Japanese elections - the communist!
The Japanese elections started and campaigning will last
twelve days! In the USA the presidential
elections season runs for about one year.
Also in the USA it is basically a two-party system. While in Japan a parliamentary system, have
multiple political parties. Here are the
political parties participating in the current election:
Democratic Party of Japan 民主党, Minshutō
Japanese Communist Party 日本共産党, Nihon Kyōsan-tō
Liberal Democratic Party 自由民主党,
Jiyū-MinshutōNew Komeito Party 公明党, Shin Kōmeitō
New Party DAICHI 新党大地 Shintō Daichi
New Party Nippon 新党日本 Shintō Nippon
New Renaissance Party 新党改革, Shintō Kaikaku
People's New Party 国民新党 Kokumin Shintō
Restoration Party 日本維新の会, Nippon Ishin no Kai
Social Democratic Party 社会民主党 Shakai Minshu-tō
Tomorrow Party
Your Party みんなの党, Minna no Tō
The “Japanese Communist Party” is rather interesting for
their honesty. At least the label
themselves “communist.” While in the USA
the communist of the 21st century masquerade themselves as the
Democratic Party.
Another interesting aspect:
The current prime minister of Japan when seeking election a few years
back made campaign promises, as all politicians do. Also as all politicians, he was not able to
keep all his promises. He recently
apologized for not keeping his campaign promises. That is not what all politicians do, at least
not in the United States.
In the USA Democratic Party presidents do not apologize for
promises not kept, they just blame previous Republican presidents. Japanese Prime Minister = honorable. USA Democrat Party President =
dishonorable.
