body politic, palpitation,

How did this happen? The right in British politics found an issue that’s causing palpitations in the body politic the world over: immigration. Part of the Conservative Party, allied with the far-right U.K. Independence Party, took this issue and focused its campaign to leave Europe on it. This strategy could not have succeeded, though, without finding common cause with a significant segment of Labour voters.

這一切是怎麼發生的？英國政界的右翼發現了一個令全世界人民心悸的問題：移民。部分保守黨(Conservative Party)，連同極右翼的英國獨立黨(U.K. Independence Party)，抓住了這個問題，把它作為脫離歐洲運動的核心。但這項戰略本不會成功，因為工黨(Labour)的大批選民並不認同。

譯評

"全世界人民"  改為"全世界各國的總體人民"

issue是議題，非問題。

反移民這戰略本不會成功，除非他取得工黨(Labour)的大部分選民的認同。
