Unlike this, Coisumi was less open in politics, but the son of former Japanese leader Yanichira Coisum rose to fame after he entered the post of minister and Manage Rice Crisis in Japan.
Jesper Koll, Expert Director of the Financial Services Monex Group, said that Takaichi has “strong policy ideas and, more importantly, a strong team of” law enforcement “both within the LDP and the elite bureaucracy.”
While the main LDP may not love her ideas, she kills the elite of the LDP well, who admires her careful and willingness to engage, argue and do everything, said the count, which marked her ideas “radical”.
On the contrary, the call said, Koizumi is a safe pair of hands. “As he is fundamentally lecherous in politics, the old LDP guard feels confident that he does not exceed his assigned agenda, such as agricultural policy or protection against rural areas.”
He could also easily build a compromise with opposition parties in the lower house to get support to become prime minister.
Or someone else?
Although the LDP-Komeito is the ruling coalition of Japan, the LDP leadership winner may not automatically become the Prime Minister because the lower house makes the final choice.
As the LDP lost most in the House, all opposition lawmakers could, if they unite the next prime minister.
LDP and Komeito have a combined 220 places in the lower house at 465 places. But this scenario is unlikely, EUROSIA analysts say, given that LDP with its 196 places are still the largest block for voting in the lower house.
