UK: Indian-origin Rishi Sunak 4th in Conservative poll

印度裔里希·苏纳克在英国保守党民调中排名第四

LONDON: Indian-origin Rishi Sunak was pushed to fourth place as Conservative top choice to succeed Boris Johnson as UK PM in a poll of party members that gave wild card candidate Kemi Badenoch the lead. It could be a setback for former Treasury chief Sunak, the frontrunner among Conservative lawmakers.

伦敦：作为接替鲍里斯·约翰逊担任英国首相的保守党首选人选，印度裔里希·苏纳克在一项针对保守党成员的民调中被推至第四位，外卡候选人卡米·巴迪诺克领先。对于在保守党议员中处于领先地位的前财政部长苏纳克来说，这可能是一个挫折。

The Conservative Home poll of 851 Tory party members, published Saturday, gave Badenoch an 11-point lead with 31% of members saying she should be the next leader of the Conservative Party. Foreign secretary Liz Truss beat junior trade minister Penny Mordaunt to second place at 20%. Mordaunt was third at 18% and Sunak was fourth at 17%, nine votes behind Mordaunt, while Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Tom Tugendhat was in fifth place.

上周六对851名保守党成员进行的民意调查显示，巴迪诺克领先11个百分点，有31%的成员表示她应该成为保守党的下一任领导人。外交大臣利兹·特拉斯击败初级贸易部长佩妮·莫当特，以20%的支持率位居第二。莫当特以18%的得票率排在第三，苏纳克以17%的得票率排在第四，落后莫当特9票，外交事务委员会主席汤姆·图根哈特排在第五。

This puts the view of the Tory grassroots at loggerheads with a large chunk of Conservative MPs for whom Sunak is the clear frontrunner. In the parliamentary ballots currently taking place, Sunak secured the backing of 101 MPs in the second ballot and 88 votes in the first ballot, coming top in both. The third ballot will take place on Monday.

这使得保守党基层的观点与大部分保守党议员产生了分歧，对他们来说，苏纳克是明显的领跑者。在目前正在进行的议会投票中，苏纳克在第二轮投票中获得了101名议员的支持，在第一轮投票中获得了88名议员的支持，在两轮投票中都位居榜首。第三轮投票将于周一进行。

It is the party members who get to make the final decision on their next leader and the future PM once Tory MPs have whittled down the candidates to the final two. There are now question marks as to how popular Sunak is with Conservative members who seem to have taken a shine to Badenoch after a Channel 4 debate on Friday.

一旦保守党议员将候选人缩减到最后两位，保守党成员将对他们的下一任领导人和未来的首相做出最终决定。在周五第4频道的辩论后，保守派成员似乎对巴迪诺克产生了好感，现在关于苏纳克在他们中间有多受欢迎已经打上了问号。

The 41-year-old former equalities minister Badenoch was born in London to Nigerian parents and spent her youth living in Lagos and the USA. She resigned as equalities minister alongside dozens of others in the week Johnson stood down.

巴迪诺克现年41岁，曾任平等部长，出生于伦敦，父母是尼日利亚人，年轻时曾在拉各斯和美国生活。在约翰逊辞职的那一周，和其他几十人一道，她辞去了平等大臣的职务。

All the news channels in India have already anointed Sunak as the next PM if UK . This ingoism will fall flat as white voters will not allow an Indian origin person to be PM. Case of " waqt se pahle khushian". Counting chickens before they are hatched.

印度所有的新闻频道都已经指定苏纳克为英国下一任首相了。他不会成功的，白人选民不会允许印度裔担任英国首相的。鸡还没孵出来就开始数了。

Timir Ghosh

Basheer Khan; We never saw a dumb like you. It was not a ballot poll, just opinion poll. In all previous opinion poll Sunak was never winner. But in both Ballot Poll he is winner. Don't be fooled so easily like any other dumb Muslim guy, to believe that in Jannat you get 72 Hoors to molest, kiss and do other things as narrated by your Beared Mullahs. The same mullas are found torture young madrassa girl before camera like a male sex worker..

从没见过你这么笨的人。这不是投票，只是民调。在此前所有的民调中，苏纳克从未胜出。但在近两次民调中，他都是赢家。

白人心态，他们怎么会允许一个有印度血统的人担任他们的最高职位，他们曾经掠夺过印度。

Sunak will be at bottom in another vote which is expected. It is too much hype and nothing else.

苏纳克将在下一次民调中垫底，这是意料之中的。过分炒作，仅此而已。

Unlikely that rank and file Whites will ever allow an Indian to lead the country. This was a given. Sunak will not win.

白人不太可能允许一个印度人领导这个国家，这是理所当然的。苏纳克不会赢的。

If Indians can deny the top post to foreign origin person, Britishers have the same right to deny Sunak. It's as simple as that.

如果印度人可以拒绝外籍人士担任最高职位，英国人也有同样的权利拒绝苏纳克。就这么简单。
