Australian Prime Minister Morrison has announced that he will hold a general election on the 21st of next month.
With the approval rating of the ruling party and the conservative coalition declining over the response to the new coronavirus, the focus will be on whether the government will change for the first time in nine years.
Prime Minister Morrison held a press conference on the 10th and announced that he would hold an election for the House of Representatives on the 21st of next month.
In Australia, the party that has won the majority of the seats in the House of Representatives is in power, and Prime Minister Morrison said, "This election is a very important election to choose between a strong economy and a weakening Labor Party. He appealed for his achievements and showed a strong desire to continue to take office.
However, the ruling and conservative coalition led by Prime Minister Morrison has a declining approval rating over the response to the new coronavirus, and the opinion poll reported by the local media earlier this month showed that the ruling and conservative coalition had a 46% approval rating. It is less than 54% of the opposition party and the labor party.
In the future, it is expected that there will be a debate over economic policy and how to deal with China, where relations are deteriorating, and the focus will be on whether the administration will change for the first time in nine years since the 2013 general election.
