Ishiba pod presją, by ustąpić

LDP jest w trudnej sytuacji. Partia zdołała utrzymać poparcie tylko w najstarszych kohortach wiekowych, a to oznacza, że chociaż starsze roczniki są liczniejsze i charakteryzują się większą partycypacją w wyborach, to czas nieubłaganie gra przeciwko LDP.

Shigeru Ishiba w tarapatach

Ishiba to przypadkowy premier, a teraz wpadł na polityczną minę, kiedy jedna z gazet ujawniła, że wręczył bony podarunkowe początkującym parlamentarzystom LDP.

Candidates for the Liberal Democratic Party's Sept. 27 presidential election face two basic, but politically difficult, choices about the country’s energy future: They determine what role nuclear power plays in the government's long-term strategy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/19/japan/politics/ldp-energy/ #japan #politics #ldp #shigeruishiba #shinjirokoizumi #tarokono #toshimitsumotegi #yoshimasahayashi #yokokamikawa #takayukikobayashi #sanaetakaichi #katsunobukato

Kto zostanie japońskim premierem?

Do wyborów wewnętrznych rządzącej Partii Liberalno-Demokratycznej stanęła rekordowa liczba dziewięciu kandydatów. Lokalne media spekulują, że zwycięzca ogłosi przedterminowe wybory już pod koniec października lub na początku listopada.

Moim zdaniem wyścig rozstrzygnie się jednak w trójkącie: Koizumi, Ishiba i Kamikawa, która jest postrzegana jako zręczna przywódczyni, aspirująca do bycia mentorką młodszych polityczek. Koizumi może być za młody i budzić obawy establishmentu, że zdominuje partię na długie lata. Ishiba może mieć problemy z dojściem do szerszego elektoratu poza partią.
