Ishiba pod presją, by ustąpić

LDP jest w trudnej sytuacji. Partia zdołała utrzymać poparcie tylko w najstarszych kohortach wiekowych, a to oznacza, że chociaż starsze roczniki są liczniejsze i charakteryzują się większą partycypacją w wyborach, to czas nieubłaganie gra przeciwko LDP.

Kto zostanie japońskim premierem?

Do wyborów wewnętrznych rządzącej Partii Liberalno-Demokratycznej stanęła rekordowa liczba dziewięciu kandydatów. Lokalne media spekulują, że zwycięzca ogłosi przedterminowe wybory już pod koniec października lub na początku listopada.

Moim zdaniem wyścig rozstrzygnie się jednak w trójkącie: Koizumi, Ishiba i Kamikawa, która jest postrzegana jako zręczna przywódczyni, aspirująca do bycia mentorką młodszych polityczek. Koizumi może być za młody i budzić obawy establishmentu, że zdominuje partię na długie lata. Ishiba może mieć problemy z dojściem do szerszego elektoratu poza partią.
