八点最热报 | 英国首相苏纳克昨天宣布，原定在明年1月届满的全国大选，将会提前在今年7月4号举行。然而苏纳克宣布提前大选的决定，被英国媒体形容为是一场“政治豪赌”，因为苏纳克所属的保守党，目前的民调落后在野的工党27%，不久前的英国地方选举，执政保守党才遭遇了“40年来最糟糕选情”，因此这一次工党被看好，可以在时隔14年后重新掌权。（主播：颜江瀚）

00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:04 The British current government's term will be completed next year.
00:09 However, British Prime Minister Sonak has now announced that the national election will be held ahead of schedule on July 4 this year.
00:15 In addition to listing his economic experience,
00:20 Sonak also emphasized that the chaos caused by the short-term term of former Prime Minister Truss has been settled.
00:25 He has restored the unexpected economic stability.
00:29 Sonak's announcement of the election ahead of schedule is described by British media as a "political gamble".
00:35 Because the Conservative Party, which Sonak belongs to, is 27% behind the Pro-Party, the pro-party.
00:42 Not long ago, the British local election was the worst election in 40 years.
00:48 So this time the pro-party is optimistic that it can regain power after 14 years.
00:53 Sonak emphasized in his speech that this election will be held at the most dangerous time in the world since the Cold War.
01:01 He mentioned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the extremism of the Middle East, China's search for the world's top in the field of technology,
01:09 and the hostile country's use of immigrants to disrupt the British border.
01:12 These will be a challenge to the UK.
01:15 Why is the Conservative Party still in a critical position and announcing the election when the polls are behind the Pro-Party?
01:22 Reuters quoted a British insider as saying,
01:26 "This may be because Sonak is aware that his government may not be able to implement some policies in the near future,
01:33 including the illegal plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, which faces legal challenges.
01:40 He may not be able to fulfill his promise to implement more tax cuts."
01:44 Another insider said, "The UK's economic situation may worsen in the near future, so it may be the best choice to hold the election early."
01:54 British Prime Minister Sonak announced yesterday that he had obtained the approval of the King of England Charles,
02:03 and that he would formally dissolve the Parliament next Thursday and hold the election early on July 4.
02:08 Earlier today, I spoke with His Majesty the King to request the dissolution of Parliament.
02:13 The King has granted this request, and we will have a general election on the 4th of July.
02:18 On the same day, the UK's inflation rate also successfully dropped to 2.3%,
02:24 which is the lowest level in the past three years.
02:27 Sonak's confidence in the Conservative Party's campaign on the day of the election
02:32 indicated that the British economy was out of the woods and their plan had succeeded.
02:37 As we learnt this morning, we have got inflation down from 11% to 2%.
02:42 We have delivered on my first priority to drive inflation back to normal.
02:47 The economy has turned a corner. Friends, our plan is working.
