Burnham urges party to listen and take stock after historic Labour defeat The prime minister will pledge to "do things differently" at the Welsh Labour conference on Saturday. By David Deans The prime minister will urge Welsh Labour to "listen" and "take stock" following the party's historic defeat in May's Senedd elections.
首相安迪·伯纳姆将在康威郡兰迪德诺举行的威尔士工党大会上发表讲话,呼吁其所在政党“换一种做事方式”,此前即将发布一份关于五月选举失利原因的评估报告。
At a speech at Welsh Labour conference in Llandudno, Conwy, Andy Burnham will call on his party to "do things differently", ahead of the publication of a review into what went wrong in May.
威尔士工党领袖肯·斯凯茨表示,调查结果“令人难以接受”,选民感觉他们的支持被“视为理所当然”。
Welsh Labour leader Ken Skates said the findings were "difficult" and voters felt their support had been taken "for granted".
工党主导威尔士政坛已有一个世纪,直到此次威尔士议会选举前,自权力下放伊始便一直执掌威尔士政府。
Labour had dominated Welsh politics for a century, and until the Senedd election had run the Welsh government since the start of devolution.
此次投票使威尔士党首次成为最大党,从而让伦·阿普·约沃斯成为首席部长。
The vote made Plaid Cymru the largest party for the first time, allowing Rhun ap Iorwerth to become first minister.
伯纳姆在选举时并非首相,预计他在威尔士会议中心向党员发表讲话时,将承认此次惨败的严重性。
Burnham, who was not prime minister at the time, is expected to acknowledge the scale of the defeat when he addresses party members at Venue Cymru.
这位曼彻斯特前市长将表示:“我们必须倾听。我们必须反省。并且我们必须承诺换一种做事方式。
The former mayor of Manchester will say: "We have to listen. We have to take stock. And we have to commit to doing things differently.
“但我们必须做得更多。因为,说实话,政客们总是说他们会多听取意见。
"But we have to go further than that too. Because, let's be honest, politicians have always said they'll listen more.
“这一次,我们必须做的不仅仅是谈论给予民众发声权。我们必须给予他们真正的权力,掌控塑造其生活的决策。” 预计伯纳姆将重申他对向威尔士地方社区下放更多权力的呼吁,他上次提出这一呼吁是在十月于格拉斯哥与约沃斯会晤时。
"This time, we've got to do more than talk about giving people a voice. We've got to give them real power over the decisions that shape their lives." Burnham is expected to repeat his calls for more powers to be devolved to local communities in Wales, last made when he met ap Iorwerth in Glasgow in October.
根据由威斯敏斯特制定的管辖威尔士议会的规则,地方政府权力掌握在卡迪夫湾手中。
Under the rules that govern the Senedd, set by Westminster, local government powers rest with Cardiff Bay.
伯纳姆将表示,向威尔士议会下放权力是“巨大的进步”,但“从来不仅仅是将权力从威斯敏斯特转移到卡迪夫”。
Burnham will say devolution to the Senedd was a "huge step forward" but was "never just about moving power from Westminster to Cardiff".
“我们一直应该继续将权力向下、向外下放,直到触达每一个邮政编码区域。”
"We were always supposed to keep pushing power down and out until it reached every postcode.
“我认为,这正是我们今天面临的挑战……要确保威尔士工党不仅是建立了权力下放的政党,更是再次推动权力下放向前发展的政党。”民调公司 Public First 的安南德·梅农教授将于周六在会议上提交他对该党选举失利的复盘报告。
"I think that's the challenge for us today... to make sure Welsh Labour is not just the party that built devolution, but the party that takes it forward once again." Prof Anand Menon from polling company Public First will present his review into the party's election defeat at the conference on Saturday.
在复盘报告发布前,斯凯茨表示:“其结论令人难以接受,我们对此高度重视。民众感觉我们不再倾听,公共服务改善不够快,且我们把他们的支持视为理所当然。
Ahead of the review, Skates said: "Its findings are difficult, and we take them seriously. People felt that we had stopped listening, public services were not improving quickly enough and we had taken their support for granted.
“我们的任务是重新赢得信任。我们将认真倾听,为威尔士制定明确的政策主张,并通过行动证明我们已吸取教训。”斯凯茨说,威尔士议会选举“是威尔士工党的一个关键转折点。结果对该党来说是灾难性的,这显而易见。
"Our task is to earn trust again. We will listen carefully, develop a clear offer for Wales and demonstrate through our actions that we have learned." Skates said the Senedd elections "were a pivotal point for Welsh Labour. The results were catastrophic for the party, that was clear for all to see.
“但我们失利的原因,且不止一种,需要冷静客观的评估。”斯凯茨是弗林特雷克瑟姆选区的威尔士议会议员 (MS),在五月的威尔士议会选举后于七月获任命为威尔士工党领袖。
"But the reasons for our losses, and there were a multitude of reasons, needed a dispassionate assessment." Skates is the Member of the Senedd (MS) for Fflint Wrecsam and was appointed Welsh Labour's leader in July following May's Senedd election.
