No.1509 / Oct./ 26 / 2025
The far-right Takaichi-LDP and Ishin reactionary government has just started.
--- It is a reactionary government set free.
On the 21st, the coalition government of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) led by Sanae Takaichi and the Japan Innovation Party (JIP)was formed.
Although the JIP will cooperate from outside the cabinet without sending ministers, the LDP and the JIP, which share the same national vision, are alike.
The bills and policies to be submitted in near future are likely to be a list of unacceptable measures that are reactionary and impose burdens and sacrifices on workers. For Takaichi, who 'sealed' her own views during the party leadership election, the Innovation Party is the best partner to implement her policies.

No.1508 / Oct./ 12 / 2025
In the Liberal Democratic Party leadership election. (LDP).
The LDP that reverted to its ancestors and chose Sanae Takaichi.
--- The ruling coalition of the LDP and Komeito, along with the Democratic Party for the People, face rapidly changing and urgent developments.
In the LDP presidential election held on the 4th, October, five candidates—Takaichi, Koizumi, Hayashi, Motegi, and Kobayashi—ran, and contrary to expectations, Takaichi was elected.
It is said that this was because the Aso faction swung their support to Takaichi, who had received many local party member votes (securing 40% of the party member votes) in the runoff, and while the LDP was shouting for a 'rebirth of the party,' it gave the impression of relying on the old-fashioned factional politics.
And out of the 47 prefectures, 36 prefectural branches chose the right-wing candidate Takaichi.
The LDP, having had votes taken by the Sanseitō Party, is trying to dispel suspicions that 'the LDP is leaning to the left,' through the right-wing Takaichi.

--- Aims to revive its party influence through the 'Deputy Capital Plan'.

No.1507 / Sep./ 28 / 2025
The Liberal Democratic Party's(LDP’s) leadership election begins.
--- That's a power struggle that ignores the voters’ will.

The election campaign to decide on the new leader of the LDP has begun.
The announcement is on September 22, and the vote counting is on October 4.
The five who have stepped forward are Shinjiro Koizumi, Sanae Takaichi, Yoshimasa Hayashi, Toshimitsu Motegi, and Takayuki Kobayashi, all of whom were candidates in last year's presidential election.
Despite the LDP pledging to 'rebuild itself from scratch' after falling to a minority in the House of Councilors following the House of Representatives, none of the five candidates show any reflection on the criticism from voters who rejected the LDP government.

Don't forgive Netanyahu for rushing to wipe out Gaza!

No.1506 / Sep./ 14 / 2025
Let's denounce the Liberal Democratic Party for passing the regime around!
--- They are planning to prolong their regime by changing the president.

On September 7th, Ishiba announced his resignation as the president of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) at a press conference.
This is a resignation announcement with two years remaining in the term.
Regarding the responsibility for the major defeat in the House of Councilors election, voices demanding the resignation of President Ishiba have been raised from the former Abe faction and from mid-level and younger groups.
Ishiba opposed this demand, but he had no choice but to accept it despite his resistance.
However, the criticism from the electorate that led to the defeat in the elections was directed not only at the Ishiba administration but at the entire LDP.
That responsibility should be borne not only by Ishiba but by the entire Liberal Democratic Party.
Trying to maintain power by replacing the president is a cowardly tactic for prolonging the life of the LDP.
Where will the Sanseito go by distorting the history

No.1505 / Aug./ 24 / 2025
The ruling parties’ measures against rising prices deepen contradictions.
--- Hopeless opposition parties’ that follow the government.

The ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito suffered a major defeat in the House of Councilors election on July 20, falling to minority the ruling parties’ in the House of Councilors following the House of Representatives.
One of the issues in the House of Councilors election is the measures against rising prices, where the ruling parties’'benefits payment' and the opposition's 'tax cuts' are in conflict, and the realization of these policies is currently being debated.
Let's consider the economic policies regarding rising prices and the monetary policy of the Bank of Japan, which was not brought up as an issue in the House of Councilors election.
"What does 'Japanese First' mean?"
--- It is an exclusionary ideology that prioritizes Japanese people, which leads to 'national ego'.
