As Shizuka Kame said, Japan's House of Representatives' election system is now imperative. In addition to the United States exerting external pressure, Japan's domestic pressure is also very large.

In the past few decades, Japan has adopted the central electoral district system in the House of Representatives election system. Under this election system, elections are not carried out at the center of political parties, but individuals. In other words, who can be elected and who cannot be elected depends only on the candidate's own charm, not the power of the party.

The direct result of this is that the elected members of the House do not care much about the interests of the political party, they care more about their own interests, and at the same time, they are not very restricted by the political party.

Similarly, in order to win the election, these candidates cannot rely solely on the power of political parties, and they also need to find their own political donor providers, which also creates the best conditions for the breeding of corruption.

Another point is that once a candidate wins, in order to maintain his or her status, he or she will become a faction within the party. After all, in the same constituency, there may be competitors from the same party, so factional struggles within the party are inevitable.

Due to the corruption of the Liberal Democratic Party in the past few decades, from the Black Mist incident to the Lockheed incident, to the not-to-date Kanemaru Nobuna scandal, these scandals have reached a peak in the Japanese people's dissatisfaction with the Liberal Democratic Party, and at the same time, they are also extremely disappointed with Japanese politics.

This year's national election has hit the lowest point in Japan's post-war turnout, which is the most obvious evidence

Also, whether it is within the Liberal Democratic Party or within the seven parties and one faction, the young and strong political forces are also actively seeking ways to reform politically. These people's voices are not only getting louder, but also tend to unite with the left-wing forces.

In order to avoid a more complex situation, even stubborn conservatives like Shizuka Kamei are unwilling to create obstacles to the reform of the election system, and they are also worried about being hit from all aspects.

Of course, the reason why Americans promote Japan's political reform is not to make Japan's so-called political clarity happen. Washington's purpose of actively promoting Japan's electoral system reform is also to break the long-term situation of the Liberal Democratic Party's one-party rule. For this reason, they even hope to see the situation where the Social Democratic Party comes to power and rule.

Why?

It's very simple, because over the years, the Liberal Democratic Party has become increasingly disobedient.

Especially with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, new contents of competition and confrontation began to be added to the alliance between Japan and the United States. The Liberal Democratic Party’s position on Japan’s policy of protecting its own economy has become increasingly tougher.

For example, the long-standing trade frictions and economic disputes between the two countries have all caused damage to the economic interests of the United States. In the State of the Union address last year, the United States clearly stated: It is the Japanese economy that modernizes and can win the competition with the United States economy. It is the dominant system of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party.

Want Japan's economy to win in competition with the US economy?

This is simply outrageous. Therefore, breaking the situation where the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party dominates has become the most priority for the United States to exert influence on Japan.

However, on the issue of House of Representatives' electoral system reform, the Japanese financial and business circles have the opposite attitude. They clearly oppose this form of political reform. Therefore, only the many right-wing groups in Japan that accept their domination have recently come out to cause trouble.

What is the reason for this?

It's very simple, because in the new House of Representatives' election system rules, there is something that is very fatal to them, that is, to change the original central electoral district system to the central electoral district system and the small electoral system. At the same time, the old political donation system will be banned, and the election funds will be distributed by the same public funds.

The emergence of this rule is equivalent to cutting off the financial world. The business world extends its tentacles to the political world, which also makes the latter lose its control over politicians, and will also affect the influence of those consortiums and business groups on politics.

However, under the current situation, it is difficult for both the financial and business worlds to exert their power, because the Americans really have to deal with them.

How strict are Americans now on Japanese politics? The ambassadors to Japan have begun to personally interview relevant politicians. Who dares to jump out and cause trouble at this time?

In his previous life, Miyashita Kita didn't have that clear view of the problem. Now, he is in such an atmosphere and has learned more about the inside story. Only then did he realize one thing, that is, after the Japanese bubble economy, it took ten years...

No, it should be said that it is a 20-year economic stagnation. In fact, it is not simply an economic problem. The reason is really too complicated.

