Recurrence To Conservatism

The last election for the member of the House of Representative (Lower House) was fought in a sigle issue -whether we privatise the Post, overwhelming majority voted for the privatisation including me. Japanese people were fanatic without thinking about the consequencies seriously. Then gigantic ruling party appeared. Now former premier was gone. At the beginning of new prime minister, many laws were through the Diet. Corporation tax is cut, income tax is up. Consumption tax will be raised drastically in a few years. Walfare is cut. Defence Agency becomes the Ministry of Defence, the fundamental law of education is changed, which become more conservative than before.
Furthermore the constitution will be changed. The article No.9-2 that declares the abandonment of war will be changed particularly. Japan will be able to hold military. Japan's self defence force will be Japanese Army again.
