Would rather did / do

On the one hand Mr Sunak wants to placate a range of hawkish constituencies, such as Thatcherite backbench Tory MPs who would rather the government keep taxes low and bond traders who in recent weeks have sold their investments in sovereign debt.

Would rather加从句的时候,一般不是要用虚拟语气吗,这里用who would rather the government kept taxes low更好些?感觉这个would rather后面必须接虚拟语气可能中国人自己果断总结的规律吧,以前也在一些外刊上看到过would rather后面用现在时的从句。

你的虚拟语气是怎么学的?难道keep不是虚拟语气吗? would rather后接从句,从句用had done表示过去,用did/were表示现在或将来。在美式英语中也用动词原型表示将来。这都是虚拟语气动词形式,而不是陈述语气。
