Conservative militants who can become the first female in Japan

In a few days, Saint -Takaychi hopes to achieve what Margaret Tishcher’s heroine did and became the first woman to hold the highest political position in her country.

The former TV presenter told a group of school students on the weekend that she had endured her dreams to become the Japanese Prime Minister since she was twenty -four years old – an era when Tatcher took control of the UK policy.

“Why? I love Japan so much,” Takaychi said when I was asked why she wanted to become the Prime Minister. “My goal is to become” the iron lady, “she said in a separate TV appearance at the end of the previous week.

Takaychi, who is now 64 years old, may be closer to what she was in achieving this goal, before voting to lead Liberal Democratic PartyHowever, the victor will be prime minister.

Everyone who prevails on Saturday will take the reins of the party that ruled Japan Despite a handful of the past seventy years, it finds itself in the midst of the identity crisis after it has lost its majority in the parliament of parliament amid the exit of the younger voters.

Takaychi, the strict governorate who was in adolescence, is a drummer for heavy metal musician and cited her “special skill” as the ability to stay throughout the night. She put herself as a heir to the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the “Ebnumic” economic platform for low interest rates and open financial benefit.

It has held a number of major government positions since entering politics 32 years ago, including the Minister of Economic Security, as he headed the policy of cybersecurity and supervising the “Japanese” soft power strategy for the year 2010.

She is also a regular visitor to the Yasukuni shrine in Tokyo where the Japanese war is mentioned, including some war criminals. Abe’s mausoleum visits sparked huge anti -Japan protests in China in 2013. As with her teacher, Takaishi supports rewriting the peaceful Japan constitution.

When driving Sweat Last week, Takaychi was widely seen that she was behind her rival Shingero Koizumi, 44 -year -old Carisimi, for the former Prime Minister.

But by Monday, Koizumi had slipped about four percentage points behind Takaichi in a Kyodo opinion poll for the Liberal Democratic Party members, and was in a damage to damage. I apologize for a clear effort by his supporters to manufacture fake social media comments.

The driving race comes in the wake of the Coalition lost led by LDP to the control of both House of Parliament under Prime Minister Shigro IshibaThose who lasted less than a year in the office. On the national level, the LDP reputation remains distorted by a Political financing scandal Focus on the party’s ex -party faction.

Meanwhile, many younger Japanese voters, who see the Vicarian Democratic Party as a defender of the current situation, were drifted towards that The smaller popular parties The call to radical political transformations and the adoption of conspiracy theories is amid economic conditions quickly.

This weak position means that the next leader in Japan should be a bridge with new political partners. They will also have to try to reform the division of yawning within the Democratic Democratic Party, which the right wants to revive the conservative DNA and its commitment to Abins, but he sees that these situations are the root cause of the collective defection of the voters.

The leadership vote will be determined on October 4 through the votes of 295 sites sitting and 295 additional votes to direct preferences about 916,000 LDP supporters in rank and rank. The latest polls indicate that Koizumi has a support from MPS by about a bilateral to one, but the wider party membership prefers Takaychi.

Miko Nakabaya, the political scientist at Wida University, said that Takaici’s popularity at the base level at the level of al -Qaeda reflects despair for political change in the era of high prices, and less than an increase in wages and a deep feeling of geopolitical insecurity.

“People do not really know what she is, but they think she is interesting because she is a woman. It is similar to the time of the US (Barak) Obama as president: people were excited to show that the country had changed,” Nakabayachi said.

“But this desire for something new also indicates that there is a crisis,” she added. “I don’t think actual women in the Japanese workplace see it as an actress.”

Nakabayahai said that some supporters may overlook the strict positions that were said to have earned the title of “Taliban Takaychi” from former Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

As Minister of Communications in 2016, Takaychi threatened the licenses of broadcasters if they broadcast programs that are considered “politically unfair”. As Minister of Gender Equality, she opposed a law that perpetuated the male imperialist caliphate, and last week she repeated her opposition to gay marriage.

“Takaychi has all kinds of problems, but people’s memories are short,” Nakabayachi said.

But close observers have noticed that Takaychi had reduced her speech recently, a possible recognition that the main challenge in victory is the unification of a divided party.

Last week, she said she would seek to raise the proportion of women in the cabinet. Currently, about 15 percent of politicians in the lower parliament and the most powerful in the Japanese parliament are women.

Jeff Kingston, a political scientist at the University of Temple in Tokyo, said that, along with Takaishi’s preference for financial spending, the actual differences of politics between applicants were not huge.

“If the moderates are right, then they need a new face in Koizumi,” Kingston said. “If Takaychi is right, the party must return to the right under it and return to Abe’s ideology.”

Through opinion polls, “showing real economic grievances and a feeling that souls are blocked”, the Democratic Democratic Party “cannot throw themselves as a solution unless they use this vote to show that they are able to expand their electoral district.”
