豪首相、野党党首、閣僚など選挙活動中パブ・バンドのPVに出演
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott are among the large number of politicians from all parts of the political spectrum to take time off from campaigning for the Sept. 7 election to appear in a music video for pub band Super Best Friends‘ new song, Round and Round!, according to News Ltd. reports.
ビデオは、オージーユーモアの実例と言えるだろう、今の厳しい世の中で国の深刻の現状と別世界のような話である。特に選挙があと僅かで開催される時では、日本でこのようなことをまず考えられないだろう。しかし、選挙があるからこそやっているだろう。各党が出来るだけ有権者に短い存在であるかをアピールしたいと思ってだろう。
The video is probably an example of Australian humor, but is a world apart from the gravity of the country’s situation. With an election just around the corner, something like this would be unthinkable in Japan. In Australia, though, they’re probably doing it because of the election in an attempt to show how close they are to voters.
当然、選挙が終わったら世界中政治家同様有権者のことを一切気にしなくなるだろう。
Of course, like politicians around the world, the minute they’ve been elected to office these politicians will all almost invariably begin ignoring those same voters again.
