安迪·伯纳姆表示,未来工党竞选宣言“有可能”承诺就英国是否留在欧盟举行新的公投。
Andy Burnham has said it is "possible" a future Labour election manifesto could promise a new in-out referendum on the European Union.
首相告诉英国广播公司(BBC),现在举行公投“并非正确之举”,但英国需要“考虑各种选项”来处理与欧盟的关系,因为“现状不够好”。
The prime minister told the BBC a referendum "wouldn't be the right thing to do right now" but the UK needed to "consider the options" for its relationship with the EU as "where we are isn't good enough".
此前,他在周二的工党大会演讲中承诺,将在今年晚些时候的峰会上探索与欧盟建立更紧密的关系。
It comes after he pledged in his Labour conference speech on Tuesday to explore closer ties with the bloc at a summit later this year.
这一举措可能在下届大选中制造巨大分歧,保守党指责伯纳姆试图“重启脱欧岁月的战斗,揭开陈年旧疮”。
The move could set up a huge dividing line at the next general election, with the Conservatives accusing Burnham of trying to "reopen old wounds by restarting the battles of the Brexit years".
作为梅克菲尔德补选候选人——这次补选让他重返议会——伯纳姆曾承诺不“重提”脱欧争论,并表示他“不主张英国考虑重新加入欧盟”。
As a candidate in the Makerfield by-election that propelled his return to Parliament, Burnham had promised not to "re-run" Brexit arguments and said he was "not proposing that the UK considers rejoining the EU".
在接受BBC政治编辑克里斯·梅森采访时,伯纳姆被质疑尽管5月曾承诺不这样做,但现在是否在重启关于重新加入欧盟的分裂性争论。
In an interview with BBC political editor Chris Mason, Burnham was challenged over whether he was reopening divisive arguments about rejoining the EU, despite promising not to in May.
作为回应,首相表示:“不,我并没有提议那样做,对吧?我是说,在我们着眼于英国10年规划的背景下,英国需要考虑我们将处于何种位置的各种选项。”
In response, the PM said: "No, I'm not proposing that, am I? I am saying that in a context when we're looking at a 10-year plan for Britain, Britain needs to consider the options as to where we will be.
“这距离提交公众表决的任何东西还早得很,这只是关于现在审视我们关系的大致选项。”他建议这些选项可能包括“维持现状”、类似欧盟与加拿大正在讨论的更紧密关系,或重新加入欧盟关税同盟。
"That is way before you even get to anything that's put before the public, this is about now just looking at what are the broad options for our relationship." He suggested these options could include staying "exactly as we are", a closer relationship similar to that being discussed by the EU and Canada or rejoining the EU customs union.
然而,伯纳姆强调,“现在直接跳到提出方案并就其举行公投,并非正确之举”。
However, Burnham stressed that "to leap back to a proposal and a referendum on it wouldn't be the right thing to do right now".
当被问及在未来的工党竞选宣言中纳入脱欧公投是否是一种可能时,伯恩ham表示:“是的,事情是有可能的。我认为我们目前的现状还不够好。”此前在英国广播公司第四台(BBC Radio 4)的《今日》节目中被问及是否希望英国重新加入欧盟时,伯恩ham回答说他希望“看看各种选择”。
Pressed over whether including an in-out referendum in a future Labour manifesto was a possibility, Burnham said: "Yes, things are possible. I think where we are isn't good enough." Asked earlier on BBC Radio 4's Today if he wanted the UK to rejoin the EU, Burnham replied that he wanted to "look at the options".
首相补充说,他以前曾主张在有生之年采取这样的举动,同时承认“现在未必如此”。
The PM added that he had previously advocated such a move within his lifetime, whilst acknowledging it was "not necessarily the case that that is now".
法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙表示,如果英国想要重返欧盟,这将是“非常好的消息”,而西班牙首相佩德罗·桑切斯则表示,他的国家将“敞开双臂”欢迎英国回归。
French President Emmanuel Macron said it would be "very good news" if the UK wanted to rejoin the EU, while Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said his country would welcome Britain back "with open arms".
自由民主党党魁埃德·戴维爵士表示,该党已经提出了“通过加入单一市场和关税同盟来振兴我们的经济、加强我们的防务以及为民众减税的具体计划”。
Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said his party had put forward "concrete plans to boost our economy, strengthen our defences and cut people's taxes by joining the single market and a customs union".
他补充说:“空谈廉价。伯恩ham必须停止所有的‘也许’,今天就开始为英国争取更好的协议进行谈判。”该党的欧洲事务发言人阿尔·平克顿上周表示,目前“没有重新加入的讨论”,并补充说,如果英国希望再次加入该集团,实际上将被视为一个“新加入国”。
He added: "Talk is cheap. Burnham must stop with all the 'maybes' and get negotiating that better deal for Britain today." The party's Europe spokesperson Al Pinkerton said last week there is "no rejoin on the table", adding Britain would effectively be treated as a "fresh entrant state" if it wished to join the bloc again.
英国改革党副党魁理查德·泰斯指责伯恩ham“试图通过后门把我们悄悄带回布鲁塞尔”。
Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice accused Burnham of "trying to sneak us back into Brussels via the back door".
泰斯说:“他说脱欧带来的危害大于好处,但真正造成危害的是一个无法实现增长、无法控制移民,现在还想把工作外包给布鲁塞尔的工党政府。”他补充说,改革党“绝不会让这种背叛行为不受挑战”。
Tice said: "He says Brexit has done more harm than good but what's done real harm is a Labour government that can't deliver growth, can't control migration and now wants to outsource the job to Brussels." He added Reform would "never let this betrayal go unchallenged".
伯恩ham周二在工党会议演讲中将失去对移民和经济的控制归咎于脱欧,他告诉代表们,他认为目前的关系“还不够好”。
In his Labour conference speech on Tuesday, Burnham blamed Brexit for a loss of control over both immigration and the economy, telling delegates he did not believe the current relationship was "good enough".
他向激进人士表示,他希望利用今年晚些时候重新安排的峰会,为英国与欧洲的长期关系阐述“不同的选择”。
He told activists he wanted to use the rescheduled summit later this year to lay out "different options" for the UK's long-term relationship with Europe.
他承诺会“寻求共识”,以明确英国的立场,但并未详细说明具体如何实现这一目标。
He promised to "find consensus" on an option to clarify the UK's position, although did not offer further detail of how this would be measured.
针对伯纳姆的演讲,保守党副领袖亚历克斯·伯格哈特表示:“工党不能将自己糟糕的经济决策归咎于十多年前的一次投票结果。此外,他们正通过所谓的‘欧盟关系重新调整’计划,暗中将我们重新拉入欧盟的怀抱。”绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基则指出:“安迪·伯纳姆对于修复英国与最大贸易伙伴关系的提议,仅仅是承诺保持各种选择的可能性(即不提前锁定任何具体方案)。绿党明确主张英国应重新加入关税同盟,以开始扭转当前的经济困境;而成为欧盟的正式成员国仍然是对英国最有利的选择。”
In response to Burnham's conference speech, Conservative deputy leader Alex Burghart said: "Labour cannot pin the blame for their disastrous economic decisions on a vote that happened over a decade ago. "Besides, they are already dragging us into the European Union via the back door with their EU reset." Green Party leader Zack Polanski said: "All Andy Burnham offers on repairing our relationship with our biggest trading partner is a promise to keep our options open. "The Green Party is very clear that we should rejoin the customs union to start reversing the damage, and full membership of the EU remains the best option for the UK." to read top political analysis, gain insight from across the UK and stay up to speed with the big moments.
