Australia’s lower house of parliament has 151 seats for about 17 million at Australia’s last federal elections in 2022.I don't know a great deal about Politics (especially with the UK) but did I read correctly that there are 630 seats in the UK?
We have 150 in the House of Reps I think? The Senate has how many?
I get the population in the UK is much higher but 630 seems way over the top. No wonder they are packed in Question time like Sardines....
Can the more learned colleagues on here enlighten me......
The UK there are over 47 million voter registrations for 650 seats, although voting is not compulsory in the UK. Just looking at the 650 seats. Just looking at the TV it appears only 59% turnout. Down 7.5% on the last election.
A funny thing is you don’t need to be a UK citizen to vote in an election there, as qualifying Commonwealth citizens can also vote. Australians include.
Just seeing Liz Truss has lost her seat.
