鮑里斯•約翰遜可能當不了英國首相了，但新人選也麻煩

THE Tory leadership race has taken an unexpected turn as Boris Johnson has been overtaken by one of his rivals, despite being labelled as the early contender to be the next Prime Minister.

保守黨領袖競選劇情意外反轉，鮑里斯·約翰遜被一個對手打敗，儘管都認爲他會成爲下一任首相的早期競爭者。

Following Theresa May’s resignation announcement, the former Foreign Secretary was the instant favourite to replace her as next the Prime Minister.

特雷莎·梅一宣佈辭職，這位前任外交部長立刻成爲了代替她就任下一任首相的最熱門人選。

According to The Daily Mail, Environment Secretary Michael Gove has now edged ahead of Mr Johnson despite criticism from some within his party over his no deal Brexit stance.

據《每日郵報》報道，環境大臣邁克爾·戈夫（Michael Gove）現在領先於約翰遜，但黨內也有些人士批評他的無協議脫歐立場。

Mr Gove has now received the support of 26 MPs despite not publicly outlining his Brexit strategy.

雖然還未公開宣佈他的脫歐策略，但現在有26位下院議員支持戈夫。

One campaign source said: “Michael is ready to deliver Brexit at the earliest possible opportunity.

一位競選的知情人士透露：“邁克爾準備儘早實現脫歐。”

“Simply trying to go for a No Deal before the UK is properly prepared will lead to a general election with Jeremy Corbyn in Downing Street and risks Brexit being cancelled altogether.

“在英國未做好萬全準備之前就爭取無協議脫歐將導致和傑里米·科爾賓（現任工黨領袖）在唐寧街進行競選，脫歐就有徹底取消的風險。”

“It’s not enough to believe in Brexit – you’ve got to be able to deliver it.”

“只相信脫歐還不夠，你要促成才行。”

Mr Gove received criticism for his caution over a no deal Brexit namely from Brexiteers, Priti Patel and Iain Duncan Smith.

戈夫因無協議脫歐的警告受到指責，指責他的有脫歐人士、Priti Patel和伊恩·鄧肯·史密斯（英國就業與養老金事務大臣）。

According to reports, Mr Gove has already started to gather a collection of high profile supporters such as Nicky Morgan and Amber Rudd.

據報道戈夫已經開始招攬高調支持他的人，如尼基·摩根和Amber Rudd。

Ms Morgan praised the leadership contender saying: “I think that Michael – based on his Cabinet experience and the fact that he led the Vote Leave campaign – is ready to lead and to bring some reality to this debate but also to deliver on Brexit, which is what we need to see happen.”

摩根稱讚這位領袖競選者說：“邁克爾有內閣經歷還領導了脫歐公投，我認爲邁克爾準備好要領導這個國家切實解決脫歐爭議，他也能實現脫歐，這是我們需要看到的。”
