大选的结果很可能是产生一个扯皮议会，没有一个政党获得显著多数，就像20世纪70年代那样，对英国的深层次问题碌碌无为，难怪国际货币市场的反应，同20世纪70年代中期如出一辙。
Little wonder, then, that currency markets are treating the likely outcome in Britain – a hung parliament, with no clear majority for any party – as a repeat of the mid-1970’s, with no clear solution to the country’s underlying economic problems on offer.
