I can’t stay away from politics for long, so here’s
another potential teapot style tempest in the DPJ. Yea for party politics!
民主・細野政調会長 勉強会発足 次期代表選向け
民主党の細野政調会長は、次の代表選挙出馬を見据えて、自らのグループを正式に発足させました。細野氏が立ち上げた勉強会には、 約10人の若手議員が集まりました。勉強会では、党内対立で多くの離党者が出たことを受け、党の基本理念を考え直すことにしています。集まった多くは、9 月の代表選挙で細野氏を擁立しようとしたメンバーが中心で、出席者は「徐々に人数を増やしたい」と述べるなど、次の代表選挙での擁立を目標にする考えで す。細野氏は、すでに次の代表選出馬に向けた準備を進める考えを表明しています。党内には、総選挙前の「野田降ろし」につながるのではないかという見方も 出ています。
DPJ’s policy chief Hosono kicks off study group looking at
the next leadership election
The Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ)’s policy chief Hosono formally
launched a group to focus on candidates for the next leadership election.
Approximately 10 young MPs gathered at Hosono’s study group.
The group is planning to focus on a
rethink of the party’s core principles, given the internal conflict and large
number of defectors from the party. The majority of attendees were party
members who supported Hosono’s candidacy in the September leadership race. The attendees stated that “We would like to
increase our numbers” to support Hosono in the next leadership race. Hosono has stated that he is already
continuing preparations for candidacy in said next leadership race. To some within the party, this could be seen
as being connected to the “Get rid of Noda” movement prior to the next general
election.
