2019~2020年英国政党政治形势

Abstract:Many significant shifts in British party politics happened during 2019～2020. Boris Johnson successfully launched a general election in which the Conservative Party won a majority. The result paved the way for breaking the deadlock in the Brexit negotiations and pushing Brexit into the next stage. The COVID-19 outbreak has posed new challenges to the Conservative government，which has been widely criticized for its inadequate response to the crisis. The Labour party has lost again in the general election. With Jeremy Corbyn stepping down，the new leader，Keir Starmer，will need to analyse the lessons of his party’s defeat，as well as explore the party’s future policy，identity，ideology and electoral strategy. Under the dual impact of Brexit and COVID-19，separatism and populism have been on the rise in various parts of the UK. Risks and uncertainties in social economy，domestic affairs and foreign affairs have been intensified. All political parties in the UK are faced with complex and enduring tests and challenges.
