Britain’s foreign-aid spending 蜜月期結束?英國的對外援助支出 Riding high in the polls and recently married, Boris Johnson must be feeling beloved. But one group that seems to be tiring of Britain’s prime minister is his own MPs. The government is facing a rebellion today over plans to cut foreign-aid spending by £4bn ($5.7bn). Committing to spend 0.7% of Britain’s GDP on aid helped the Conservative Party woo socially liberal voters. Scrapping it, having already binned the Department for International Development, signals Mr Johnson’s more nationalist pitch. Many Conservative MPs are not on board. Rebels span the ideological spectrum and include the former prime minister, Theresa May. They reckon that cutting the aid budget as Britain hosts the G7 runs counter to the government’s “Global Britain” rhetoric. A rebellious backbench culture propelled Mr Johnson to power after he joined hardline Brexiteers to bring down Mrs May’s premiership. It may now be returning to haunt him. 由於民調持續上揚與最近囍事臨門,英國首相強森 (Boris Johnson) 勢必感到倍受寵愛。不過其同黨的國會議員似乎成了強森心頭操煩的一群對象。強森政府今天將面臨他/她們對縮減 40億英鎊 (約 57億美元) 對外援助預算的反彈。由於其先前為了幫助保守黨拉攏自由派選民而曾承諾將英國 0.7%的國內生產總值 (GDP) 用於援外。但目前英國國際發展部 (Department for International Development) 已遭凍結,而如果 (更) 近一步的縮減預算將更凸顯強森民粹的調調。許多保守黨議員不願支持這項決定,而反彈勢力橫跨了整個政治/意識形態光譜,甚至包括了前英國首相梅伊 (Theresa May)。他/她們認為在英國即將主辦七大工業國 (G7) 峰會之際刪減援外預算有悖於政府期許自己身為「全球英國 (Global Britain)」的論調。在強森 (於 2016年) 宣佈加入硬脫歐陣營後,長期以來 (同黨) 新科後排議員的杯葛傳統一舉將前首相梅伊拉下台並使強森登上了首相寶座。但現在這樣的傳統卻可能反過來困擾著他。 ⚜️Daily takeaway⚜️ 每日單字精選 ✅Beloved (adj.): 被愛的、心愛的 (形) ✅Rebellion (n.): 叛亂、謀反、暴動 (名) ✅Foreign-aid (n.): 對外援助 (名) ✅Scrape (v.): 刮掉、摩擦掉 (動) ✅On board (adj.): 在船/機上、登船/機的 (形) ✅Ideological spectrum (n.): 意識形態光譜 (名) ✅Rhetoric (n.): 修辭、花言巧語 (名) ✅Haunt (v.): 作祟、纏著、困擾著 (動) — ✔︎ 按讚【每日一經濟學人】Facebook 粉專:https://reurl.cc/Lddode ✔︎ 追蹤【每日一經濟學人】Instagram 帳號:https://reurl.cc/Oqqoq3 ✔︎ 訂閱【每日一經濟學人】YouTube 頻道:https://reurl.cc/Y665dX ✔︎ 閱讀【每日一經濟學人】Medium 平台:https://reurl.cc/k00WZr — 🔶如有商業合作或業務需求,請洽:[email protected] 🔴如影音內容有誤,歡迎來信勘誤:[email protected] -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
