保守党领袖还承诺，将把企业雇佣21至24岁年轻人的国民保险缴费率减半，从而降低相关用工成本。
The Conservative Party leader also pledged to cut the cost of hiring 21 to 24 year olds.
据理查德·惠勒与克里斯·梅森报道，凯米·巴adenoch表示，如果下届大选没有政党获得绝对多数席位，她宁愿再举行一次大选，也不愿与“改革英国党”结盟以获取执政权。
By Richard Wheeler, Chris Mason Kemi Badenoch has said she would rather have another general election than do a deal with Reform UK to secure power, if no party wins the next election.
这位保守党领袖对BBC指出，奈杰尔·法拉奇领导的“改革英国党”“深陷各种丑闻之中”，若与其联手只会“麻烦接踵而至”。
The Conservative Party leader told the BBC that Nigel Farage's Reform are "neck deep in scandal" and joining forces with them would "just be one problem after another".
民调显示，下届大选后很可能出现悬浮议会：目前预计工党将成为最大政党，紧随其后的是“改革英国党”与保守党。
Polling suggests there would be a hung parliament at the next election, with Labour currently expected to be the largest party followed by Reform and the Tories.
在伯明翰举行的保守党大会即将闭幕之际，巴adenoch还承诺将把企业雇佣21至24岁年轻人的国民保险缴费率减半，从而降低相关用工成本。
As the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham nears its end, Badenoch has also pledged to cut the cost of hiring 21 to 24-year-olds by halving the rate of employer national insurance (NI) contributions.
巴adenoch一直试图将保守党塑造成一个有别于2024年大选中遭遇历史性惨败的政党。在发布了长达100页、阐述党纲原则的《正确的道路》文件后，她对BBC政治编辑克里斯·梅森说道：“我们将回归民众所熟知且喜爱的那个真正的保守党。”
Badenoch has been trying to position the Conservatives as a party that is different to the one that suffered an historic defeat in the 2024 general election. She told BBC Political Editor Chris Mason "we are going back to the authentic Conservative Party, that people knew and loved" after she published a 100-page document, called The Right Way, setting out the party's principles.
巴adenoch还称“政局变幻莫测”，尽管民调显示仅有五分之一的选民会支持保守党，她仍试图提振该党的胜选前景。她说道：“如今我们身处一个全新的政治环境，正是在这种背景下我们确信自己能够胜出。不过我并非断言我们一定会赢。”
Badenoch added "politics is volatile", as she tried to talk up the party's chances despite the polls suggesting only one-in-five voters would back them. She said: "We're in a different political world, and it is within that context that we know that we can win. I'm not saying that we would win.
“目前的民调显示会出现悬浮议会，没有任何政党能获得绝对多数席位。我预计随后会立即举行新一轮大选。但我们是工党唯一可信的替代选择，是唯一拥有完整施政计划的政党。”有人向巴adenoch设想了这样一种情形：下届大选后保守党成为最大政党，而“改革英国党”在悬浮议会中也占据重要席位。
"The current polling shows a hung parliament, no party getting an overall majority. "My prediction is that there would be another election immediately after. But we're the only credible alternative to Labour, the only ones with a plan." A scenario was put to Badenoch in which the Conservatives would be the largest party and Reform have a significant presence in a hung parliament after the next election.
当被问及她是否愿意与政府改革合作时，巴德诺克回答说：“如果你想要保守党，你就必须投票给保守党。我说过，如果没有绝对多数，我们将举行另一次选举。巴德诺克补充说，她希望改革派选民“回到”保守党，并表示法拉奇党内的人“深陷丑闻，这只会成为一个又一个的问题”。
Asked if she would work with Reform in government, Badenoch replied: "If you want Conservative, you have to vote Conservative. I have said we'd have another election if there was no overall majority." Badenoch added she wants Reform voters to "come back" to the Conservatives, saying people in Farage's party are "neck deep in scandal, it'd just be one problem after another".
她指出了丹·托马斯（Dan Thomas）的被捕，丹·托马斯（Dan Thomas）因涉嫌袭击、控制或胁迫行为被捕，上个月辞去了威尔士改革党领导人的职务。托马斯说他“没有做错任何事”。
She pointed to the arrest of Dan Thomas, who quit last month as Reform's leader in Wales after he was arrested on suspicion of assault and controlling or coercive behaviour. Thomas said he had "done nothing wrong".
巴德诺克还强调了威尔士前改革领导人内森·吉尔的案件，他因承认在亲俄采访和演讲中收受贿赂而被判处10年半监禁。
Badenoch also highlighted the case of Nathan Gill, the former leader of Reform in Wales who was sentenced to 10-and-a-half years in prison after admitting taking bribes for pro-Russia interviews and speeches.
