The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 281: Chapter 251: Farewell to Grant Wilson_3

If we look at the situation in Europe, the political party with the least amount of funds must be the Rural Party.

Why? Because the primary target audice of the Rural Party is the rural and low-income population. These people are already struggling to take care of themselves and their families, so the amount of funds they can donate to the Rural Party is naturally ev less.

If this continues for a long time, a party like the Rural Party, which guinely cares about rural and low-income populations, will inevitably face bankruptcy and ev the risk of dissolution.

However, it is precisely because of the Party Law promulgated by Arthur that each party can divide the remaining political funds according to their level of support while suring a minimum income.

This is not exactly fridly for larger parties, but for the Rural Party and smaller factions, it is the key to maintaining the survival of the party and the real reason why the Party Law has not countered too much opposition.

After all, the largest party is currtly the Unity Party, whose program is tirely for the royal family and can be considered as the royal family's insiders.

Arthur nodded and looked at Grant Wilson, seemingly casually asking: "Councillor Grant, what is your opinion on the currt developmt of the country?"

Grant Wilson was startled and hurriedly organized his thoughts in his mind, but he didn't dare to spd too much time. After a short momt, he said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to speculate on the national level of developmt. However, I may have a clearer view of some small-scale issues from the outside.

I think there are two problems exposed in the currt developmt, both of which are related to the population."

Arthur smiled, showing some interest, and continued to ask, "Oh? Issues related to the population? If it's about population size, this issue is already well-known, and there is no need to repeat it."

Similarly, from 900 to early 908, Melbourne's population grew from 440,000 to 7,000, with a total increase of over 70,000, exactly three times that of Perth.

The reason why Sydney is not mtioned is that Sydney's developmt is ev more exaggerated. As the former capital of the Australian Principality and now the capital of the Kingdom of Australasia, Sydney has always be the focus of the governmt's developmt efforts.

Moreover, with the presce of the Bz Car Factory, the super factory, the Capital Territory, and Sydney have become the most popular destinations in Australasia, ev surpassing most cities in the United States.

Sydney's population size was initially smaller than Melbourne, but it has now reached just over 970,000, moving towards a population size of one million.

This means that Sydney has absorbed more than 500,000 immigrants in these eight years.

How exaggerated is this number? Currtly, there are only sev administrative regions in Australasia with a total population of more than 500,000.

The total number of immigrants that Sydney has added in the past eight years is equal to the combined population of Tasmania State and South New Zealand State.

However, this is not a problem with Sydney itself. After all, there is nothing wrong with developing and building Sydney, which is currtly the capital and flagship of Australasia. Sydney has played an invaluable role in attracting so many immigrants.

But the developmt of other administrative regions must also be tak into consideration, so it is necessary to divert some immigrants to other areas.

Particularly in West Australian State and South Australia State, which have a wealth of mineral resources, the combined population of these two states is only about .5 million. In contrast, New South Wales State still has a population of more than .9 million, ev without the large city of Sydney.
