Ishihara goes national

Governor Ishihara announced he is quitting the governorship and moving back into national-level politics. Of course, even as Tokyo Governor, he was very much involved in stirring the national political pot (e.g., with his bid to buy the Senkakus, which bid forced the national government’s hand on that). But now he says he wants to be a Diet member again.

So he is going to team up with some friends and form a new political party in time to run candidates in the next election. Even so, it is not at all clear who will join him. Osaka’s Hashimoto has been suggested, but the news is saying that Ishihara and Hashimoto have major policy differences. As though “policy” ever stopped a politician from seeking political gain. For example, it is reported that Ishihara is too nationalistic for even Hashimoto “you have to sing the national anthem or you’re fired” Toru. And the wildly retrograde Abe now has his LDP sandbox back, so he is unlikely to team up outwardly with Ishihara. Even Kamei Shizuka is wary.

Although Ishihara spent much of today’s press conference complaining that the central bureaucracy does not listen to him, he started off with a call to scrap the postwar Constitution. It would be nice if he lost his bid for a Diet seat. Living in Kanagawa, I doubt I will have a chance to vote against him, but it would be nice.
