Tamaki’s “National Democratic Party of Japan” plummets, but Shinjiro’s popularity soars… “Surprising Talent Candidate” the LDP is hanging on to in the chaotic July Upper House election.

The easy-to-understand phrase, “5 kilograms, 2,000 yen,” became popular.
The “atmosphere” in Nagata-cho is changing just before the Upper House election in July.
Until then, a major breakthrough was assured for the KDP led by Yuichiro Tamaki, 56, under the banner of “increasing take-home pay,” but now a headwind is blowing.
The stinging began when the DPJ announced the official approval of four members for proportional representation in the Upper House election: Shizuri Yamao, a former member of the House of Representatives; Yasushi Adachi, a former member of the House of Representatives; Genki Sudo, a former member of the House of Councillors; and Michiyo Yakushiji, a former member of the House of Councillors. The party’s support rate fell 2 to 5 points in polls conducted by various companies, as the party was criticized by its old supporters for the rowdy behavior of these members.
In the supplementary election for the Wako City Council held on May 18, a new female candidate lost the election. The party’s popularity has also been affected by the local elections, in which it had been on a winning streak simply because it was the “People’s Democratic Party. According to a reporter in the political section of a national newspaper,
Of the four, I would have to say that Mr. Yamao is the best. The impact of the past affair reports was so great that social networking sites were in a state of confusion. Even an official of the National Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) admits that he did not expect the backlash to be this strong: “I didn’t expect it to be this strong (……).
The KDP officials also admit that they did not expect the backlash, saying, “It was unexpected.
In addition, Shinjiro Koizumi, 44, was appointed to replace former Agriculture Minister Taku Eto, 64, to deal with soaring rice prices.
Koizumi, 44, is the self-proclaimed “minister in charge of rice,” and has announced a new method of releasing stockpiled rice and decided that the government will sell it to retailers at its discretion under a voluntary contract. The Rakuten Group, Aeon, Iris Oyama, Sandoz, FamilyMart, and others have come forward to operate the major discount store Don Quijote. He also used the easy-to-understand phrase, “5 kilograms for 2,000 yen.
Whether or not it was a good idea to enter into a voluntary contract remains to be seen,” he said. Nevertheless, the public is taking a positive view of Shinjiro’s speedy response. This is different from the days when he was teased as ‘Shinjiro Syntax’ or ‘Poemer’ for his unintelligible delivery. He failed to produce results in last year’s LDP presidential election, but now he has a chance to turn things around. If he can make a difference on the rice issue, he should emerge as the “post-Ishiba” candidate.
Meanwhile, Mr. Tamaki of the People’s Democratic Party of Japan, in a question at the House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries on May 28, said of the stockpiled rice, “If it remains in storage for another year, it will be used to feed animals.
“We were planning to use the stockpiled rice as animal feed after one more year,” he said.
He stated that the stockpiled rice was to be used as animal feed after one more year. While it is true that stockpiled rice will be converted to animal feed after five years, it is undeniable that this statement lacks consideration from the consumer’s point of view. Mr. Shinjiro also commented on this.
Mr. Shinjiro also expressed his disappointment, saying, “It’s a little disappointing at a time when we are working on the proper way to discharge this waste.
This is a disappointment at a time when we are working on the proper way to discharge the waste.
The theme of the Upper House election has shifted from tax cuts to the “rice issue.
This gaffe caused a firestorm on the Internet. Kenta Izumi, former representative of the opposition Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), stated in an X
The stockpiled rice is an important staple food that we, the people, will eat from now on. It is not appropriate to use the phrase “animal feed after one year” in this situation. I would like to ask you to change it.
Tamaki was quick to point out that “it’s a misunderstanding. Tamaki has repeatedly explained the situation by saying, “It’s a misunderstanding,” but a source in Nagata-cho said, “Tamaki’s self-destructive.
Tamaki’s self-destruction. Now the wind has changed.
However, according to a source in Nagata-cho, with the Upper House election in mind, “Tamaki’s self-destruction has changed the winds.
To Shinjiro’s credit, he changed the theme of the Upper House election from tax cuts to the issue of rice. He is a ‘savior’ for Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru, whose approval rating is slumping.
Nevertheless, there is still one month to go before the Upper House election. However, there is still a month to go before the Upper House election, and it is likely that there will be some upheaval in the selection of candidates from each party. A reporter for a national newspaper reveals in a low voice: “In the past two months, the Nagata-cho area has been in a state of flux.
He was seen frequently in Nagata-cho in the past two months,” said a reporter for a national newspaper, “and he is a professional wrestler. He was with a member of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), so he might be ……. He said about running for office, ‘It will cause trouble for my sponsors. He has been restraining the media, saying, ‘If I write about it, I won’t allow it,’ but he seems highly motivated to run.
Another “unexpected female celebrity” that the LDP is planning to field is also said to be in the works.
In an effort to break the Restoration Party’s ground, the LDP in Osaka is now considering Ms. B, a female celebrity who has made her big break with her silly character. She and her husband get along well, and last month a meeting, including a “physical examination,” was held at a Diet member’s office building. It seems clear that she is interested in politics, but she has not yet decided whether to run for office. He is very well known as a TV personality, but when it comes to elections, he is something else. His siblings are also celebrities, and he is very popular in his hometown of Osaka, so if he comes to give a speech in support, it would be a big ‘reinforcement’ for him,” said another political insider.
The future is always dark in Nagata-cho. Even if the KDP stalls and Shinjiro is in an upswing mood, it is possible that other winds will blow again in the selection of candidates. What will happen?
