【Preface】

However,the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe insisted that it’s an election on the House of Representatives which made the Prime Minister change by the judgement of nation and even if being defeated in the election on the Upper House,the Prime Minister doesn’t have to change. He remained in the Prime Minister and formed a new cabinet then.

However.he resigned as Prime Minister just as the new cabinet was formed October in 2007. He went into a hospital due to a poor health. All the Japanese people were flabbergasted at his irresponsibllity.

In the next,Yasuo Hokuda assumed the office of Prime Minister. He didn’t make the House of Representatives dissolve too though some people criticized,for without doing the election of the House of Representatives in which the nation’s opinion was reflected,the Prime Minister alone was changed,it was in the wrong.Far from it! He also resigned as Prime Minister October in 2008.

【Preface】

Even if the number of the members of the Liberal Democratic Party increased in the Hose of the Represntatives,the political party is minority in the Upper House,It’s the House of the Diet being controlled by different parties,what is called ねじれ国会,so the Prime Minister found it hard to do politics.

In addition,the situation surrounding the Prime Minister wasn’t so good. The percentage of those supporting the cabinet had been low,so Yasuo Hokuda thought like the next.

“Other new person should be the Prime MInister. After that when the percentage of supporting the cabinet is high,the general election should be done. If the LIberal Democratic Party wins in the election on the House of Representatives,it will mean that the nation also supports the Liberal Democratic Party”.

“As a result,the member of the Upper House will find it hard to object to the judgement of the members of the House of Represnetatives,so the politics will be easy to be done.” As a result the Aso.....

【Preface】

As a result,the Aso Cabinet was born. Everyone expected that the Prime Minister Aso would carry out the general election at once,but he couldn’t on account of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers,for the global economy fell into disorder owing to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers which was a major investment bank.

The Prime Minister Aso thought “I couldn’t carry out the general election in this situation. I must avoid a political blank and do my best so as to recover economy.” He didn’t make the House of Representatives dissolve too. Without listening to the opinion from the nation,the Prime Minister changed one after another.

In consequence,the percentage of those supporting the cabinet became low. To make matters worse,the Aso Cabinet thought“ if the House of Representatives dissolves,we’ll be defeated in the election,we can’t make the assembly dissolve at present.”,so the election was postponed more and more.

In the meantime lots of people began to criticize the....

I’m afraid that I’ve suffered from asperger syndrome,it’s an autism without intellectual disorder though there seem to be sorts of the asperger syndrome. Some books say some flaws in the brain cause the syndrome. Does it mean that I’m a fool? I’m wondering.

We the asperger syndrome aren’t good at listening to other’s remarks. To make matters worse,I’m lacking a sense of unable to listening to other’s remarks. In addition,we aren’t good at understanding at unspoken agreement. While others understand something I alone can’t do it. If so,I should indicate I can’t do it clearly,but too embarrassed to do.

I’m wondering it’s a kind of handicap,but it’s hard to be recognized.

Even if I’m bitterly disappointed,if taking action with clenching my fist,I’m sure it’s all right, then without being able to take action,I’m not good at anything.

【Preface】

In the meantime,the former Prime Minister’s remarks were self-contradictory. For example,he said he used to be opposed to the postal privatization originally. Or while he established the Supplementary Payment Income system定額給付金制度,he said he wouldn’t accept it.

Moreover,heused to go for a drink to a high rank bar in a hotel or to a member ship one almost every day,so he was criticized again,for lacking the way of thinking of the common people. Then he counterargued.“Drinking at the bar in the hotel is reasonable.”,so the people felt hostile him more and more.

However,the member of the House of Representatives’ term of office approached the expiration,he said he made the House of Representative dissolve. The power to dissolve the House of Representatives belongs to the Prime Minister alone.

There used to be some Prime Minister whose term of office as the member of the House of Representatives expired and did a general election without making the House of Representatives.

Without being able to make the House of Represnetatives dissolve the former Prime Minister Takeo Miki expired its term of office and was forced to do the election. There was other former Prime minister who tried to dissolve but couldn't do because of an objection within the Liberal Democratic Party. It's Toshiki Kaifu.

