Australia may expand Parliament to boost left-wing power, sparking debate over democracy and political strategy.
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.
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.
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.
