Default Re: OT: Strange future for down-under?

Well, I don't remember the exact rule for House of Representatives. California has a population around thirty-five million, and has around fifty-three Congressional Districts. Australia has, as a whole, a population under twenty million, so if the proportion is simply the same Australia would end up with thirty representatives. Not exactly a powerful bloc, but a bloc nonetheless.

And would the Australian political parties join an already established American political party, or would they just support a U.S. party on national issues (like presidential campaigns, Federal Bills, or Federal Court Justices) as it suited them?
