<h2> He is furious that the three-party agreement has not been met.</h2>
 Yuichiro Tamaki, leader of the People&#8217;s Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), is facing a critical moment.
 Tamaki is currently suspended from his post due to an affair with a former gradol. The suspension is expected to be lifted in early March.

 The National Democratic Party of Japan quadrupled its seats in the lower house in last year&#8217;s lower house election and was said to hold the political casting vote. Its key policy was the elimination of the so-called &#8220;1,030,000 yen barrier. He was supported by the public and was gaining momentum, but recently there have been whispers in political circles that Tamaki will be &#8220;neutralized.
 A source in the Nagata-cho district revealed as much.
 Last month, the Japanese people held talks with both the Liberal Democratic Party and the Public Sector Party and agreed to raise the 1,030,000 yen barrier to 1,780,000 yen. In response, the people agreed to the supplementary budget proposal, but then the autocrats &#8220;backtracked&#8221; with a proposal to raise the barrier from 1,030,000 yen to 1,230,000 yen. The government is now discussing a plan to raise the amount from 1,030,000 yen to 1,230,000 yen.

 Mr. Tamaki responded, &#8220;It does not satisfy the three-party agreement.
 Tamaki was furious, saying, &#8220;This is not in accordance with the three-party agreement.
 Tamaki was furious, saying, &#8220;This does not meet the three-party agreement.
 According to the DPJ&#8217;s proposal, a salaried worker with an annual income of 3 million yen would see a tax cut of 110,000 yen per year, but the ruling party&#8217;s proposal would only cut taxes by about 10,000 yen per year. The ruling party has no intention of increasing the take-home pay of the people.
 The ruling party is not interested in increasing the take-home pay of the people,&#8221; he protested.

Tamaki was understandably angry that the ladder had been removed, but the ruling party had a &#8220;hidden gem.
 The Japan Innovation Party. A source in Nagata-cho mentioned above said
 &#8220;We approached the Restoration Association in parallel with the National Democratic Party of Japan. If we include language in the FY 2013 budget regarding the &#8220;free education&#8221; demanded by the Restoration Association, we believe we will be able to obtain their approval for the budget proposal. In other words, we will be able to run the government without the help of the KDP.
 He also said, &#8220;We are not sure if the government will be able to manage without the help of the National Democratic Party.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 According to a poll conducted by NNN and the Yomiuri Shimbun, 68% of respondents &#8220;approve&#8221; of the revision of the 1,030,000 yen barrier, but 66% of respondents &#8220;approve&#8221; of the idea that the range of the increase should be decided in consideration of financial resources.　The percentage of respondents who &#8220;agree&#8221; was 66%, much higher than the 23% who &#8220;do not agree&#8221;.
 This is a headache for Mr. Tamaki, who is pushing for 1.78 million yen. He will have to compromise somewhere.
 Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who advocates regional development, cannot accept the &#8220;people&#8217;s plan,&#8221; which would reduce tax revenues by 7 to 8 trillion yen for the national and local governments. Even within the party, there are many voices saying that the 600 billion yen for the Ishin&#8217;s free education program would be &#8220;cheaper.
<h2> Behind the Scenes: Bargaining for the Summer Upper House Election</h2>
 Prime Minister Ishiba appeared live on BS Fuji&#8217;s &#8220;Live Prime News&#8221; broadcast on January 6. From the audience
 This is not the time for the Diet to be in a state of confusion over a small issue like the 1,030,000 yen barrier. The biggest problem is the declining birthrate, isn&#8217;t it?
 In response to the question, &#8220;Isn&#8217;t the biggest problem the declining birthrate?
 &#8220;Yes, that&#8217;s right.
 He immediately answered, &#8220;That&#8217;s right.
 I believe that the most important issue for Japan is the declining birthrate, and the essence of the declining birthrate is the declining marriage rate.
 I believe that the most important problem for Japan is the declining birthrate.
 Tamaki&#8217;s impatience is evident in this move.

 Even though his position has been suspended, he has been sending out information via social networking services, but he says he is very irritated with the way the media is reporting the news.
 He says, &#8220;I work with &#8216;volunteers&#8217; on social networking sites to check every day for biased reporting. I also do my own ego-searching. He has issued a series of protests against reports that seriously damage the party&#8217;s reputation.
 Late last month, he responded to a comment made by Toru Tamagawa on TV Asahi&#8217;s &#8220;Morning Show&#8221; with an X
 I think the one-sided reporting lacks balance, and I feel it is malicious manipulation of impressions.
 I feel it is malicious manipulation of impressions,&#8221; he complained.
 If one-sided criticism continues, I think it is contrary to the purpose of Article 4 of the Broadcasting Law, which states, &#8220;On issues where there are conflicting opinions, the point of contention should be clarified from as many angles as possible.
 He brought up the Broadcasting Law, and his former comrade, Shiori Kanno, responded to him with the following comment
 I don&#8217;t want Mr. Tamaki to be a politician who criticizes the media by bringing up Article 4 of the Broadcasting Law. Please be sensitive to the Constitution.
 He admonished her. A reporter in charge of politics at a national newspaper said, &#8220;I am going to run for the House of Councillors in the summer.
 The bargaining for the House of Councillors election in the summer has already begun. If the &#8220;1,030,000 yen barrier&#8221; debate continues to stall, Tamaki will go into the election campaign as &#8220;the man who failed to accomplish anything. If this happens, he could lose the election, which would be a complete change from the lower house election. The voters will be very critical. Even within the ruling party, there are calls for taking this opportunity to reduce Tamaki&#8217;s power.
 In politics, results are everything. Will Tamaki be able to overcome this adversity?
