This Election Is a Battle Between Pro-Takaichi Forces(Globalists,Net-Uyoku)and Anti-Takaichi Forces(Anti-Globalism)


The term “net-uyoku” refers to people who blindly support Shinzo Abe and Sanae Takaichi, and who actively assist globalist policies.

They are the same people who supported Abe and fully endorsed Abenomics—policies that worsened Japan’s economic condition and accelerated the country’s decline in nominal GDP.
Despite this, they habitually attack Reiwa Shinsengumi, a party that consistently maintains a liberal economic stance.

When, exactly, did Reiwa Shinsengumi cooperate in the two consumption tax increases?
When did they support globalist policies such as Abe’s revision of the Water Act or the abolition of the Seed Law?

The consumption tax increases were carried out by the former Democratic Party under Yoshihiko Noda and the Liberal Democratic Party led by Abe.

Yet these net-uyoku deliberately redirect their anger away from those responsible and aim it at Reiwa Shinsengumi instead—without any reflection or self-examination.

There are well-known slogans often chanted by net-uyoku (Abe supporters and Takaichi supporters).
Anyone who repeats these slogans can reasonably be identified as one of them:

・“Thank you, Abe-san.”

・“As long as Sanae is there, we have nothing to worry about.”

I do not align myself with net-uyoku, who can only view politics through a simplistic left-versus-right lens.
I have a clear axis: economic policy.
The real divide is between expansionary fiscal policy and austerity.

One of Takaichi’s key advisers, Satsuki Katayama, uses the phrase “responsible expansionary fiscal policy.”
This is nothing more than sophistry.

If one truly regards the consumption tax and the Ministry of Finance as the problem, then the lies in their rhetoric become obvious.

This time as well, I will choose my vote from the standpoint of
anti-globalism, opposition to austerity, and resistance to neoliberalism.
From that perspective, there is only one answer.

Sanseito.
