工党执行的全国执行委员会列明了其与绿党切断联系的地点。据伊万·萨默维尔、凯特·惠内尔、哈里·法利报道，工党已退出与绿党在11个地方议会的权力分享协议，此前全国性政党采纳了一项将犹太复国主义定义为一种种族主义的政策。
Labour's ruling National Executive Committee sets out where it is cutting ties with the Greens. By Ewan Somerville, Kate Whannel, Harry Farley The Labour Party has pulled out of power-sharing agreements with the Green Party in 11 local councils, after the national party adopted a policy defining Zionism as a form of racism.
工党议员现在将不再与绿党在包括谢菲尔德、沃里克和刘易斯在内的地区组成联合政府。
Labour councillors will now no longer be in coalition with the Greens in areas including Sheffield, Warwick and Lewes.
工党主席布里奇特·菲利普森表示：“工党从一开始就很明确，‘犹太复国主义即种族主义’这一政策越过了底线，我们无法与任何支持该政策的政党合作——无论在哪一级政府。”绿党已被联系以置评。
Labour Party chair Bridget Phillipson said: "Labour has been clear from the start that the "Zionism is Racism" policy crosses a line and we cannot work with any party that supports it – at any level of government." The Green Party has been contacted for a comment.
10月，绿党成员支持一项名为“犹太复国主义即种族主义”的动议，该动议称犹太复国主义是一种支持在历史巴勒斯坦建立“犹太民族国家”的意识形态。它还支持一个“单一的民主巴勒斯坦国”，包括现代以色列。
In October, Green Party members backed a motion, entitled "Zionism is racism", which said Zionism was an ideology that supported an "ethnonationalist Jewish State in historic Palestine". It also backed a "single democratic Palestinian State", including in modern-day Israel.
该动议在得到党员支持后成为绿党政策，但这导致党内高层人士严重分裂。犹太团体和反对党政党对此予以谴责。
Having been backed by party members, the motion became Green Party policy, but it has left senior figures bitterly divided. Jewish groups and opposition political parties have condemned it.
首相安迪·伯纳姆10月告诉议员，工党不会就这一“反犹太主义”政策与绿党合作。
Prime Minister Andy Burnham told MPs in October that Labour would not partner with the Greens over the "antisemitic" policy.
随后，工党总部向工党-绿党议会发出最后通牒，要求当地绿党放弃成员在全国党代会上通过的动议。绿党团体还被要求敦促其“全国领导层”重新考虑该政策。
Labour then issued an ultimatum from Labour's head office to Labour-Green councils, demanding that local Greens disown the motion passed by members at their national party conference. Green groups were also asked to call on their party's "national leadership" to reconsider the policy.
工党表示，在18个地方政府中存在地方协议。其中，工党表示有11个未达到其要求的标准。这些地区是：阿伦区议会、德比郡戴尔斯区议会、哈文特自治市议会、刘易斯区议会、拉尼米德自治市议会（工党称地方合作此前已停止）、谢菲尔德市议会、斯塔福德自治市议会、沃里克区议会、威尔登区议会、西德文自治市议会、西萨福克议会。
Labour said there were local agreements in place in 18 authorities. Of those, Labour said 11 had not met the criteria they demanded. The areas are: Arun District Council Derbyshire Dales District Council Havant Borough Council Lewes District Council Runnymede Borough Council (Labour says local co-operation had already ceased) Sheffield City Council Stafford Borough Council Warwick District Council Wealden District Council West Devon Borough Council West Suffolk Council Labour said its conditions had been met in Broadland, Monmouthshire, North Somerset, Rother, West Oxfordshire and West Sussex.
工党表示，其条件在布罗德兰、蒙茅斯郡、北萨默塞特、罗瑟、西牛津郡和西萨塞克斯已得到满足。该党表示，考文垂市议会没有正式安排，未来也不会达成此类协议。
The party said that Coventry City Council does not have a formal arrangement in place and that no such deal will be made in the future.
绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基表示，该动议“不完美”，但为其核心前提辩护，认为以色列对巴勒斯坦人民的行动“明显植根于种族主义意识形态”。
Green Party leader Zack Polanski has said the motion was "imperfect" but has defended its central premise, arguing that Israel's actions towards the Palestinian people are "clearly underpinned by racist ideology".
地方层面合作的崩溃可能通过预算和政策决策通过时间延长，影响数十万居民。
The collapse of co-operation at the local level could impact hundreds of thousands of residents through budgets and policy decisions taking longer to get voted through.
