"I have no candiate to vote"
I wrote above sentence on the ballot in the election of the House of Councilors.



In Japan, we are going to have the election of the House of Councilors next week.

By the way, what do you feel about TV commercial messages of political parties?

In a TV CM, the leader of the Government party says;
"We will change Japan for young men to be active more!"
I think above sentence so abstract.

In the other TV CM, the leader of a party out of power says;
"We will change consumer tax from 5% to 3%!"
But he doesn't explain how to make money to do it.

I wonder they really want to make Japan better. I want to say to them;
"If you really want to change Japan for young men to be active more, don't recommend candidates over 50 years old."
"If you really want to change consumer tax from 5% to 3%, you have to explain how you will make money to do it to us."

I have gotten tired of candidates' commitment like below ones.
"I will change Japan to be more good for old men and children."
"I will do policy to be kind to the earth."

Above sentences are certainly beautiful. But now, old men and children are getting wrong. The dam the mouth of Nagara river has been established.

But if you have suffrage, you have to go to the election. And you'd better throw a blank ballot to box. It will let politicians in this country awake.
