You know, that the grey vote is incredibly powerful, reliable and skews to the Tories.

你知道，灰色选票非常强大、可靠， 而且偏向保守党。

But in years to come, when the grey vote carries even more sway, they will become just about impossible -- making it all the more important for politicians to act sooner rather than later.

但在未来几年，当老年选民具有更大的影响力时，这样做将变得几乎不可能，这使得政客们尽早而不是推迟行动变得更重要。

I think they accept in the Treasury now that given how totemic it's been in multiple Conservative manifestos and crucial to shoring up the grey vote, that's probably got to stay.

我认为他们现在在财政部接受了， 鉴于它在多个保守党宣言中的图腾性以及对支持灰色投票的关键，这可能必须保留。
