The House of Representatives election is scheduled to be announced on the 19th of this month and the vote will be held on the 31st.

I've introduced this video clip a few times, but I liked it so much that I dictated it this time (jump to YouTube).

Many people say that my story doesn't make sense, but it is Junichiro Koizumi.

I don't know what kind of gathering you're having today, but-- Congratulations! Good luck!

No, I'm glad we won. Yes, the LDP won handily.

I was wondering if it would be an overwhelming victory, and it was an overwhelming victory.

Well, I'd like to ask you guys... Which is better, a cab that doesn't know the way and wanders around and doesn't go to its destination, or a cab that speeds but goes to its destination?

Well, we'd rather have a cab that speeds.

Well, I guess that's the people's answer.

The LDP that run out of control, is better than the Democrat that takes a weaving course. That was the result of the election, right?

Abe, you can do anything you want, from now on.

But last year's general election was a little different, and I couldn't predict what would happen.

There were a lot of people who didn't know where to vote.

"I'm sick of the LDP"

"I'm disappointed with the Democrats"

"The other parties are also fishy."

To put it another way, it was an election, like which is better, "robbery", "fraud" or "pickpocketing".

The election was not about "where is better," but about "where would cause less damage."

===== to here =====

I think this election is also an election to think about where the damage (from Corona) will be less.

It may not be possible to say that the current government and ruling party have always taken the best measures, but it is true that they have a "track record" of almost two years of measures against new coronas.

In contrast, the opposition parties, at this stage, have not even produced a draft of the "Basic Strategic Plan for Counter-New Coronas.

If they're going to insist on calling this a draft, I'm going to be pissed.

Also, I googled the name of the opposition party + "corona measures," and all I got was a copy and paste of the current government policies so far.

They only strengthened my mindset that "I don't need to change the government if this is the case".

It takes a lot of courage for me to entrust the task of dealing with the new corona to opposition parties that have done nothing but criticize the current government from behind for the past two years.

This time, I'm taking it more seriously than I did in 2013 (when the above content was released).

The election will not about "where is better," but about "where would cause less damage."

I believe that.

After all, my life is at stake.
