(1) Since the end of 2023, the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan has triggered a series of storms due to political funding problems, which has also caused the cabinet support rate to continue to decline. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida first resorted to establishing the “Political Renewal Headquarters” to stop the bleeding, but its internal members include many Abe lawmakers who have been involved in the most scandals this time, causing criticism. On January 18, Fumio Kishida proposed a new solution, planning to disband his own faction, the “Hiroike Kai” (referred to as the Kishida faction, 46 people in total). From this, another possibility emerged: the largest faction in the party, also Will the Abe faction, which is most involved in this scandal, also be disbanded? How should other factions react? If it is really disbanded, it will reshuffle the forces within the party, which will directly affect the Liberal Democratic Party’s presidential election and prime minister candidate.
For Japan’s post-war politics, the dissolution of factional factions will also be a rare major change. However, can this move save Kishida Naige’s sluggish approval rating (NHK’s poll as of January 15th, the approval rating was 26%, The disapproval rate is 56%), which is still doubtful. At the same time, disbanding factions is not the fundamental solution to the problem of false registration of fundraising funds and capital flows, which also confuses the outside world. Fumio Kishida’s plans for disbanding factions and his plans for his own political status and regime stability are worthy of follow-up observation.

If you actively spread South Korean movies, TV series, and music, you may be sentenced to death. .
