸取中国的经验，因为价值观正是中国人民对中国政府高度信任的原因。 在对经济持续增长的重视程度及其实现手段方面，新一届工党政府与中国有很大的相似之处。在竞选宣言中，工党将经济增长描述为“促进国家繁荣和提高劳动人民生活水平的唯一途径”，提出了“契合产业战略与区域发展重点的十年基础设施战略”，寻求“推动创新”，为关键研发机构提供十年的长期预算，允许其“与产业界建立战略伙伴关系”，并计划在2030年之前推出千兆宽带和全国5G覆盖。 图片来源：中国日报 实现以上宏伟蓝图的关键，是让英国成为“清洁能源超级大国”——尽管这个目标在大选前由于预算限制而有所缩减。当前，工党政府计划创建一家新的国有公司，以实现到2030年陆上风力发电增加一倍、太阳能发电增加两倍、海上风力发电增加三倍的目标。 在上述领域，尤其是绿色能源、5G技术、核电、电动汽车方面，中国的丰富经验和专业知识值得英国借鉴。英国完全可以不要模仿美国和欧盟，对从中国进口的电动汽车征收惩罚性关税，而是转向寻求中国投资，从而以低成本实现净零排放目标。 这种合作是有可能的。工党公开宣称，其有意“对中英双边关系进行审查，以提高英国理解和应对中国带来的挑战和机遇的能力”。新任外交大臣拉米同样主张“在各级政府层面与中国加强接触”。 在全球发展方面，中英两国也有合作的空间。由上届工党政府于1997年成立的国际发展部 ，作为全球发展领域的领头机构，曾在中国进行了大量的投资，然而，这个部门已经在2020年被前首相约翰逊取消。当前，新的工党政府承诺“将发展支出恢复到国民总收入0.7%的水平”，以求“在一个宜居的星球上创造一个没有贫困的世界”，并将国际发展视为“使世界变得更安全、更繁荣”的一种手段。而中国提出的“一带一路”倡议、全球发展倡议和全球安全倡议，亦向我们展示了如何通过互利合作实现构建人类命运共同体的目标。 图片来源：中国日报 本文原文发表在中国日报国际版，原标题为 "Is Britain changing for the better?" 出品：中国日报中国观察智库 责编：宋平 刘夏 编辑：张钊 【责任编辑：陈丹妮】
