英国共识政治述评

The Review of British Consensus Politics

在战后英国政治发展中 ,英国两大政党保守党和工党形成过两次共识 ,即社会民主主义共识和新自由主义共识。两党共识政治的主要特征是政策的共性与差异性并存 ,其中 ,差异不是根本性的 ,共性是共识政治的主要方面。两党共识的根源在于对某一共同的政治框架的接受 ,两党差异的根源在于政党性质、传统的不同及出于对执政未来的考虑。

In the development of British politics, labor party and conservative party have constructed two consensus, the characteristics of consensus is manifested in similarity and difference of policy. In consensus, similarity is fundamental and difference is not the main aspect. Underlying sources of similarity resides in two parties' acceptance of common political agenda,underlying sources of difference of policy can be found in the respective nature of parties due to tradition and different ideas of government.
