The House of Representatives election to be held on October 27th is likely to be turbulent. According to surveys by various media outlets, the LDP will struggle and there is a possibility that it may not win a majority on its own. Prime Minister Ishiba dissolved the House of Representatives in the shortest time since the war, drawing backlash from the opposition parties, and while his administration may not be the shortest since the war, it may end up being a fairly short-lived one. I hope we don’t return to the unstable era of the past, when the prime minister changed every year… At the very least, what I want from politics is stability. Without political stability, economic growth will be difficult and necessary reforms will become more distant. In the end, all we will have is chaos. (Kei)
