The year 2013 saw the rising momentum of the UK Independence Party，which will bring about a number of uncertainties to the future of the UK politics. The UK experienced a rapid economic recovery since the 2^nd Quarter of 2013，whose growth rate is expected to exceed that of all the other members of OECD. However，some negative factors still exist disfavoring the UK’s economic growth including，in particular，the continuous expansion of the government debt. The UK government will continue to carry out austerity policies，among which the welfare reforms have caused great contentions. At the international arena，PM Cameron’s speech on a referendum on the UK’s EU membership has further worsened its relations with the EU，while the China-UK relationship has returned to normal track.
