Chi controlla davvero l’economia del Giappone?



Chi controlla davvero l’economia del Giappone?

Japan’s ruling party is facing a wave of criticism following a controversial interview with a top tax official, a series of nationwide protests, and a stimulus proposal that quickly backfired. In this video, we explore everything from the growing support for lowering consumption taxes to the public outcry that forced the LDP to reconsider its stimulus check plan.

From rising anti-establishment sentiment to behind-the-scenes tax decisions, this might be a turning point in Japanese politics—and a revealing look at why so many are losing faith in the current system.

    First, I guess?

    I’d still like to know the stances on social issues parties have in Japan. If the United States has taught me anything, it’s that a focus on economic security can lead to people to ignore everything else in an election for the worst. If the protests are still more aimed at the Financial Ministry rather than the Liberal Democratic Party, might be time to examine the type of people leading the protests. Get people on your side via the economy and you’ll basically have permission to do whatever else you want.

    It would also be interesting to hear how the Osaka Expo is affecting the Innovation Party and how Trump’s Tariffs are impacting Japanese politics. The man’s basically declared a trade war on the world unless countries make some unfair deals with him, something Japan at best seems to be on the fence about since Ishida doesn’t seem to have completely bowed to him yet, but has already taken off the option of hitting back.

    立憲民主党の現党首野田氏は過去に首相を経験していて消費税増税を行った
    これは立憲民主党の執行部が財務省の影響下にあることを意味している

    最大与党の自民党の総理である石破氏と最大野党の党首である野田氏の両方ともが財務省の影響下にある
    自民党の長期政権が盤石であった理由は自民党と立憲民主党が政治を行ってるフリを続けてきたからだ

    それが近年のSNSの発達によって国民が気づき始めた
    自分たちの手で政治を変えなければいけないことに

    Sounds like a storyline from Killer7. But in all seriousness I am completely shocked that both The Lockheed scandal (ロッキード事件) and The Recruit scandal (リクルー事件) didn't completely destroy the LDP altogether

    no stimulus…let the coutnry collapse & have the reckless squeezed out the market & a turnover in leadership…a bailout is a dumb idea…

    The LDP are like an amoeba. They've survived far longer than they probably should have, and if you press them on one side, they'll simply pop out on another. Their factionalism has allowed them to survive. A scandal would, in the past, simply take down the faction dominant at that moment and other factions would simply take over. The problem is that, since Abe left office, multiple factions have essentially imploded. There really isn't a faction, or a coalition of factions, able to steer the LDP effectively. They've also essentially alienated the entire under-50 vote in Japan. The CDP are a shape-shifter party. Each failed opposition party simply morphs into another incarnation, the CDP are simply the most recent one. When there are several imploding opposition parties, different factions simply join up with the main opposition party and form another, which will also implode. I'm simply happy that the DPP and Reiwa are able to shake things up, the Innovation Party have a lot of good qualities, but they lack any depth of vision outside Kansai. Although I prefer the DPP, my own politics because closer to the DPP, Reiwa are serving an important role by bringing up points that the CDP should, but can't.