Mr. Aso seemed to think like the next.“others must have thought that I couldn't make the assembly dissolve because of being lacking in my political ability.” On the other hand,he was actively disturbed by other his political members,who insisted that the Liberal Democratic Party would be defeated in the election if they did the election under control by Mr. Aso.

However we the nation can evaluate the coalition government of the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito. What kind of things does each political party assert in an electral campaign? It is this time when we show our judgement,referring to the manifest.

【The former Prime Ministe,who made the House of the Representatives dissolve】

《Though the power of dissolving the assembly which belongs to Prime Minister was used,the ruling party was ousted from its post》

I've expressed this response in English,being based on a book of which title is 池上彰の政権交代がわかる！,which was published in 2009.

The House of the Represnetatives were dissolved in 2009. The moment the dissolution was settled some members in the assembly yelled,“Hurray!” Dissolving the House of the Representatives means that the members in the House of the Representatives are no longer the members. Why do they say,“Hurray!”?

There seem to be some opinions on it. When dissolving the Emperor says it. We should think it thankful,so then the members in the assembly say hurray.

As strengthening its resolution that it would return to the assembly after winning in an election,it says hurray,others say. On the contrary,giving up returning,and saying hurray,there seem to be another.

In short there doesn't seem to be clear opinion on the hurray at all. Almost all of the people say and do due to the tradition.

There is the House of the Representatives and the House of Councils in the National Assembly. We call It two chamber system on account of the two Houses. The members in the National Assembly are elected by each election separately,and both of the members can check each other what they have done.

As to the members in the House of Councils,once being elected,it remains the member for 6 years. The House of Councils isn't dissolved in the middle of the term of the office. It's a consideration that the members can do their political jobs slowly and carefully.

On the other hand,the term of the House of the Representativee is 4 years,it's usually dissolved before the term of a member in the assembly of office expires. The member’s term of office seldom expires.

When opposition party criticizesd severely what the Cabinet has done,the Prime Minister often decides whether or not he judges he should make the assembly dissolve,for then he asks the nation which is right,the way of the Cabinet or the assertion of the opposition party?

After that an election will be done,then if the ruling party which supports the Cabinet wins,it means that the nation supports what the Cabinet had done. Contrary on it,if the opposition party wins,it means that the nation refuses what the Cabinet had done.

“If being elected to a Diet member,I’ll carry out this wonderful policy for all of you!” some candidates say like that. We call it a pledge. It means an official promise,but some of them are just that they frequently enumerate unrealizable policies practically. As a result the pledge for the election had learned to be used as a simile たとえ which isn't reliable at all. It makes no sense.

As a result voices in which the political parties should promise realizable things alone strengthened,the word of manifesto has become familiar with us.

Manifesto means an announcement in Italy language. The Labor Party proclaimed in a general election in the U.K.in 1997 and it was favorably received.

Even if the political party can show the nation a rose colored promise,it has no money to accomplish the policy,it'll be meaningless.

In short,in the content of the manifesto in which the political party makes promise to the nation,the political party must indicate a concrete number of the amount of money clearly. If the concrete number is written in the manifesto, when the political party comes into power and the party leader becomes the Prime Minister,the nation will be able to make sure whether or not the content of the manifesto is carried out later.

In short the nation can inspect how much the pledge is carried out in the manifesto for itself later. After announced the manifesto and an election was over,the Labor Party in the U.K. announced in detailed how much the content of the manifesto was carried out,and which one wasn't carried out to the nation.

When looking at the manifesto,the British nation can evaluate what the Labor Party has done.

Even after the election was over,without throwing away the manifesto,and setting it aside,eligible voters make sure how much the political party could carry out its pledge. It's necessary.

Without making the one who was proficient in debate,the Liberal Democratic Party would be disadvantageous.

The かんぽ生命保険 was separated from the post office and became a private insurance company,so the company has to obey a law of life insurance. The law provides that the insurance company limited to do business on insurance alone.

