一分鐘知天下事:英國5月將大選

英國5月 7日即將舉行大選，改選下議院全部的席次。這次大選，英國是不是可能變天，攸關英國是不是會退出歐盟。
英國日前舉行選前首度電視辯論，參與的主要政黨領導人多達7人，但真正有機會成為下一任首相的，恐怕還是只有現任首相、保守黨領袖卡麥隆（David Cameron），以及工黨領導人米勒班（Ed Miliband）。而卡麥隆已經承諾，如果他繼續擔任首相，將舉行退出歐盟公投。

A lower house election is slated for May 7 in the UK. The election results play an important role in whether this country will withdraw from the EU. The first televised debate for the election was held the other day. As many as seven major political party leaders participated; however, those who stand a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister may be incumbent Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader David Cameron as well as Labor Party leader Ed Miliband. Cameron has promised to hold a referendum on this issue if reelected.
