This report examines the current state of British political discussion ten years after the murder of Member of Parliament Jo Cox. It focuses specifically on the views of her sister and successor, Kim Leadbeater.

本報告研究了在國會議員 Jo Cox 被謀殺十年後，英國政治討論的現狀。重點在於探討其妹妹兼繼任者 Kim Leadbeater 的觀點。

Jo Cox was killed in June 2016 by a right-wing extremist during the high tensions of the EU membership referendum. Although the event initially led different political parties to agree on the need for a 'kinder, gentler' political environment, Kim Leadbeater emphasizes that this agreement did not last. She argues that political instability has increased over the last decade, claiming that the current level of division is even higher than it was during the 2016 referendum.

Jo Cox 在 2016 年 6 月歐盟成員國資格公投的高壓緊張局勢中，被一名右翼極端分子殺害。雖然該事件最初促使不同政黨同意需要一個「更溫和、更友善」的政治環境，但 Kim Leadbeater 強調，這項共識並未持久。她認為過去十年的政治不穩定程度有所增加，並聲稱目前的分歧程度甚至高於 2016 年公投期間。

Experts suggest that this decline is caused by a shift from economic issues to conflicts based on identity. Professor Rob Ford explains that the Brexit process sped up populist trends, where personal values lead to extreme positions instead of compromise. Furthermore, social media algorithms often promote extreme views, which makes the problem worse. Consequently, MPs such as Diane Abbott and Jess Phillips have reported a significant increase in targeted abuse and security threats, suggesting that digital platforms have made aggressive language seem normal.

專家指出，這種衰退是由於焦點從經濟問題轉向基於身份認同的衝突。Rob Ford 教授解釋，脫歐過程加速了民粹主義趨勢，使得個人價值觀導致極端立場而非妥協。此外，社交媒體的演算法經常推廣極端觀點，使問題更加惡化。因此，如 Diane Abbott 和 Jess Phillips 等國會議員報告稱，針對性的辱罵和安全威脅顯著增加，顯示數位平台已使激進語言顯得常態化。

To combat these trends, organizations like the Jo Cox Foundation and the Together Coalition have worked to improve community unity. These groups have focused on how social isolation can lead to extremism, which resulted in the government creating a Strategy for Loneliness. Additionally, the Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion has started the 'National Conversation' to use artificial intelligence to identify public feelings and promote moderate voices over a loud minority.

為了對抗這些趨勢，諸如 Jo Cox Foundation 和 Together Coalition 等組織致力於改善社區團結。這些團體關注社交孤立如何導致極端主義，促使政府制定了「對抗孤獨策略」。此外，社區與凝聚力獨立委員會啟動了「全國對話」，利用人工智慧來識別公眾感受，並在喧鬧的少數群體中推廣溫和的聲音。

The current political climate is marked by deep division, although efforts continue to build community cohesion and regulate the digital tools that cause these splits.

目前的政治氣氛以深層分歧為特徵，儘管各方持續努力建立社區凝聚力，並監管導致分歧的數位工具。

This report examines the current state of British political discourse ten years after the murder of Member of Parliament Jo Cox, focusing on the perspectives of her successor and sister, Kim Leadbeater.

本報告旨在研究國會議員 Jo Cox 遇害十年後，英國政治論述的現狀，並著重於其接任者兼妹妹 Kim Leadbeater 的觀點。

The assassination of Jo Cox in June 2016 by a right-wing extremist occurred amidst the heightened tensions of the European Union membership referendum. While the event initially prompted a cross-party consensus advocating for a 'kinder, gentler' political climate, Kim Leadbeater asserts that this rapprochement was ephemeral. She contends that political volatility has intensified over the subsequent decade, citing a persistent atmosphere of division that exceeds the levels observed during the 2016 referendum.

Jo Cox 於 2016 年 6 月被一名右翼極端分子刺殺，當時正值歐盟成員國公投緊張局勢升級之際。儘管該事件最初促使各政黨達成共識，倡導建立一個「更溫和、更友善」的政治氣候，但 Kim Leadbeater 主張這種和解僅是短暫的。她認為政治波動在隨後十年中有所加劇，並指出持續的分裂氛圍已超過 2016 年公投期間的水平。

Academic and political stakeholders attribute this deterioration to a systemic shift from economic-based politics to identity-driven conflict. Professor Rob Ford suggests that the Brexit process accelerated populist trends, where identity and values lead to absolutism rather than compromise. This phenomenon is further exacerbated by the algorithmic amplification of extreme views on social media platforms. Members of Parliament, including Diane Abbott and Jess Phillips, have reported a marked increase in targeted abuse and physical security threats, suggesting that digital platforms have normalized aggressive rhetoric.

學術與政治利益相關者將這種惡化歸因於從基於經濟的政治向身份認同驅動的衝突之系統性轉移。Rob Ford 教授建議，脫歐過程加速了民粹主義趨勢，使得身份與價值觀導致絕對主義而非妥協。這種現象進一步被社交媒體平台上演算法對極端觀點的放大所加劇。包括 Diane Abbott 和 Jess Phillips 在內的國會議員報告稱，針對性的辱罵和身體安全威脅明顯增加，顯示數位平台已使激進言論正常化。

In response to these trends, institutional efforts toward community cohesion have been formalized through the Jo Cox Foundation and the Together Coalition. These entities have focused on the intersection of social isolation and extremism, leading to the establishment of a government Strategy for Loneliness. Furthermore, the Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion has initiated the 'National Conversation' to utilize artificial intelligence in mapping public sentiment and amplifying moderate voices over vocal minorities.

為了應對這些趨勢，透過 Jo Cox 基金會和 Together Coalition，將社區凝聚力的制度化努力正式化。這些實體將重點放在社會孤立與極端主義的交集上，促成了政府「孤獨策略」的建立。此外，獨立社區與凝聚力委員會啟動了「國家對話」，利用人工智慧映射公眾情緒，並在喧鬧的少數群體之上放大溫和派的聲音。

The current political environment is characterized by significant polarization, though efforts persist to institutionalize community cohesion and regulate the digital drivers of division.

目前的政治環境以顯著的極端化為特徵，儘管各方仍致力於將社區凝聚力制度化，並監管導致分裂的數位驅動因素。