The statesmen must make clear on the money which they accepted so as to be overseen whether or not the political fund has been done legally and they have to report earnings and expenditure on the political donation for the public office.

The author said like the next in the book. “To be exact,the law isn't 政治資金規制法, but 政治資金規正法. Without controlling it,we intend to make the statesmen accept the political donation legally and spend it.”,but my electrical dictionary makes use for the word of 規制. I'm not sure which is right.

《Actually,it's a political donation from Nishimatsu construction firm.》

Any company can't offer any political donation direct to the group which is in charge of controlling the political fund,but a political organization can do,so the construction firm adopted the form as if it had been the political donation from the political organization.

Two kinds of political organizations were established,and the executives in the construction firm paid the membership fee to the political organizations,and the political organizations handed over the money to the group who was in charge of controlling money for Ozawa representative. Sum of the political donation was about 2.1 million yen.

On the other hand,as for the money which the executives shouldered the membership fees,the construction firm paid them more than their bonus from the construction firm.

In short,in fact it was the political donation…

《The president of a firm called Nishimatsu construction was convicted.》

In short,in fact it's a political donation from the Nishimatsu Construction firm,but it was against a law,so the executives adopted the form the donation from the political organizations,and the secretary of Ozawa representative who accepted the donation recognized it,but the secretary made a false report to the public office. The suspicion on the secretary was like the one.

Why did the Nishimatsu construction firm donate the political contribution to Ozawa representative? Needless to say a doubt that the construction firm asked something guilty for Ozawa Representative in secret appeared.

On the other hand Ozawa Representative declared that he had done nothing guilty. Then if an election was done,the Democratic Party of Japan would win the election,and there was high possibility that he became the Prime Minister in Japan,but …

Then if an election was done,the Democratic Party of Japan would win the election and there was high possibility that Ozawa Representative became the Prime Minister in Japan,but then the Tokyo local District Public Prosecutor’s Office arrested Ozawa Representative’s secretary,for the authority tried to make him fall in the estimation of statesman,Ozawa Representative criticized like that.

The former president of the Nishimatsu construction firm offered the political fund and was charged with violation against the Political Funds Control Law. He was sentenced to 1 year and 4 months’ imprisonment with 3 years’ suspension of sentence from the Tokyo district court.

I'm wondering if everyone has already forget the former Ozawa Representative,for the book was written in 2009,about a decade ago. Ten years make an epoch 10年ひと昔…

【They called him a drunk minister.】

《When being drunken,if showing up in public,it is very shameful of them in the West.》

As Shoichi Nakagawa who was in charge of the Minister of Finance seemed to be half conscious at a press conference in Rome February in 2009,foreign media reported he was drunken,so the minister resigned. It was unclear whether or not he was drunken,but he drank not only at the previous night but at lunchtime of that day of the press conference. When being drunken and turning up in public,they find it very embarrassed in the Occident.

The conference at which the minister attended was was what is called G7,which was held at Rome in Italy. The G7 is an abbreviation of Group of 7. The Ministers of Finance and presidents of central banks in 7 developed countries gather and discuss on the global economy at the conference. Then the president of the Japanese central bank was also present at the conference.

《When being drunken and if turning up in public,it is very shameful of them in the Occident.》

Then the financial instability had spread all over the world and the global economy had fallen into serious depression after the bankruptcy of the investment bank,Lehman Brothers. What should they do so as to improve the grave situation? The representatives in developed countries gathered and discussed on the way out of the present difficulty at the conference.

That was why the conference was very vital one. Lots of reporters gathered from throughout the world so as to cover and paid attention to the conference in order to know what kinds of things were discussed actually,and what kinds of things were decided at the conference.

Then the Japanese minister turned up as if he had been very drunken,so the foreign media reported he was a drunken minister.

《Did he drink with medicine?》

As to the last comment of this thread,I made a mistake,for I shouldn't have made such a short comment. I'm sure I lost one thread. To my sorrow,I can't recognize it until now. Do I become senile?

Nakagawa minister said that he had cold and took a medicine for cold too much but he drank too much the previous night of the press conference,in addition he seemed to drink a glass of wine a little at lunchtime just before the press conference.

