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-ie poption. 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-ie poptions, 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 ording to their level of support while suring a minimum ie.


    This is not exactly fridly forrger 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, thergest 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 specte 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 rted to the poption."


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


    "It''s not about poption size, Your Majesty," Grant Wilson exined, "Although poption size is a significant issue for us, our annual intake of immigrants has steadily increased thanks to the efforts of you, Your Majesty, and the governmt. The problem of poption size is gradually being solved. What I want to say is actually rted to these immigrants.


    Regarding their resettlemt, I think the currt governmt''s approach is somewhat inappropriate. If we take a closer look at Austrsia as a whole, most of our immigrants are located in southeastern Australia and North Ind of New Zend. Ev more than 60% of immigrants have chos to relocate to major cities in these areas."


    "There are advantages to this situation, as our capital Sydney has a poption of more than 900,000 and is about to be the kingdom''s first city to exceed one million in poption. However, there are also some inappropriate aspects to this approach. The gap betwe our cities is gradually bing appart.


    Our poption is already small, and conctrating most people inrge cities is not ideal for the developmt of the nation and regions."


    Arthur nodded; this is indeed a noticeable issue, and ev the governmt''s previous policies have not eased the situation.


    Although Austrsia has be a popr choice for immigrants, it does not mean that all regions of Austrsia are wee to immigrants.


    Immigrants have diverse choices, but gerally, they consider factors such as local developmt, economy, cultural construction, education, healthcare, and poption.


    Compared to Austrsia''s major cities, smaller cities have noticeably weakerpetitivess and can naturally attract fewer immigrants.


    To give a simple example, the poption of Perth, the capital of West Australia, has only grown from just under 40,000 to just over 30,000 betwe 900 and early 908, with a total poption increase of just 90,000.


    In contrast, the poption growth of Melbourne, the secondrgest city in Austrsia, seems much faster.


    Simrly, from 900 to early 908, Melbourne''s poption 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 Austrsia, 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 be the most popr destinations in Austrsia, ev surpassing most cities in the United States.


    Sydney''s poption size was initially smaller than Melbourne, but it has now reached just over 970,000, moving towards a poption 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 Austrsia with a total poption of more than 500,000.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The total number of immigrants that Sydney has added in the past eight years is equal to thebined poption of Tasmania State and South New Zend 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 gship of Austrsia. Sydney has yed 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.


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