Conservatives vs Liberals

Tokyo, Kyoto, Hitotsubashi
What's this?
This is similar to Harvard, Stanford, Priceton, in USA or Oxbridge, Redbricks in the UK.
Tokyo, Kyoto, Hitotsubashi are national universities and most competitive in Japan, national university is regarded as most competitive and prestigeous, it is not difficult to just enter the private university if you are rich, but in the case of national universities, no money can buy to pass the entrance examination..
Among many graduates, graduates from the University of Tokyo are most conservative, and buraucratic, authoritative so almost all the members of the House of the Representatives are opposing to the privatisation of national postal services. Indeed spectacular to see virtually all the graduates are opposing. They all are indeed representing state socialism tainted by a strong influence of buraucrats.
On the other hands, it is rare to see the member of the House of the Representatives graduated from Kyoto University, Kyoto has been regarded as a symbol of anti-power, many graduates don't go to the politics but goes to academics. The influence of socialism/communism was( or is ) very strong.
Hitotsubashi University is a citadel of business world, until recently it is regarded less important as opposed to the University of Tokyo in real politics and to Kyoto University in academy.
Mr Heizo Takenaka is a minister for privatisation of postal services. He is a graduate from Hitotsubashi University.
