Major opposition party mulls no-confidence motion against Kishida

What a total, total waste of time and effort. The opposition parties keep submitting these no-confidence motions and they never accomplish anything.

Why don't they try submitting some motions for alternative legislation instead? They would get voted down by the ruling coalition too but at least it would show they had some ideas of their for running the country.

The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan wants to show its opposition to a bill that would secure funds to bolster the nation's defense capabilities,

DPJ's effort would be dead on arrival, I predict. Sadly, DPJ can not seem to do anything but oppose their LDP leaders.

Very true Simon.

But as many have said here before, democracy in Japan is a joke.

The LDP have a huge majority and is never going to vote against itself. Just political showboating at its most pointless.

The opposition should spend their time and energy winning more seats.

A campaign to reduce taxes would be a good move. That would get them votes. Japanese tax is already crippling.

He has no need to call a snap election he still has till October 2025 before his term is up unfortunately he still has time to make another few scandals and still make a comeback in another fake election where they spend millions trying to convince everybody that it isn't worth voting.

Why? The opposition is more useless than Kishida.

I hate to say it, but compared to previous prime ministers, he ain’t too bad. Oh, that sounded weird!

Japan is ruled by one party: the Keidanren. 100's of Billions of yen are thrown at corporations while the country slides into unrecoverable debt. Taxes on citizens are meaningless except as a device to keep workers from accruing enough savings to escape their enslavement to existing business owners.

The opposition party may submit a no-confidence motion against the cabinet as an ultimate means to block the passage, although it is certain to be voted down by the ruling camp, the lawmakers said. A party executive said there is "no choice but to submit" the motion.

Why "no choice"? what is the point of considering inevitable to do something that do not make any difference? an empty appeal to the opposition "doing their job"?

Why "no choice"? 

Because they don't have any better ideas.
