Koizumi Theatre
2005.08.19 0:16

Mr Koizumi, Japan's prime minister, simplifies the point the general election as whether you support privatisation of postal services or not. And he has been sending 'assassins' against those who voted against the privatisation. There's no reason media don't mention about them. This is a theatre Mr Koizumi devised.
The role of opposition party -Democratic Party of Japan has been diminishing very rapidly as the significance of the election-whether you are in favour or not of the privatisation and many distinguished figures have been nominated and alotted in a constituency 'rebels' would run in.
I am in favour of not only his privatisation bill but also his attitude- easy to understand. He is not a politician in a conventional sense in Japan's political scene. I hope he will win in an avalanche.
Takafumi Horie has been eager to run in a constuituency where one of the most prominent opponent run in. Applause his positive attitude to this election.

Do I understand correctly that the Japanese postal service is also a very large financial institution?--

First off, thank you very much for befriending me. I am very proud of being chosen one of your initial 30 friends.
As to a question, yes, it is pretty much so. Japan has been a state socialist country lead by authoritative bureaucratic elites since its restoration 1868. After the defeat of the WWII, US has been eager to change our society more suitable to in the very name of the capitalist country. Japanese people have been adopting very earnestly what they believe the western culture but in the very strata of the society still there has been remaining diehard part to resist the change.
Postal service's one of the historical heritage that shows well the royality of Japanese peole who has been admiring what they think it is 'public'. It has been very naturally taken for granted by the general public of the Japanese that 'public' is good, authoritative, right, in which they have to obey, are willing to obey, willing to dedicate, etc. A result of this belief or faith -as a matter of fact, Shintoism has been closely related to the belief toward the 'public', is the huge deposit postal service including postal savings and insurance left which is about 3.2 trillion stockpiled millions of crystalisation of perspiration of the people.
Now these stockpiled wealth has been exclusively used for the public investment, arrangement of the infrastructure. The argument is these investments are dubious whether they were used to improve our life or only benifitted a handful of the general contractors that have exclusive right to make a contract with government agencies who have again exclusive right to use the deposit in postal savings.
Mr Koizumi's reform bills will help open this pandora's box and enable this country to lead to a country where fair competition and free market principle can work.
