2009 SEPTEMBER 2 - SEPTEMBER 8 We need a government that can express opinion without fear to business leaders and the U.S. On an NHK debate program, Japanese Communist Party Secretariat Head Ichida Tadayoshi commented on the Democratic Party of Japan's proposal for creating a "National Strategy Bureau." In general terms, structure is an important aspect, but the real question is whether such a bureau will try to meet the needs of the public. Almost 90% of DPJ's revenue will depend on government subsidy In the aftermath of its landslide victory in the August 30 House of Representatives general election, the Democratic Party of Japan will receive an estimated 17.3 billion yen in government subsidy for FY 2010. The amount is much larger than the party's FY 2009 revenue. All candidates representing a military lobby group and Okinawa's pro-U.S. base advocates defeated in general election The Liberal Democratic and Komei parties again suffered an historic defeat. They had forced Okinawans to tolerate the heavy burdens of U.S. military bases while promoting the strengthening and perpetuation of these bases in return for measures to stimulate the local economy. ........................................................................................................................................................................
