句子改正

maerchen

Some critics of the Olympian Party candidate Zeus Pater are pleased that he has chosen Artemis Rhodes, the prefect of Alexandria, to be his running mate; as many commentators have pointed out, her views on social issues are more in line with the Olympian Party platform than are Pater's. 这个are不是很多余吗？为什么不需要去掉呢？（ps 答案根本没提及are的问题）

个人理解，请指正。。。

her views  are more in line with X  than Pater's  ..   感觉比较对象有点歧义 her views  are more in line with X  than  with Pater's  ..加个with就是明确了 ..她的观点和x的更加一致与她的观点和pater's view比起来， her view --> X  与 her view --> pater's view 比较

her views  are more in line with X  than are Pater's   是拿her views和pater's views比较哪个更符合X党派//意思是她的观点比pater's的观点更加与x一致.. 这句话因为有are,句意很清楚 her views  are more in line with X  than  Pater's view are( in line with X )

我自己都迷迷糊糊的了，请高手指点，和下面的我自己写的例子应该一样的道理

her house is closer to A than his house  比较对象不明确 。加个介词to后  her house is closer to A than to his house 她家离A  比   她家离他家  近

her house is closer to A than is his house。。。。her house is closer to A than is his house to A      她家比他家离A近

than Peter's views are..
这里有个倒装，还有省略views。 views 是are 的主语，所以are是正确的。
