Q: Why do the Japanese media forecast that the Democratic Party of Japan will take 300 seats from total 480 Lower House contested seats on the August 30 poll?
A: It is because 50% to 70% of Japanese citizens have felt that they might not be able to fully receive a payment of pension due to irresponsible management by the LDP-led Government.
It is 240 among 480 if 50% voters go anti-LDP; 336 among 480 if 70% voters go against the LDP/New-Komeito government. With 60% assumed, Mr. Hatoyama and his DPJ can win 288 seats, overwhelmingly.
As the sum of seats of the DPJ's and the LDP's will be about 420 based on a certain calculation, Mr. Aso's Liberal Democratic Party will be able to get only 132 seats if the DPJ takes 288.
(It will be 252 if 60% of 420. But, do you think that Ms. Yuriko Koike, Ms. Satsuki Katayama, and Ms. Yukari Sato will all fail in the election only because they belong to the LDP, though nothing is personal?)
Q: Will Mr. Yukio Hatoyama, head of the DPJ, succeed in maintaining his Cabinet long for the full term of the new lawmakers, namely four years?
A: Most probably not. He is too rich. As very rich Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso cannot fully understand minds and hearts of poor or ordinary citizens, Mr. Hatoyama might miss a sign of a change in people's minds. The Upper House Election scheduled next summer will be a turning point for his political life.
(Ronald Reagan and Mr. Bill Clinton did not look like born super-rich, thus having been re-elected. But, Mr. George H. W. Bush looked so. Without the 9/11 Terror in 2001, Mr. George W. Bush must not have been re-elected in 2004, either. In this context, the situation for Mr. Barack Obama seems to be a little close to that of Mr. Jimmy Carter. In addition, Mr. Junichiro Koizumi was not regarded as a greedy man, thus having sustained his Cabinets for almost five years in Japan.)
Q: Is the pension management scandal the only issue?
A: It is the largest issue. It will be the major factor for deciding the outcome of the poll. Without this scandal the LDP/New-Komeito government is mostly and duly responsible for, there must be no chance for the DPJ, with full of younger lawmakers, to seize power through a general election.
However, most of candidates, including top executives of the DPJ, do not seem to understand it, since they are rich enough not to live on pension in future.
In this election, voters are going to vote for the largest opposition party, the DPJ, in order to secure their pension reserves. No other policy differences and agendas have such an impact.
Q: Who and what party are you going to cast your ballots for on this Sunday?
A: As almost 100% Japanese citizens can read and write, each voter is requested to write names of a candidate and a party he or she chooses in a balloting booth.
However, it is neither illegal nor a constitutional violation to leave the voting slips blank and drop them into a ballot box.
If 10% of the Japanese voters files blank slips this time, the God might be pleased, in my feeling.
(You can also judge the judges of the Japanese Supreme Court on this occasion. The approval voting for the elite judges is to be concurrently conducted on the coming Sunday. However, I will not judge them, though they have virtually failed in a recent case of abuse of stimulants by one of the most popular actresses.)

(La vérité la plus choquant peut pas être déclarés. But, everything will be known to the world, as Jesus Christ says so. And, whenever the summer is going to end, I feel as if it were going to start. Since August 29 will be the last old-fashioned Saturday of this political era, I may go and take some "historic pictures" of Tokyo, though this is somehow personal.
