Regarding stable succession to the Imperial Throne, the Democratic Party of Japan is a party that calls for the implementation of concrete systems as soon as possible regarding the idea that female members of the imperial family should remain in the imperial family after marriage and the idea that male lineage males from former imperial families could be adopted. I reported my thoughts to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Nukaga.
On the 28th, Representative Tamaki of the Democratic Party of Japan and others met with Speaker of the House of Representatives Nukaga and submitted a document summarizing the party's thoughts regarding a stable succession to the Imperial Throne.
Among these, the government will urgently change the system regarding the proposal for female members of the imperial family to remain in the imperial family after marriage and the proposal for adopting male lineage males from former imperial families, as presented in the report of the expert panel submitted to the Diet last year. I think we should move forward with making it more concrete.
The report also states that consideration should be given to the idea of making male descendants of former imperial families directly members of the imperial family by law, rather than adopting them.
Tamaki told reporters, ``We must take all possible measures to ensure a stable succession to the Imperial Throne and to prevent the decline in the number of members of the Imperial family.''I would like to cooperate with the chairman as much as possible to reach a conclusion quickly in a calm environment.'' "I said," he said.
