Ed Davey says the Lib Dems have "a historic opportunity to win many more seats and a moral responsibility to stop Reform" Sir Ed Davey said the Liberal Democrats are "a firewall against Nigel Farage and Reform" as the party's conference began in Brighton.
埃德·戴维表示,自由民主党有“赢得更多席位的历史性机会,并有阻止改革的道义责任” 当自由民主党会议在布莱顿开始时,埃德·戴维爵士表示,自由民主党是“抵御奈杰尔·法拉奇和改革的防火墙”。
The Lib Dem leader sought to strike a combative stance as he faced down some criticism from MPs, including one who said publicly that they felt the party was struggling for relevance.
这位自由民主党领导人在面对国会议员的一些批评时试图采取一种好斗的立场,其中包括一位公开表示他们认为该党正在为争取相关性而奋斗的人。
On the first day of the autumn conference, Sir Ed warned an "unholy alliance" between Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Farage could turn the UK into a "Trump satellite state".
在秋季会议的第一天,埃德爵士警告说,保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺克和法拉奇之间的“邪恶联盟”可能会将英国变成“特朗普卫星国”。
Addressing speculation about a possible snap election, he said the party was ready to fight and would build its so-called orange wall even higher by winning more than its 2024 record of 72 MPs.
在谈到有关可能提前选举的猜测时,他表示,该党已做好战斗准备,并将赢得比 2024 年 72 名国会议员的记录更多的胜利,将其所谓的橙色墙建得更高。
Sir Ed's attention-grabbing stunts helped raise the party's profile ahead of the last election, but recent polling showed 43% of respondents were unclear what the Liberal Democrats stand for, with just over half describing them as "weak".
埃德爵士引人注目的表演帮助在上次选举前提升了该党的形象,但最近的民意调查显示,43% 的受访者不清楚自由民主党的立场,只有超过一半的受访者称他们“软弱”。
In an essay, external written ahead of conference, South Cotswolds MP Roz Savage asked: "Why are we as a party struggling for relevance at precisely the moment when so many people feel powerless?"
南科茨沃尔德议员罗兹·萨维奇(Roz Savage)在会议前撰写的一篇外部文章中问道:“为什么我们作为一个政党,在这么多人感到无能为力的时刻,却在为相关性而奋斗?”
She urged the party to rediscover its "insurgent spirit" rather than being the "polite custodians of a system that leaves people feeling powerless".
她敦促共产党重新发现其“叛逆精神”,而不是成为“让人们感到无能为力的制度的礼貌守护者”。
Asked about her comments, Sir Ed said: "No, I heard Roz [Savage], and I really value her, but I think she's wrong on that.
当被问及她的评论时,埃德爵士说:“不,我听到了罗兹[萨维奇]的声音,我真的很重视她,但我认为她在这一点上是错误的。
"If you look at our election results up and down the country, we now run more councils than the Conservatives."
“如果你看看我们全国各地的选举结果,你会发现我们现在管理的议会比保守党还多。”
He added: "Listen, MPs get elected and they get frustrated because they can't change the world.
他补充道:“听着,议员们当选后会感到沮丧,因为他们无法改变世界。
"I'm afraid that's the political system.
“恐怕这就是政治制度。
I've been used to it for a little while and people are learning about that frustration." Speaking on the pebbles of Brighton Beach, Sir Ed told reporters the Liberal Democrats would fight to stop a Reform government.
我已经习惯了一段时间了,人们正在了解这种挫败感。” 埃德爵士在布莱顿海滩的鹅卵石上发表讲话时告诉记者,自由民主党将努力阻止改革政府。
"One of the things that makes us unique is that we are a firewall against Nigel Farage and Reform," he said.
“我们的独特之处之一是我们是奈杰尔·法拉奇和改革的防火墙,”他说。
"Many of the seats he needs to get himself into No 10 are seats that we will defend and indeed win - and we are also able to take seats off the Conservatives, because I really fear that Kemi Badenoch will give the keys to No 10 to Nigel Farage, so we have got to stop the Conservatives as well.
“他进入第10名所需的许多席位都是我们将捍卫并确实赢得的席位——而且我们也能够从保守党手中夺走席位,因为我真的担心凯米·巴德诺克会将第10名的钥匙交给奈杰尔·法拉奇,所以我们也必须阻止保守党。
"We have got an historic opportunity to win many more seats and a moral responsibility to stop Reform."
“我们有一个赢得更多席位的历史性机会,也有阻止改革的道义责任。”
He added a manifesto working group had already been set up in case of an early election "so we'll be ready if it comes early, but, you know, it still could be up to three years away".
他补充说,已经成立了一个宣言工作组,以应对提前选举的情况,“因此,如果提前选举,我们会做好准备,但是,你知道,这可能还需要三年时间”。
Sir Ed insisted his party has a "distinctive position" in British politics, and will use the four-day conference to position it to take on the challenge from Reform as well as its typical rivals the Conservatives, talking up their focus on the NHS and goal of re-joining the EU single market and customs union.
埃德爵士坚称,他的政党在英国政治中拥有“独特的地位”,并将利用为期四天的会议来应对改革党及其典型竞争对手保守党的挑战,并宣扬他们对国民医疗服务体系的关注以及重新加入欧盟单一市场和关税同盟的目标。
The Lib Dem leader highlighted how six former Conservative cabinet ministers were among 25 Tories to have defected to Reform in the last two years, claiming they were now competing with each other to see who can divide the country more, rather than looking to fix the country's problems.
这位自由民主党领导人强调了过去两年里25名保守党成员中的6名前保守党内阁部长是如何叛逃到改革派的,并声称他们现在正在互相竞争,看看谁能进一步分裂国家,而不是寻求解决国家的问题。
"An unholy alliance between Farage and Badenoch is the only way either can get into power," he said.
“法拉奇和巴德诺克之间的邪恶联盟是他们掌权的唯一途径,”他说。
"Together, they want to turn Britain into a Trump satellite state which would trash our NHS, turn our communities against each other, cause untold damage to our environment, and trample over traditional British values of fairness, tolerance, and decency.
“他们想把英国变成特朗普的卫星国,这会破坏我们的国民医疗服务体系,让我们的社区相互对立,对我们的环境造成难以估量的破坏,并践踏公平、宽容和正派的英国传统价值观。
"A bigger Orange Wall is the only thing that can stand between Britain and this dangerous experiment, and we will not let them pass."
“更大的橙色墙是英国和这一危险实验之间唯一可以阻挡的东西,我们不会让他们通过。”
Davey also attacked the Labour government as having no plan for growth, failing to support families struggling with the cost of living and taxing small businesses "to the brink".
戴维还批评工党政府没有增长计划,未能支持那些在生活成本中苦苦挣扎的家庭,并对小企业征税“到了边缘”。
Ahead of a speech to party members, Davey urged Liberal Democrats not to look away from injustice or "human dignity under attack" but to fight back.
在向党员发表讲话之前,戴维敦促自由民主党人不要忽视不公正或“受到攻击的人类尊严”,而是要进行反击。
