On the 15th, comedian Ryo Fukawa (50) appeared live as a commentator on Tokyo MX’s new program “Hori Jun Live Junction” (Monday to Friday 6:00 pm) and appealed to young people to vote ahead of the House of Representatives election (voting on the 27th). The House of Representatives election was announced on this day, and the election campaign began. Across the country, party leaders made their first speeches. The program spoke to young people in Tokyo who have the right to vote. The voices picked up by the program were all reluctant to vote, with comments such as, “I might go with my mother or someone else if she goes, but I don’t think I would go on my own two feet,” and “Even if I don’t understand politics, I still go to school and work every day, and my daily life continues unchanging.” When asked for his opinion, Fukasawa sounded a warning, saying, “You may not feel that your one vote will make a difference right now, but there is a possibility that the world will become irreversible in 10 or 20 years.” He also said, “It is possible that this peace and democracy could change without us noticing, so in that sense, I would like people to think of the right to vote as a precious thing that our predecessors won.”
>>1 If we go to the polls and the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Social Democratic Party, the Communist Party, and the Reiwa Wa Party become the ruling party, will that mean that in 10 or 20 years, something irreversible will happen?
Since the elderly who vote tend to vote for the party that will benefit them, politicians also favor the elderly, and it’s only natural that young people who don’t vote are treated poorly.
If young people go to vote, nothing good will come of it. They’ll vote for people like Garcy or YouTubers who cause controversy, and it will be irreversible.
Stop announcing a winner at 8 o’clock when 0% of the votes have been counted. That’s so boring. When you vote on the edge of winning or losing in a city/ward/town/council election, you can really feel the weight of your vote.
To be honest, voting in elections is a waste of time. If you have time, use it “effectively” for your hobbies and leisure. “What will change if I vote alone? Think about it carefully. In fact, no matter which party takes power, Japan’s future is over.”
Of course there are options that could make things worse than they are now. I wonder if the fantasy of a change of government is something only people born in the Showa era have.
You’ll vote when you’re older anyway, so go when you’re young and get used to it. If you’re over 30 and you say “I’m not going to vote because elections are pointless,” people around you will laugh at you.
>>41 > You’ll vote when you’re older anyway, so go when you’re young and get used to it > If you’re over 30 and you say “I’m not going to vote because elections are meaningless,” people around you will laugh at you I imagine that people who brag about things like this are the ones voting for Reiwa, the Communist Party, and the Social Democratic Party lol.
Young people no longer have the sense that what happens in the world, other than the direct damage caused by natural disasters, is decided by the politicians they elect.
If you have time to go vote, use it to find out where you should move to. If you have children, “if you have time to go vote, make them study English.” I recommend Singapore.
>>48 Singapore is crazy. You get the death penalty just for smuggling drugs. And you’re executed immediately. It would be awful if you were framed as a drug courier.
