1832年英国议会改革期间辉格党的贵族主义叙事

On Whig’s Aristocratic Narrative during[STHZ]1832[STBZ]Parliamentary Reform

1832年议会改革是英国政治进入民主时代的转折点。主导这次改革的辉格党的政治态度是贵族主义在自由主义大行其道之前的最后呈现。辉格党大贵族坚定地推动势在必行的议会改革,以贵族责任感关注民众疾苦,认为政治具有远远超过商业、财经、管理等技术性事务的重要地位,从而以完全不同于自由主义的政治风格创造了有利于自由主义发展的政治和社会环境。辉格党贵族的努力使英国避免了暴力革命,此后的社会发展以和平而渐进的方式进行,同时这种风格使英国政治和经济带有独特的保守审慎色彩。

1832 Parliamentary Reform was the turning point for England in the era of the modern democracy.During this time the political attitude of the Whig Party,who was in power and firmly led the reform,was the last brilliant exhibition of aristocratism.The Whig showed solicitude for the people’s suffering,regarded political arrangement far more important than other technical affairs such as commerce,finance and administration.Thus by a political style completely different from liberalism,they created political and social environment conducive to development of liberalism in England.Owning to the effort of the whiggish aristocrats,revolution was avoided in England,and the social development thereafter was peaceful and gradually.This kind of political attitude also made the English political and economical approach quite conservative and prudent.
