- In the Lower House
plenary session, the revision of the Public Officers Election
Act bill, which contains the introduction of "non-restraining
list" at the Upper House election, is steamrollered by the
three ruling parties today.
- It was an outrage
that the ruling parties steamrollered the bill only by three
days at the Lower House plenary session without performing meaning
explanation and an interpellation, following the steamrolling
in the House of Councilors. This should not be accepted.
- The reform of the
election system which is the basis of parliamentary democracy
should be determined after earnest and sufficient argument among
the governing and opposition parties based on the understanding
of people. However, this election law revision is suddenly proposed
by the target from the party interests by the side of the governing
party, and cannot obtain understanding of people at all.
- RENGO faces calmly
the reality in which the Upper House election based on the revising
system is carried out in the summer of next year. And in order
to secure the stability of workers' life and the relief of the
future and also to recover the democracy of Japan that has lapsed
into the critical situation, RENGO expresses its determination
to support the opposition parties including the Democratic Party
in the next summer's election.
