Yesterday I went to the poll in a general election for the lower house of parliament. This was held after bills to privatise the postal system were defeated in the upper house. Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi determined to pass the bill. So this election was said to be asking for voters whether for the privatise the postal system or against it.
But this was just the strategy of Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) for win this election. I think he's already had his scenario when lower house was dissolved. And results? LDP's landslide victory. Mr. Koizumi took a variety of method for apealing the voters. While Democratic party (DPJ) couldn't fully prepared for it. They were completely lost.
Actually I didn't support for LDP. Because, I'm against the policy of Prime minister's visit to the Yasukuni shrine and deployment of Japanese Self Defence Force in Iraq. So I supported for DPJ. And personal reason... Then DPJ's leader Mr. Okada was resigned the post for taking the responsibility. I think they should choose the leader who is more apeal to the voters next time. Mr. Koizumi's popularity was still absolutely great. That was proved in this election.
Last night, almost every channel was reporting about the outcome of the election. So I was watching it all night long.
