Why Australia needs electoral reform

Col Jennings fails Australia’s outdated election system voters, and it’s time for each vote count.

A timely trial proportional representation And Dr. The need to reform the government system of Australia, written by Klaas Wolding, was a pleasant departure of the mainstream blur of the election reports. It just requires justice.

I completely agree with his comments Sound referendum and repeat ‘The embarrassing campaign against this referendum needs to be corrected’.

Dr Woldring said:

‘Many people about the realities of the indigenous people – and the former liberal leader was an extraordinary ignorance of political opportunism. Peter Dutton. ‘

The proportional representation selection systems are used in Australia to elect a candidate for Senate, NSW, Victoria, South Australia’s upper houses, the sub -council of Tasmania, the legislative council and many local government councils.

It represents the wishes of the voters, because the parties win a seat in proportion to the percentage of the votes they receive.

Within the scope of this system, a candidate is elected when the total number of votes is equal to the quota or exceeds. In this way, it better reflects the ratio of the votes received by the candidates.

Dr wolddi says:

‘The last great reform that needs to be approached is the election system for Australia.’

For a few years, I have been inviting the workers’ leaders to take this step without any response.

Dr wolddi says:

‘Unlike great misconceptions, even in Alp, the current election system is not a democratic system.’

Why was the workers’ members for this reform?

Unlike media reports, the Greens lost only 0.1% of their votes. There are 11 members in the Senate where the proportional vote is observed. It is unfair to win only one seat in the House of Representatives, which is 12.1% in total. In proportion, they would get 18 seats.

On the other hand, the citizens received nine seats with 588,752 votes in favor of May 20, while the Greens won only one seat with 1,872,023 votes in their favor. With 1.009.245 votes or 6.5%, independent won nine chairs or probably ten.

United workers and coalition parties came out with less than two -thirds of the total vote, but caught most of 150 seats. Obviously, this system does not reflect the will of the Australian people.

I have to accept exactly in another article with Dr Woldring. ‘Hostile two -party political culture in Australia needs to replace it’.

Instead of accepting the need for cooperation or having a combined front, any system that strengthens the concept of division is unhealthy. Instead of delaying or discussing the semantics of 80% of the Australians, imagine that climate change can work together to reversed disaster effects – we will reach the 0.5% emission target.

Those who plan the target of a year – 2050 in 2030 do not come into contact with reality. There are dozens of ways to reducing emissions and we need to unite to allow people to try every renewable method available, but it should be guided by science about which method will bring the best result as soon as possible. Nuclear energy is brainless. We have known this for 50 years. Leave.

I doubt that it has changed the present Australian Constitution It’s possible right now. Failure Sound referendum It was an indication that Australians could still be forced to adopt the facts by the media mogüls and sad political opportunism.

If Alp supports a fair election system on the policy platform, then it is time to act to reform this unfair election system.

It is subject to the values, opinions and prejudices we grow; Our own personalities and according to the social identity we created after starting life in this world. Fortunately, we have an option when we vote, but even though some things are equal, other determinants say how to manage.

Regardless of the outcome of any choice, be sure – no one can control the human soul.
