利物浦——英国首相安迪·伯纳姆上任两个多月后，正为一场对英国国家体制进行毫不掩饰的社会主义式大改革铺路。
LIVERPOOL—Just over two months into his tenure as U.K. prime minister, Andy Burnham is laying the groundwork for an unabashedly socialist overhaul of the British state.
本周，未系领带的伯纳姆大步走上利物浦工党年度大会的舞台，发表了一场饱含情感、令人振奋的演讲。
他没有重复那些屡次出现的短期经济增长承诺，而是聚焦于一个以大规模国家干预、旨在团结英国政治左翼的长期愿景。
This week, a tieless Burnham strode across the stage at his Labour Party’s annual conference in Liverpool, delivering an emotional and upbeat pitch that eschewed the oft-repeated promises of short-term economic growth and instead focused on a long-term vision of big state intervention aimed at uniting Britain’s political left wing.
这项计划可能从根本上改变英国的政治轨迹，意味着未来数年可能持续增税，英国国家政府的规模也可能扩大至更接近欧洲同类国家。
The plan—which could fundamentally alter the country’s political trajectory—raises the prospect of years of tax increases to come and the U.K. state growing to a size more comparable to its European peers.
一切都取决于伯纳姆能否赢得下一次选举，该选举最迟须在2029年举行。
Much hinges on Burnham winning the next election, which must be called by 2029.
若获胜，他希望论证英国应部分或全面撤销脱欧，并大幅拉近与欧盟的关系。始于玛格丽特·撒切尔任期的数十年私有化进程可能被逆转。
If he does, he wants to make the case for the U.K. to undo Brexit either in part or in full and draw far closer to the European Union. Decades of privatization, started under Margaret Thatcher, could be rolled back.
国有医疗体系将扩大至老年护理领域，部分资金来自压低国家养老金的增长幅度。
The nationalized healthcare system would be expanded to include elderly care, funded in part by trimming the growth in state pensions.
他还承诺彻底改革选举制度，摆脱胜者通吃的格局，为更多欧洲式联合政府铺平道路。
He also pledged to overhaul the voting system, to move it away from a winner-takes-all system, opening the path to more European-style coalition governments.