If taking a medicine with liquor,it frequently works too much and we are only half conscious,so he shouldn't have taken the medicine with liquor in the occasion of the important meeting.

To make matters worse,the minister loved drinking so much that he would frequently drink,so even if he made an excuse,“I'm not drunken.”,almost of anyone didn't trust in him. As a result others said,“When showing up at the press conference,he was drunken.”

Even if it's an official place,it's …

《When being drunken,no one should turn up in front of others.》

Even if it's an official place and he was the minister,it's just that he was drunken,but it seemed that everyone condemned him for that. Why?

We often see an official worker who is drunken on its way back home at night in Japan. When drinking and showing up in front of others,it isn't shameful of us in the least in Japan,but it is in the Occident.

There are plenty of the Occidents who are easy to break down the liquor in the body. Even if they drink,the Occident can't be easily drunken like the Japnese. To begin with,when being drunken so much,if showing up in front of others then,they find it shameful very much.

Lots of the Occident seem to drink wine at lunchtime frequently,but few people walk with unsteady in official place then. In short Japan is different from the Occident on the idea of the liquor,so they make fun of Nakagawa minister in a news program oversea,they called…

《When being drunken,no one should turn up in front of others.》

As for the one who is engaged in an important duty,especially a statesman,without being able to control its physical condition,others criticize it,“Without being able to controlling itself,it can't control its nation.”

The minister seemed to be drunken clearly at the press conference,but none of the Japanese reporters asked him on any question on his physical condition,for the Japanese reporters were always get used to seeing him being drunken so much that they didn't like feeling asking him,foreign people criticized the Japnese reporters like that.

As the press conference was broadcast as it was,even the reporters who were close to the minister stood by and watched the minister ended up being criticizing. We have been in the time just now.

The appointment of a retiring governmet official to an importatnt post in an industry controlled by his former industry had been always to apt to be a question,but it would be abolished and a system of introduction of getting a new job again for a former government official is the reformation on the system of official employees.

How and when would the reformation be carried out? Its work schedule has been set up February in 2009. There are the people who retires from a government office like the Ministry of Agriculture,Forestry,and Fisheries or other Ministry of Land,Infrastructure,and Transport.

《The appointment of a retiring government official to an important post in an industry controlled by his former ministry is abolished and a new rule for a getting job has been established.》

The government office is as if it were the heaven for the people who are in the company which receives direction from the government office. When they enter in a private enterprise,other feel as if they got out of the heaven,so the phrase was born,though the noble-minded people who live in the heaven won’t take or receive bribe at all,I’m sure.

There is an examination to be a national civil service personnel. The ones who passed the hardest exam are adopted in the central government office. They will be promoted rapidly,but there had been custom like the next.

…for the human relations become strain so much,for the administrative vice-minister finds it hard to do his job because of the others at the same period are its subordinates. Then the companit’s which the ones resign the ministry halfway enter becomes an issue.

The government office used to introduce the ones who resigned the ministry a new place where they work again. They were companies which receive direction or subsidy from the government office. It means that the government office offered lots of subsidy or aid so as to prevent the companies from going bankrupt.

In short,the ones offer the excessive aids and subsidy have wanted to enter the companies in the future,so if the companies go bankrupt,they would be in difficulty. As a result…

As a result,the government office had learned to show undue partiality to 依怙贔屓 a specific company. The system which prevents the undue partiality is the reformation on the system of official employees,but if the government office introduces a new job,the former civil servants tend to get a job in the specific company,so a new organization has been established,through which the whole government official gets job again.

Some of them received the retirement money of which total amount is no less than ￥millions,and they seemed to be usual.It was so impatial and was lacking in common decency that what is called 渡り was also stopped.

At present each government office had adopted its staff separately. Then the national civil service should have been the one who serves the whole nation,but it had thought over the profit alone on its own government office. Some people criticized like that.

As a result an organization which adopted the whole national public servant or is in charge of the personnel matters. The organization lumped them together. The organization could decide on the personal changes on the national public service,so the personal changes among different government offices …
