Now the major concern is who is coming next after Prime Minister Fukuda suddenly resigned. Again, I felt disgusted wondering what politics had been to Fukuda and Abe when I read about the background of Fukuda's resignation on newspaper. Anyway, back to the main story:
In the Lower House election in autumn 2005, the ruling party won a landslide victory because many voters voted for them. So did the governor of a prefecture who is also a lawyer and an entertainer. And the result is current situation, for better or for worse
. Often, politics sounds like something beyond the reach, but election is one of the opportunity we can indicate our intentions. If politicians or political parties I had voted for turned out to be disappointing, I would not vote for them or these political parties next. However, if I voted for someone or a political party just because they were popular or well-known, or thinking "You can't fight city hall", those disappointing results would be partly because I vote for them.
In short, all I want to say is: Be sure to vote at the next election
to make the most of opportunity we can indicate our intentions.
