一名保守党议员称，党的气氛虽有所改善，但这种乐观“被过度渲染了”，该党在民调中仍远远位居第三。几乎所有党内人士都认同，即将举行的保守党大会的气氛将明显比去年更加乐观，党内也更加团结。与此同时，他们也普遍认为党魁凯米·巴德诺克表现良好。然而，这并不是全部情况。
The mood is better but ‘overhyped’, says one Conservative MP as party remains a distant third in polls The forthcoming Conservative conference will be, almost everyone in the party agrees, notably more upbeat and unified than last year. There is a similar consensus that Kemi Badenoch is doing well as party leader. That is, however, not the whole story.
“气氛确实更好了，但现实仍然很糟糕，”一名保守党议员说，“我们在民调中仍远远位居第三。如果明天举行大选，我们会输，而且会输得很惨。这意味着，目前的气氛被过度渲染了。”
“The mood is better but the facts are still very poor,” one Conservative MP said. “We are still a distant third in the polls, and if there was an election tomorrow we would lose, and badly. That means the mood is overhyped.”
