60059 This is a change that we could not imagine a little while ago.
60060 The Ministry of Transport, which is regarded as a symbol of approval and regulation, is not an exception.
60061 Leaders of the airline industry cried, "The airline industry will soon become nothing but the second National Railways Corporation, which suffered from losses," while executives of JR companies are warning against the increasing difference in the price of transportation, hotel, and service fees between Japan and overseas, saying, "de-industrialization is spreading from manufacturing industries to others."
60062 "We imagine a terrible future in which one day the stock market suddenly disappears from Japan," claimed financial institutions such as banks, security companies, insurance companies, and non-life insurance companies, and concerning the relief bank for credit unions that the government and the Bank of Japan established in the name of "maintenance of financial system order," they are fearing that "using taxes for relieving 'bad' financial institutions that lost sight of their responsibility in the bubble economy is being criticized by Cabinet members, because it may cause serious problems in case of failure. If this is the case, this will be a national-level crime."
60063 All of them indicate that it is dangerous that the harmful effects of approval and regulation reached "the worst level."
60064 They have been a hotbed of crimes such as massive corruption and political scandals.
60065 The change of generations and deregulation change the role and quality of politicians dramatically.
60066 They will not be able to protect vested interests, manage interests, and will lose reasons for inducing benefits from their sphere of their activities.
60067 By adding the decentralization of authority and a new electoral system, or combination of single-seat constituencies and proportional representation, the political map may change dramatically.
60068 "They are extremely disadvantageous for the aged members and candidates who depend only on the name of the party in power," analyzed a mainstay member who is known as an elections expert, while an influential Cabinet minister is afraid that "members of the Diet may lose their jobs and their existence value."
60069 It is not right.
60070 It is indispensable for politicians and voters who elect them to change their awareness, and what should the Cabinet members do?
60071 We will finally realize what we should do immediately in order to overcome the difficulties at a turning point.
60072 That will be the direction of the structural change of politics, the economy, and administration that Japan is now confronted with.
60073 This year, unified local elections are scheduled for April, and Upper House election for July.
