Ishiba Cabinet members say， “I don’t think the approval rating will go up，” and “There’s not a single person I want to come and support us in the election．”
“I don’t think my approval rating will go up,” “There’s not a single person I want to come and support me in the election,” said Ishiba, the new president of the Liberal Democratic Party, who has decided to dissolve the House of Representatives on October 9th and hold the vote on the 27th. (Report from Murakawa Hitoshi, Political Affairs Department) The reason behind the rush to dissolve the Diet is that “we don’t want to show any losses, and we want to hold an election while there is still hope.” Ishihara has previously indicated his intention to “hold a parliamentary debate with the opposition parties and then ask for their mandate as soon as possible.” However, in order to avoid any gaffes by the new cabinet ministers, the party plans to not hold a budget committee meeting, but instead hold one-on-one discussions between party leaders before proceeding with the dissolution on the 9th. Regarding the official endorsement of lawmakers involved in the hot topic of slush funds, he said he “cannot explain unless I am convinced,” and intends to interview each person individually, and to make a decision together with Koizumi, whom he appointed as election campaign committee chairman. A formal decision on party executive appointments will be made in the afternoon. To provide support, former Prime Minister Suga was appointed deputy president, Aso, who supported Takaichi, was appointed chief advisor, and Finance Minister Suzuki was appointed chairman of the General Affairs Committee, making personnel decisions that took the Aso faction into consideration in order to form a party-wide system. Regarding cabinet appointments, the government plans to maintain the Kishida line, including keeping Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi in his position, and people close to Ishiba have said, “It is important to appoint many veterans and maintain stability.” However, there are already cold voices within the party, such as, “I don’t think his approval rating will go up,” and “There’s not a single person I want to come and support me in the election.” In addition, Takaichi and Kobayashi, who ran in the presidential election, were offered the posts but firmly declined, and other candidates such as Motegi and Kono were left out of important posts, with some complaining that “they kept saying they would place the right people in the right positions, but they weren’t even consulted.” Ishihara plans to announce the dissolution of the Diet in the afternoon, and with the battle now being short, the question is whether he will be able to demonstrate his political stance to the public.
While there is still some expectation — there are no such expectations as LDP lawmakers are just going to lose their jobs in large numbers, so I wonder what they misunderstood lol.
It’s a puppet government created by Soka money and Chinese Communist Party money lol. They used mass media operatives to cheat and made a huge turnaround in the presidential election lol.
I don’t think they are dissolving the party because they think Ishiba can win, but because they can’t win, so they are dissolving it before their weaknesses are exposed.
The Liberal Democratic Party is full of spies from the Chinese Communist Party and North Korea, so let’s say no to them. Let’s crush the spies from the Chinese Communist Party and North Korea.
Stock prices are falling, and as far as I can tell from watching some of the TV news, the media supports Ishiba, so they don’t use negative words like “Ishiba shock” for Ishiba, but they use negative words like “under the table” for LDP lawmakers to differentiate them.
>>34 The deciding factor was the votes of the lawmakers. Takaichi was liked by the public and disliked by the LDP lawmakers. The shitty lawmakers jumped on Ishiba, who offered them a sweet seat where they could get some sweet money.
If Takaichi had become prime minister, she would have had no choice but to appoint members of the Abe faction, and she would have been accused of being a unified, secret-money cabinet, and would have lost the House of Representatives election badly.
