選挙に行かないと罰金を取られる国があるんですって！
先週の日曜日にあった参議院選挙。
先生との会話をもとに
英作文してみました。
投票率が50％を下回った今回の選挙。
これで民意が反映されるのだろうか？
それとも投票しないことが民意なのか？
オーストラリアは選挙に行かないと罰金を取られるんですって！
個人的には、投票所にワンコを連れているのも魅力（*´∀｀*）
I went to vote last sunday.
The next day, I knew that it was the second smallest turnout.
I don't really follow politics.
I tend to know major things that happen,
but it was shocking to me.
Politicians are not truely getting an indication of what people want, are you?
In Austraila, elections are actually compulsory.
They're obligated to vote.
If they don't vote, they have to pay a fine as a penalty.
Abe became the third-longest-serving Prime Minister in Japan last month.
(Japan used to be famous for a revloving door prime minister.)
He said that he will not run for Prime Minister anymore.
I don't find it surprising because World leaders including Prime Ministers are one of the toughest jobs.
For example, Obama's hair turned gray during his presidency.
Ploblems are piling up in our country, such as household finance including pensions or comsumption tax, etc.
Most divisive issue is a change to the consutitution.
(Abe is now trying to change Article 9.)
People are torn between wanting to change the consitution or not.
