Vertaling van "l'aurais vivement applaudi " (Frans → Engels) :

Si le premier ministre avait dit que le pays s'enfonçait dans le gouffre plus lentement que du temps des conservateurs, il aurait fait preuve d'honnêteté et je l'aurais vivement applaudi.
If the Prime Minister had said the country is going down the drain more slowly than when the Tories were in power, that would have been an honest statement and I would have applauded wildly.
