Why It Matters

自民党、日本維新の会、国民民主党は12日、衆院議員の定数削減法案を衆院に共同提出した。比例代表の31議席減が柱で、今国会中の成立を目指し、政治改革特別委員会で来週から審議したい考えだ。定数削減は消費税減税と並ぶ今国会の焦点であり、選挙制度の見直しを一方的に進めることには異論も根強く、国民民主以外の野党は反発している。

自民党、日本維新の会、国民民主党は12日、衆院議員の定数削減法案を衆院に共同提出した。比例代表の31議席減が柱。今国会中の成立を目指しており、政治改革特別委員会で来週から審議したい考えだ。

比例、各ブロックで2~5減 衆院定数見直し、自維国提出へ

定数削減は消費税減税と並ぶ今国会の焦点。「民主主義の基盤」である選挙制度の見直しを一方的に進めることには異論も根強く、国民民主以外の野党は反発している。

自維国3党の選挙制度改革の責任者は提出に先立ち国会内で会談し、法案内容について正式に合意した。自民の加藤勝信前財務相は「力を合わせて成立に向けて努力する」と述べた。

法案は2015年と比較した30年の推計人口を基に、衆院定数465のうち、比例を現行の176から145に削減。中国、四国両ブロックを統合し、全10ブロックとする。議席配分方法は、現在の「ドント式」から中小政党に有利とされる「修正サンラグ式」に変更する。

小選挙区で敗れた候補者が比例で復活当選できる基準については、有効投票総数の「10分の1」から「6分の1」に厳格化。比例候補を立てやすくするため、供託金の返還額を600万円に比例当選者数を乗じた額の「2倍」から、「2.5倍」とする。
