Question for the government of Ireland: Do you really want your country to be known as an offshore tax haven?

Just wondering.

For Mr. Cameron, with elections coming in 2015, that means heading off a challenge from the hard-right, anti-Europe U.K. Independence Party, known as UKIP, while shoring up support for his government, which recently admitted that its unpopular austerity program would have to be extended to 2018, analysts said. He is also anxious to avoid the sort of ruinous intraparty split over Europe that bedeviled the prime ministerships of two of his Conservative predecessors, Margaret Thatcher and John Major.
分析人士说,对卡梅伦来说,大选将于2015年举行,这意味着他需要避开来自于极右翼、反泛欧主义的英国独立党(U.K. Independence Party,缩写UKIP)的挑战,同时为他的政府争取更多支持。最近,卡梅伦政府承认,不受欢迎的紧缩计划将要延长到2018年。卡梅伦同时也急于避免就欧洲问题在党内产生毁灭性的纷争,这种纷争曾大大困扰了他的两位保守党前任玛格丽特·撒切尔(Margaret Thatcher)以及约翰·梅杰(John Major)。

Prime Minister David Cameron and his increasingly jittery coalition government have made deficit and debt reduction a defining priority. In December, his powerful chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, warned that an austerity program that had already resulted in the elimination of tens of thousands public-sector jobs would have to be extended for a year longer than planned, to 2018. But that same austerity program has contributed to long-term economic malaise.