When a country is politically fully dominated by another country, how can the country's economic strength be stronger than the latter?

The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the superstructure reacts to the economic foundation. This rule is truly a truth, and it is applicable to all over the world.

Americans know your existence, Shizuka Kame leaned on her chair and continued, they were staring at you, and they were staring at your business, they warned me to keep a distance from you, suggesting that you may be involved in a large amount of international money laundering activities

Miyashita Kita smiled and said: They probably have no evidence, otherwise, they would not be hints. After all, that's an American, and their style of conduct has never been given priority.

I just remind you to be careful. Shizuka Kamei agrees with his opinion. The best choice is to find a way to contact them and not consider any nationality issues. Those things are too ethereal.

Going away from his mother's national character, Kita Kitani sneered in his heart. Could it be that I would have any patriotic feelings towards Japan?

I just haven't found an opportunity now. If I can find an opportunity to join the Americans, it's okay to let me choose to ced Tokyo to the United States.

When will the Congressional vote be set for political system reform? Didn't continue to talk about Americans, Miyashita Kita asked

It should be early September, Shizuka Kame said that there are still many oppositions now. Some people have unstable positions, especially those left-wing MPs, including the Communist Party. They are always unconventional. If most people support them, they oppose that this vote must be passed at one time and cannot be entangled. Otherwise, more people will sway their positions.

You can't underestimate those in the financial and business world. If you think that their ability is to provoke some right-wing groups to cause trouble, it is a big mistake. They have money, and in Japan, money can do a lot of things.

As Shizuka Kame said, the vote on political reform must be passed in Congress at one time, and it must be recognized by more than two-thirds of the seats for the first time. If it cannot be passed for the first time, then many people who originally voted in favor may retreat. After all, who can't love money?

Some people may ask, since the reform of the House of Representatives' electoral system will have an impact on the Liberal Democratic Party's one-party dominance, why did Shizuka Kame express her approval?

The reason is very simple, not only because he is under pressure from the United States, but also because he already has support from Kita Kita of Miyashita.

Although the new electoral system has banned political donations from large enterprises and consortiums, it has not banned private political donations. Although this part of cash has an upper limit and the upper limit is relatively low, it has not banned the use of party-produced funds.

Kitaki Miyashita has a large amount of party assets in the Liberal Democratic Party's black gold era, and he can ensure sufficient supply of campaign funds within the Liberal Democratic Party.

Furthermore, the new electoral system aims to eliminate disputes among the party factions and highlight the existence of political parties in the election. The faction led by Shizuka Kamei now has a strong voice within the Liberal Democratic Party. Once the faction's power is weakened, his status should be highlighted to a greater extent. Therefore, he has reason to support such reforms.

Do I need something to do? Miyashita Kita asked while playing with a cigar

Now, we should find a way to calm the guys on the right wing. Shizuka Kame turned her head and placed the cigar in her hand on the armrest of the chair. She struggled to stand up and said, "It's best if you can do it, I'm going to go to the bathroom..."

As he spoke, he was about to walk in the direction of the villa. But after walking two steps, he turned back and took a new cigar directly from the cigar box, and then he left with his fat body shaking.

Watching his figure disappear into the entrance of the villa, Miyashita Kita threw the cigar in his hand aside, stood up with his hands pressed on his knees, and made two chest expansion moves, squinted his eyes and looked around.

They are all a group of people who are drunk and dreaming!

Looking at the debauchery scenes around, Kita Kitani secretly sneered in his heart. He felt that since the bursting of the bubble economy, the entire Japan, whether in politics or in any other world, and even ordinary people, had begun to become degenerate.

Japan could say no back then, not only inspired the pride of the Japanese, but also made them become arrogant. Among the people, there was a sense of arrogance that Japan had become the world's strongest country and could say no to anyone.

In their eyes, all countries in Asia are poor neighbors, and Europeans are nothing great. They are ready to compete with the United States, but reality will eventually tell them that abnormal countries are always abnormal countries. The strong economic strength does not mean the strength of the country

They will wake up from the false Japanese dream
