亨利·泽夫曼 英国政党大会引发国际谴责，这绝非寻常之事，更何况是较小政党的会议。
By Henry Zeffman It is not exactly typical for a British party conference, let alone that of one of the smaller parties, to elicit international condemnation.
然而，英格兰和威尔士绿党如今正面临这一局面，因为以色列外交部表示，将禁止该党领袖扎克·波兰斯基入境。
Yet that is the position the Green Party of England and Wales is in today after Israel's foreign ministry said it was banning their leader, Zack Polanski, from entering the country.
引发此事的原因是周日大会通过的一项由党员提出的动议，该动议宣称犹太复国主义——即相信犹太人拥有建立家园的权利——是一种种族主义。
The cause was the motion proposed by party members and adopted by the conference on Sunday, declaring Zionism, which is the belief in the right to a Jewish homeland, to be racism.
绿党的这项动议将犹太复国主义描述为支持“一个民族国家主义犹太国”的意识形态，并转而支持“在整个历史巴勒斯坦地区建立一个单一的民主巴勒斯坦国”。
The Green motion describes Zionism as an ideology supporting "an ethnonationalist Jewish state", and supports instead a "single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine".
波兰斯基，乃至许多绿党成员，恐怕不太会因以色列对该动议的谴责而感到困扰。过去一年左右，绿党在选举中取得显著进展，这是该党极为成功的时期，其中一个关键因素正是他们对以色列在加沙的战争以及在该地区更广泛行动的明确且大声的谴责。
It's hardly likely that Polanski or indeed many Greens are going to be much troubled by Israel's condemnation of the motion. One major factor in the Greens' electoral gains over the past year or so, a hugely successful period for the party, has been their clear and vocal condemnation of Israel's war in Gaza and actions in the region more generally.
对绿党而言，更令人担忧的或许是这一事件所揭示的党内某些动态。
What may be more troubling for the Greens institutionally is what this episode reveals about some of the dynamics in the party.
许多绿党成员为党内的民主制度感到自豪：这项动议由党员提出并经党员投票表决。然而，这导致了一种局面，即绿党的主要当选政客因党内政策而受到审视，而绝大多数他们本人对此持反对态度。
Many Greens are proud of the party's internal democracy: this motion was proposed by and voted on by party members. Yet that has resulted in the scenario of leading Green elected politicians facing scrutiny over party policy which the vast majority of them opposed.
波兰斯基并非国会议员，他希望对动议进行修改，但被大会否决，最终他未参与辩论或投票。在绿党的五名国会议员中，有四人反对该动议。
Polanski, who is not an MP, wanted changes to the motion which were rejected by the conference, and ultimately did not participate in the debate or vote. Of the Greens' five MPs, four opposed the motion.
其中发声最激烈的是韦弗尼谷选区的国会议员阿德里安·拉姆齐。他担任绿党联合领袖长达四年，直到去年九月，他与搭档以巨大差距败给波兰斯基。
The most vocal of them was Adrian Ramsay, the MP for Waveney Valley, who was a Green co-leader for four years until September last year when he and his running mate were defeated by Polanski by a vast margin.
因此，其中一个因素是绿党在波兰斯基领导下活动基础性质的变化，从关注环境转向更广泛的左翼民粹主义政治，并融入了大量“反帝国主义”外交政策元素。
So an element of this is the changing nature of the Greens' activist base under Polanski's leadership, moving away from an environmental focus to a more general left-populist politics, incorporating a large element of 'anti-imperialist' foreign policy.
然而，这可能不是最后一个导致党员与议员之间公开争执的议题，其中四位议员是在上一次大选中在不同领导人带领下当选的。
Yet this may not be the last issue where that results in a public dispute between the membership and their MPs, four of whom were elected at the last general election under different leadership.
值得注意的是，尽管波兰斯基当选领导人明确象征着绿党路线的这一转变，他并未支持这项动议。因此，这也可能预示着波兰斯基与部分党员之间的紧张关系，其中一些人正是受他领导风格的激励而加入绿党。
And it is striking that, though Polanski's election as leader was a clear symbol of that shift in the Greens' approach, he did not back this motion. So this could presage tensions too between Polanski and the party membership, some of whom will have been inspired to join the Greens by his leadership.
从实际层面来看，绿党议员将能够在议会中继续支持与该党新政策不同的立场。
In practical terms, the Green MPs will be able to continue espousing a different position in parliament to the party's new policy.
绿党没有党鞭制度，这意味着议员可以自由投票。其地方议员也是如此，包括在5月地方选举后绿党执政的近40个议会中。
The Greens do not have a whipping system, meaning that MPs are free to vote as they wish. This is also true of their councillors, including in the almost 40 councils where the Greens are in power after the May local elections.
值得关注的是，这些紧张关系是否会导致推动限制党会议制定政策的权力，或者朝相反方向——限制当选代表违抗党政策的权力。另外，这项动议可能在未来给安迪·伯纳姆带来政治麻烦。
It will be interesting to see whether as a result of these tensions there is a push either to constrain the ability of the party conference to make policy, or in the other direction - to constrain the ability of elected representatives to defy party policy.
在上周的工党大会演讲中，首相表示他正在组建一个关于选举改革的“全国委员会”，以期长期改变大选所使用的制度。
Separately, this motion may present a political headache down the line for Andy Burnham.
虽然伯纳姆没有具体说明他想要什么制度，但他表示工党将在下次大选中承诺推行一种新制度，让“每个人的选票都有价值，每个人的声音都被听到”。
In his Labour conference speech last week, the prime minister said he was forming a "national commission" on electoral reform, with a view to changing the system used for general elections in the long-term.
根据目前的趋势，如果采用更加公平、比例更合理的选举制度，绿党在议会中的席位很可能会增加。在议会出现“悬而未决”（即无法形成多数派）的情况下，绿党很自然会成为工党寻求支持的政党，因为双方都属于进步阵营。
While Burnham did not specify what system he wanted, he said that Labour would at the next general election commit to a new system where "everyone's vote counts and everyone's voice is heard".
然而，绿党本周末的一些行为却遭到了工党主席布里奇特·菲利普森的严厉批评，她称这些行为“可耻”且“从根本上是错误的”。工党社区事务部长安吉拉·雷纳表示，绿党提出的相关提案“已经越过了底线”，并“理所当然地遭到了整个政治界的谴责”。长期以来，工党在选举制度改革问题上一直存在分歧；虽然现任工党领袖明确支持改革，但绿党这次提出的提案反而可能无意中加剧工党内部对首相相关议程的反对情绪。
Under a move to any more proportional system, on current trends, there would likely be more Green MPs as a result. In the scenario of a hung parliament, the Greens are a party to which Labour would naturally look for support as part of the progressive bloc.
为了及时了解威斯敏斯特（英国议会所在地）以及更广泛政治领域的动态，……
And yet the Greens are also now a party whose actions this weekend have been condemned by the Labour chair, Bridget Phillipson, as "shameful" and "fundamentally wrong". Angela Rayner, the communities secretary, said the Zionism motion "crosses a line and is rightly being condemned across the political spectrum." Labour has long been divided on the question of electoral reform. Their leader now has a clear position in favour but the Green motion this weekend could have the unintended effect of bolstering opposition within Labour to that element of the prime minister's agenda.