法拉奇因获得的财务支持而面临严格审查，包括他在成为议员之前从一位亿万富翁改革捐助者那里收到的500万英镑礼物。他坚称自己没有做错任何事。
Farage has faced intense scrutiny over financial support he has received, including a £5m gift he received from a billionaire Reform donor before he became an MP. He has insisted he has done nothing wrong.
巴德诺克补充道：“我想让经济增长，我想让国家变得更富有，我想阻止船只，我们有一个边境计划，我们有一个福利计划，我们有一个国防计划和降低能源成本的计划。“这就是我们的目的。"
Badenoch added: "I want to get this economy growing, I want to make the country richer, I want to stop the boats, we've got a plan on borders, we've got a plan on welfare, we've got a plan on defence and bringing energy costs down. "That's what we're about."
保守党资深人士私下谈到了他们认为支持保守党和支持英国改革的潜在“临界点”的重要性。
Privately, senior Conservatives talk of what they see as the importance of a potential 'tipping point' in support for the Conservatives and support for Reform UK.
保守党希望，如果他们能够在民意调查中扳平比分，然后稍微领先改革党，他们就可以开始证明，他们是工党赢得下一次大选的唯一可行的替代方案，从而有可能吸引更多支持。
Tories hope that if they can draw level and then establish a small lead over Reform in opinion polls, they can begin to make the case that they are the only viable alternative to Labour winning the next general election, potentially then attracting more support.
巴德诺克长期以来一直表示，她不会在选举前与改革党达成协议，因为它是一个试图摧毁保守党的政党。
Badenoch has long said she wouldn't do a deal with Reform before the election, as it was a party trying to destroy the Conservatives.
总理安迪·伯纳姆上个月表示，他不想提前举行大选，认为这将使“国家陷入一个向后看的过程”。下一次必须在2029年8月之前举行。
Prime Minister Andy Burnham said last month he was not tempted to call an early general election, arguing it would throw "the country into a backward-looking process". The next one must be held by August 2029.
法拉奇此前曾表示，改革已经“取代了陈旧、古板的现有保守党”。
Farage has previously said Reform have "replaced the old fuddy-duddy existing Conservative Party".
巴德诺克在BBC采访中表示，她正在改变针对年轻人的政策，现在提议将21至24岁人群的雇主国民保险（NI）收入比例从15%降至7.5%。
Elsewhere in her BBC interview, Badenoch said she was making changes to a policy for young people and was now proposing cutting the rate of employer National Insurance (NI) on earnings from 15% to 7.5% for those aged 21 to 24.
保守党去年宣布，年轻人将看到他们在第一份工作中支付的前5，000英镑NI被重新转入他们选择的指定储蓄账户。
The Tories announced last year that young people would see the first £5,000 of NI they would have paid in their first job redirected into a nominated savings account of their choice.
该党表示，这项被称为“第一份工作奖金”的政策每年将花费28亿英镑。
The party said the policy, dubbed the "First Job Bonus", would have cost £2.8bn a year.
周二，巴德诺克表示，年轻人失业人数“飙升”，“如果人们没有找到第一份工作，你就不能给他们第一份工作奖金”。
On Tuesday, Badenoch said youth unemployed has "skyrocketed" and "you can't give people a first jobs bonus if they're not getting a first job".
她补充道：“我们正在调整和更新我们的政策，以便解决他们今天面临的问题。“保守党表示，新政策针对的是入门工作，标准税率将适用于收入超过50，270英镑。
She added: "We're adapting and updating our policy so that it works for the problems they have today." The Conservatives said the new policy is targeted at starter jobs and the standard rate would apply to earnings above £50,270.
他们补充说，当工人年满21岁时，雇主NI的税率从0%提高到全额，它“拉平了悬崖边缘”。
They added it "smooths the cliff edge" which exists as employer NI goes from 0% to the full rate when a worker turns 21.
政府面临着减少雇主对年轻工人的NI缴款以帮助增加就业机会的呼声。英国约有一百万年轻人没有接受教育、就业或培训。
The government has faced calls to reduce employer NI contributions for younger workers to help boost job opportunities. Around one million young people in the UK are not in education, employment or training.
当被问及为什么保守党不提议为所有人削减NI时，巴德诺克说：“我们必须首先找到资金。
Asked why the Conservatives were not proposing to cut NI for everyone, Badenoch said: "We have to find the money first.
“所以我们有一条黄金经济规则。我们在财务上是可信的。我们找到储蓄，然后花掉它。
"So we have a golden economic rule. We are being fiscally credible. We find savings and then we spend it.
“如果我能为每个人削减开支，我向你保证我会的。但年轻人的问题比其他人严重得多。“跟上威斯敏斯特及其他地区的内部运作。
"If I could afford to cut it for everybody, I promise you that I would. But young people have a much worse problem than everybody else." to keep up with the inner workings of Westminster and beyond.
