They are rightist for sure, but being right and being conservative are two different things.
It is precisely because they are conservative (not wanting to change anything) that the LDP was against the proposal.
Are you saying Reiwa Shinsengumi is also conservative for not agreeing with the metropolitan plan?

It's about being pro-reform or anti- reform instead of blindly saying I will not support anything party A is suggesting because they are left or right.
I would say it's more about "this reform is good" vs "this reform is BS".

For those who don't know, Ishin is a rightist/conservative party.
85% of Rikken (national liberal party) supporters voted No, while LDP supporters remained ambivalent.
Reiwa Shinsengumi (Taro Yamamoto's party) and the communist party are strongly against the plan.
10s/20s voted No more than 30s/40s so it's not as simple as "Young vs Old" either.
source: https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASNC143HDNC1PTIL008.html
But I guess some usually rational people blindly cheer for Ishin because "It's not LDP". Just like what happend with the anti-NHK party.

It's interesting that usually leftist people supoorts Ishin because Ishin is a clear-cut right wing party.
And 10s/20s oppose more than 30s/40s so It's not as simple as "Old vs
Young" either.
85% of Rikken (main federal opposition party) supporets voted no.

The benefit of having the US bases in Japan benefits Japan a lot more than the reverse.

The thing is she proposes the whole "生理のときはこのピンバッジを胸につけることを提案します". It's not like the plan "生理中はどこか(somewhere)にバッジをつける"was proposed before by other staff.
And, the original text clearly says 提案 but again you say "提供". Am I missing something? Please correct me if I'm wrong for using "提供". It's no wonder your wife said "No, that's not what it says" If you explained using "提供".

The sentence is clear that the woman proposes that the badge is worn on the chest. It does not refer to the plan overall.
Yes it refers to the plan overall. It's not like she's concernd about the location the badge resides. Chest or not is not importeant to her.

That's one meaning of the word, but is incorrect in this context. In this context it means more to offer an opinion.
No, Its absolutely correct in this context. As a Japanese native I can tell. In japanese many words are omitted, but by in this context "提案" is about the badge plan, not about previous "生理に対する理解を深めたい" sentence.
