Infighting within the Kishida administration! LDP Secretary General Gohara Koichi accuses the Japan Innovation Party of forcing a reduction in the number of legislators!
Regarding the Japan Innovation Party's persistent demands for reducing the number of legislators, Acting Secretary General Gohara Koichi stated that this is a theme related to the basic principles of democratic governance, and it should not be simply decided by majority vote, and stated that the LDP will consult with the opposition parties to reach a consensus on this issue.
"Although it is a two-party agreement with the Innovation Party, simply reducing 50 seats with a 'no' is very crude. The discussion on building a democratic society must involve all parties and factions, and the maximum common divisor must be formulated; it should not be decided by a majority vote."
Gohara clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Japan Innovation Party's persistent pressure: "This year is the census year, and we must carry out institutional reforms using the latest data. Isn't it acceptable to have a slight time lag in confirming the direction and design of the system?"
