The political dysfunctional of Australia within recent years, is evidence prove that the Australia Government Structure is outdated and needed major upgrade. The Commonwealth of Australia Government structure, is introduced in 1911, over 106 years ago, when the population of Australia is a mere, 4.5 million. Today, Australia is a country of over 24 million. Flaws of Australia government structure, that would not cause problems, one hundred years ago, is now helping to create the issue of political dysfunctional and political disorganize for modern Australia.
This series would explore flaws of Australia Government structure and how it is helping to create the issue of political dysfunction and political disorganize for modern Australia and what sort of upgrade will help resolve the problems.
It would also explore some others flaws of Australia Government structure and how it will one day, also help to create problems for Australia and what sort of upgrade will resolve the problems.
As current Australia Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said, the Prime Minister of Australia, is not a President.
But the problem is that, in reality, the Prime Minister of
Australia, perform both the duty of a President (King or Emperor in some
countries) and a Prime Minister (Secretary of State, in some countries). Thus,
the resolution is to reform the position of Prime Minister, into a Prime
Minister in name, but President in practice, referencing the US system of
electing a President, any Australian citizen over age of forty and got no
criminal record, got the right to run for the position of Prime Minister and
there should be no limitation in the number of candidates, but unlike the US,
he should be elected via the popular vote, rather than electoral college.
Despite the Prime Minister play the role of both a Prime
Minister (Secretary of State in some country) and a President (King or Emperor
in some country), who can become the Prime Minister, is greatly limited by the
two-party system, mean in comparison to the US
1.
Australia is less likely to have good Prime
Minister candidates: US are more likely to have good President candidates
2.
Australia is more likely to get stuck with only
bad candidates: US are less likely to get stuck with bad only candidates
This is because
1.
Due to the two-party system, at Australia only
people who is a MP/leader of left or right side of House of Representative can
be elected as Prime Minister: US allows any US citizens by birth over the age
of 40, with no criminal record to become President candidate
And such great Prime Minister candidate
restriction of Australia, is simply not necessary
2.
Due to the two-party system, at Australia there
can always be at most two candidates (leader of left side of House of
Representative and leader of the right side of House of Representative): US
allows unlimited number of candidates, thus, there can be as many candidates,
as the number of US citizen by birth with no criminal record and is over the
age of forty.
Despite only candidates from major party
could receive more media attention, the number of candidates that can run is
unlimited, for example, in the last US Presidential election, apart from Hilary
Clinton and Donald Trump, there was in fact seven more Presidential candidates,
despite these seven candidates, didn’t get invited to any major TV network,
Presidential debate.
And restricting the number of Prime
Minister candidate to two candidates, is simply not necessary.
As a result
1.
In elections, Australians only get to choose
between leader of left or right side of House of Representative to be Prime
Minister, only allowing two candidates: Americans get to choose from any
American citizens by birth over 40 years old, with no criminal record and want
to be President, allowing unlimited number of candidates.
2.
US is more likely to have good candidates in
comparison to Australia and US is less likely to be limited to bad candidates
in comparison to Australia (despite it might still happen for the US, but
still, lease likely) As a result, US are more likely to have better government
then Australia (not necessary have better government then Australia, but more
likely)
In addition, in Australia the MP can change the leader of
their side of House of Representative at pleasure, thus, change the Prime
Minister, considering the Prime Minister of Australia, play both the role of
Prime Minister and President, it can lead to great political instability. Of
course, it could also have an advantage of, if a bad person become Prime
Minister, it is easier to remove and replace him, but that would require the
greater majority of MP are looking out for national interest, otherwise, it
would be counterproductive, as we seen from for example, a main reason Kevin
Rudd was been removed from the Prime Minister position, is due to him, not
willing to share power, with the other MPs from his side of the House of
Representative and even Malcolm Turnbull, it seems that he need to be fearful
of not pleasing the interest of the MP, if he wants to stay as Prime Minister.
Thus, the US system better allows a good and stable
government, while the Australian system, are less likely to such effect and for
a country with a population of 24 million, it need a system that can better
allow a good and stable government.
Thus, this article firstly proposed the idea, for the Prime
Minister, to become a Prime Minister in name, but an US style President in
practice, not needing to be a MP or leader of the left or right side of House
of Representative, there can unlimited number of candidates running for the
position of Prime Minister and any Australian citizen over the age of forty,
with no criminal record can run for such office.
But this article believes, unlike the US that elect its
President via the electoral college, the Australian Prime Minister, should be
elected via the popular vote.
