托尼·布莱尔的前发言人表示，针对英国议员的袭击并未带来持久的文化变革，过热的言辞很快又回到了政治中。托尼·布莱尔的前传播主管阿拉斯泰尔·坎贝尔表示，在议员遭到袭击后，英国政治体系过快回归过热的言辞和两极分化，他敦促政界人士“重新赢得民主政治的论证”。
Tony Blair’s former spokesperson says attacks on UK MPs did not bring about lasting cultural change and overheated rhetoric quickly returned to politics Tony Blair’s former communications guru, Alastair Campbell, says the UK political system was too quick to revert to overheated rhetoric and polarisation after attacks on MPs, urging politicians to “re-win the argument for democratic politics”.
独立议员海伦·海恩斯据称在维多利亚州北部其选区办公室外遭到袭击，导致她失去双腿，事发已超过一周。坎贝尔表示，澳大利亚政治辩论的基调应更好地体现海恩斯本人的行事方式。
More than a week after independent MP Helen Haines was allegedly targeted in an attack outside her electorate office in northern Victoria, causing her to lose both legs, Campbell said the tenor of political debate in Australia should better reflect Haines’ own approach.
