後がない首相 - Prime Minister is Cornered

政治家たちは何を考えているのだろうか?こんな時に政局とは呆れてしまう。菅直人が首相の器として落第点というのは分からないでもないが、安倍晋三・福田康夫・麻生太郎と連続して落第生を輩出した自民党はそもそもこれまでの原発政策の元凶なのだし、谷垣禎一がその過去とどう決別し、何をどう変えるのかも曖昧に、首相さえ替われば後はどうにでもできるというのでは底が浅すぎる。今のこの現状は菅だけのせいではなく、君ら全員の連帯責任だと思うよ。全員で国民の負託に応えていないのだから、解散総選挙にしても噴飯ものだ。国会議員はしばらくの間全員で福島に移住して、避難所で寝起きしながら現地でじっくりと自分たちが何をすべきか話し合うべきだ。

What are those politicians thinking? In the chaotic post-disaster situation, they ran into pure politics appallingly. I can see the argument that Naoto Kan is far from being acceptable, but LDP continued to elect disappointing PM’s every several months e.g. Shinzo Abe, Yasuo Fukuda and Taro Aso. Also, they are the one who assumed responsible for the entire nuclear power plant arrangements in the past. Sadakazu Tanigaki only demands Kan’s resignation without clear departure from their own past nor alternative vision statement, which does not look very dependable. I think all the Members of Parliament are responsible mutually for the present situation with no exception. You should move in to Fukushima for a while, all of you, live there with evacuated people, and think and discuss what needs to be done now.
