I’m not sure how many new political parties have formed in the past year and a half, but somehow I’m thinking that Japan’s politics really aren’t going to change at all whenever the next election happens. We’ll see though. I do love me some Japanese party politics. 石原新党:橋下氏、連携 には「政策の一致が条 件」

日本維新の会代表の橋下徹大阪市長は２５ 日、新党結成を表明した石原慎太郎東京都知事 との連携について、「政策の一致と価値観の一 致。そこがないと有権者にそっぽを向かれてし まうと都知事に伝えている」と述べ、政策の一 致が次期衆院選での連携の条件になるとの考え を強調した。
橋下氏は市役所で記者団に「石原都知事のパ ワーがないと今の統治機構を変えるのは難し い」と国政復帰を評価。「まずは政策を一つに まとめて自民、民主、第三極という形になれる かだ」と話し、要請があれば政策協議に応じる 意向を示した。【原田啓之】

Ishihara’s new party: Hashimoto says cooperation is contingent on agreement in policy
Japan Restoration Party representative and Osaka mayor Toru Hashimoto stated “Policy and values must be consistent. I’ve told the mayor that if they don’t, the voters will turn away from you,” regarding cooperation with the new political party that Tokyo mayor Shintaro Ishihara is establishing. He emphasized that cooperation in the next lower house elections was contingent on an agreement in policy.
In an interview at city hall, Hashimoto evaluated the political situation saying, “If Mayor Ishihara has no power, changing the current political structure will be hard.” “First, policy needs to be gathered as one, and only then can we be the third pole along with the DPJ and LDP.” In saying so, he showed a willingness to have policy discussions if it was requested.
