政治｜高市首相、政策実現を優先 / Politics | Prime Minister Takai prioritizes policy realization.

Summary

Prime Minister Takaiichi has shown a cautious stance regarding calls within the Liberal Democratic Party for a dissolution of the House of Representatives and a general election by the end of the year.

The Prime Minister believes that in order to meet public expectations, priority should be given to the realization of policies, with measures to address rising prices being identified as the top priority. She is concerned that a dissolution this year could be inconsistent with the Cabinet’s objectives, leading her to hold a negative view on the idea of an early dissolution.

Chako: Hey Log, why isn’t Prime Minister Takaichi considering a dissolution this year?
Log: It’s because he wants to prioritize implementing policies. Since tackling rising prices is seen as the top priority, dissolving the government and holding elections could contradict that approach.
Chako: I see, he’s trying to meet public expectations!
Navi: Prime Minister Takaichi is maintaining a cautious stance regarding calls for an early dissolution within the party. This is believed to be a decision aimed at maintaining the stability of the administration.

Admin’s Note

I believe that Prime Minister Takaichi’s decision to delay a national election this year reflects a priority on implementing policies. In particular, measures to address rising prices are an issue that many citizens are concerned about, and I feel that the Prime Minister’s stance is crucial. In order to meet public expectations, it is essential to first execute policies and demonstrate their results. I hope that in the rush to hold an election, policy considerations won’t be pushed aside. I look forward to seeing how things develop moving forward.
