オーストラリアは,左翼勢力の強化を図り,民主主義と政治戦略に関する議論を激化させるかもしれない. Australia may expand Parliament to boost left-wing power, sparking debate over democracy and political strategy.

オーストラリアにおける選挙後の調査は,国会の拡大を検討しており,国会に24の議席から48の議席を加え,上院に比例する議席を加算し,1987年には166万人から今日では2,700万人を超える人口増加を図る. A post-election inquiry in Australia is considering expanding Parliament, potentially adding 24 to 48 seats to the House of Representatives and a proportional number to the Senate, driven by population growth from 16.26 million in 1987 to over 27 million today. 緑の党の影響力を強化し,首相のアンソニー・アルバネスの労働党に利益をもたらし,両院で永続的な多数を獲得するチャンスを増やす. The move, which would lower the electoral quota in the Senate, could strengthen the Greens’ influence and benefit Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor Party by increasing their chances of securing a lasting majority in both houses. 民主主義改革といわれるが,拡大は左翼勢力を強化するための戦略的政治的計算として広く認められている. Though framed as a democratic reform, the expansion is widely seen as a strategic political calculation to entrench left-wing power, despite likely public opposition to adding more politicians.
