10月14日(周一)中午,93岁的英国女王伊丽莎白二世抵达英国下议院,面对群臣百官发表致辞,仪式庄严而隆重~ 这是女王第65次发表议会演说。她端坐于御座,声音洪亮、吐字清晰地宣读政府未来的立法议程...

她在演讲伊始就表示,政府的首要任务“一直是确保英国在10月31日脱离欧盟”。

伊丽莎白二世指出,政府希望在自由贸易的基础上与欧盟建立新的伙伴关系,将出台全新的渔业与农业制度和结束自由流动的移民法案。

在短暂的“清单式”演讲的末尾,伊丽莎白二世再次提到脱欧称:“随着英国脱离欧盟,政府将确保我国继续在全球事务中发挥主导作用,捍卫其利益并促进其价值观;我国政府将处于解决最复杂的国际安全问题的前列位置;它还将倡导全球自由贸易,并与国际伙伴一起解决最紧迫的全球挑战。”

在女王演讲后,下议院将就演讲内容进行辩论,议员们需对演讲进行投票。



据英国广播公司(BBC)介绍,在女王今日提出的26项主张中,7项与英国“脱欧”有关,包括为渔业、农业、商业和金融服务业建立新的监管措施等;7项与刑事司法有关,主要涉及罪犯服刑、警察保护、家庭暴力立法等方面;1项与环境改善相关,旨在“将原则写入法律”,并设定具有法律约束力的“改善目标”;1项与动物福利相关。此外,女王还在医疗卫生服务、离婚法、就业法等方面提出要求。


据英国媒体此前报道,女王演讲的文稿由政府官员撰写,今年会把“脱欧”议题作为演讲的主要内容。在女王演讲之后,议会下院将就演讲内容进行辩论,首相也将进一步阐述政府对国家治理的计划。报道还称,英国首相约翰逊希望通过女王演讲,进一步弥合议会各党派之间的分歧,为他提出的新版“脱欧”方案“拉票”。

英国或将开启现代政治史上最重要一周


英国议会通常在每年5、6月份开幕并举行国王演讲。2017年以来的两年多时间里,英国议会没有关闭过,因此也就没有开幕仪式和女王演讲。    但今年9月,新任首相约翰逊为推行其脱欧计划,强行关闭了议会。女王这次“御座演讲”算是被动而为。    被暂停了政治权利的议员们,也思谋着在议会复会后给约翰逊点颜色看看。这就决定了,女王“御座演讲”后的例行辩论,将比以往更真实、更激烈。决定英国脱欧的终极战将就此打响。英国或将迎来现代政治史上最重要的一周。    议会开幕大典原来很庄严    正常年份里的英国议会开幕仪式,本来是很庄严的。    通常程序是,女王乘坐皇家马车由白金汉宫赶赴议会,换上皇家礼袍,戴上帝国皇冠。拿着内阁准备好的“御座演讲稿”准备开讲。    自1642年以来,英国国王只在上议院演讲,不会去下议院。但上议院的议员们并没有相应的政治权利,真正主事的是下议院的议员。国王不去下议院,就只能派黑杖礼仪官拿着黑檀木仪杖去下议院叫人。    叫人也有仪式。黑杖礼仪官到达下议院时,下议院议事厅的大门必须关闭。意思是国王无权干涉下议院。礼仪官需要用黑杖敲三下门,大门才会打开,宣诏下议院议员们去上议院。    9月份通知下议院关门时,也基本是这套仪式。只不过,当时黑杖礼仪官得到了不少抗议声。    下议院议员们到了上议院以后,按规矩是不能与上议院议员们坐一起的。因为上下议院互不干涉。下议院代表只能在围栏外向女王敬礼。    女王演讲后,下议院的人也只能站着辩论。没有什么好抱怨的,因为这是人家上议院的主场,而且通常是象征性的,耗时不算长。    但今年女王演讲后的辩论,显然是要考验下议院议员们的体力了。    上一次演讲女王就有点意兴阑珊


如果说以前英国议会开幕仪式还有模有样的话,上一次2017年的女王“御座演讲”,就有些意兴阑珊了。
    原因就是脱欧闹的。    卡梅伦赌上自己的政治命运搞脱欧公投,结果玩脱了。女王本人也未必意料得到,只是按照规矩,她不能发表个人看法。    因此,女王在2017年演讲时,仪式很简约。女王也没有戴著名的王冠,而是戴了一顶蓝色帽子,帽子上镶嵌的一些黄色纽扣,看上去很像是欧盟旗帜。    而上次议员们也不怎么配合。当时前首相特蕾莎·梅屈膝行礼,反对党工党领袖科尔宾没有任何举动,也被舆论批评了一番。当然,按照正常礼仪,特蕾莎·梅代表下议院致敬就够了。只是因脱欧引发的各政党剧斗,让外界观察家们也变得格外敏感。    以女王阅尽沧桑的政治历练,英国下议院关闭复会这点事不算什么。但是,毕竟约翰逊是走了女王程序才关闭议会的,而英国最高法院又裁决约翰逊违法。    女王在虚君制度下照章办事却不幸中了枪,这很可能让她议会复会的演讲也不会太有兴致。    约翰逊希望通过女王宣读他的施政方针的方式争取支持率,可能是想多了。    约翰逊留给反对者们的时间不多    虽然女王“御座演讲”不见得就是支持约翰逊,不少议员也肯定要和约翰逊过不去,但要阻止约翰逊在本月底脱欧,依然不容易。    原因是时间不怎么够了。    议员们要抵制约翰逊,大概有两个方法。    一是对约翰逊内阁的22 个新法案逐条辩论,总体否决。这是一个比较漫长的过程。而欧盟理事会10月17日、18日两天要根据英国这22个法案的讨论情况讨论怎么和英国谈条件,下议院只有4天的时间,否决约翰逊的计划。否则和欧盟没什么可谈的了。    另一个方法是提出对约翰逊的不信任案。这不仅涉及英国怎么实施脱欧计划,还涉及各政党的合纵连横。科尔宾最近在和议会小党派协商,但各党有各党的立场,能否组成反对派阵营,还很难说。    决定英国脱欧的终极战即将打响。主角不是女王,而是英国脱欧派与挺欧派在未来的两周里,谁能取得优势。优劣对比,也将决定约翰逊的政治寿命。
