However, there are three more parties who are
contesting for the election.
How
many parties are for election?
Australia has faced political instability
before and now as well the circumstances are different.
There are basically five parties which have
been into election of Prime Minister in 2019- The Liberal/National Coalition,
The Labour, The Greens, The Katter’s Australian, and Centre Alliance.
However, main competition for 2019 remains in
between the Liberal and the Labour.
Parliament
of Australia
The parliament is bicameral and that consists
of two houses. The election was called following the dissolution of the 45th
Parliament as elected at the 2016 double dissolution federal
election.
Australia
enforces compulsory voting and uses full-preference instant-runoff
voting in single-member seats for the House of Representatives and
optional preferential single transferable voting in the proportionally
represented Senate. The election is administered by the Australian
Electoral Commission.
Past
history of Australian Governments post elections.
The outcome of the 2016 federal election
could not be predicted on election night, and there were many doubts. Post counting,
neither of the contesting party won enough seats in the 150 seats to form a
majority government.
During the uncertain week following the
election, Turnbull negotiated with the crossbench and secured confidence and
supply support from Bob Katter and from independents Andrew Wilkie and Cathy
McGowan in the event of a hung parliament and resulting minority government.
Some
facts related to 2019 Australian elections.
The climate change has been the main theme
for Australian elections in 2019. Australia
remains the world’s driest inhabited continent. It is confronting its own
vulnerability to the effects of global warming. Australia, among the world’s
largest wheat exporters, has been forced to take recourse to bulk imports of
the grain, consequent to severe droughts in its eastern states over two years.

Mr. Morrison, a supporter of coal-generated
power, may also find his hard-line stance on immigration difficult to defend in
the wake of the terrorist attacks in neighbouring New Zealand.
From combating climate change to shaping
energy policy, Mr. Morrison’s Liberal party is a divided house between
moderates and conservatives.
Malcolm Turnbull, the opposition Labor
party seems to enjoy an edge over the governing centre-right Liberal-National
coalition, according to opinion polls. Its leader, Bill Shorten, has rallied
the party during its time in the opposition in the last six years.
Labor’s advantage stems from its promise of a
living wage, tighter regulation and ambitious targets on carbon emissions.
A 45% reduction in carbon emissions on 2005
levels by 2030 is part of its manifesto, aimed at appealing to Australia’s
growing number of green voters.
Conversely, the pro-business credentials of
Mr. Morrison’s Liberal-National coalition are said to have been steadily eroded
as the government has reneged on its promise of corporate tax cuts.
The package of measures unveiled in the pre-election budget in April may only have a moderate impact. As with several industrialised democracies, voter disillusionment with the principal parties is yielding a fragmented polity, and smaller parties and independents could potentially tilt the balance of power in the Senate, which is crucial for the passage of legislation.

With consistent economic growth and modest
levels of unemployment, Australia has had a remarkable track
record in recent decades.
This scenario is in stark contrast to the incessant
political swings that impede the legislative agenda. What is without doubt is
that the turnout will be high at the polls, as voting is compulsory for registered
voters.
