A Broken Two-Party System

The current political landscape in Australia highlights the breakdown of the traditional two-party system, with many voters expressing dissatisfaction with both the Liberal and Labor parties. In recent elections, a significant increase in support for independent candidates and minor parties suggests that voters are looking for alternatives. For the first time, the coalition faced a landslide defeat, resulting in a record low of seats in parliament, which signifies a major shift in voter preferences. This change indicates that many Australians are seeking a more diverse representation that can better address their interests and concerns.
