Mr. Suga elected as the new president of the Liberal Democratic Party Expert analysis is September 14, 19:43

We asked experts in various fields of politics about this presidential election and future issues.

Professor Taniguchi of Keio University "Emphasis was placed on the ability to respond to crisis situations."

Professor Naoko Taniguchi of Keio University Graduate School, who specializes in political science, commented on the background of Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga being elected as the new president in this presidential election, saying, "Because of the unpredictable baton touch, A great deal of emphasis was placed on continuity and, moreover, on the ability to respond to the extraordinary and critical situation of Corona's scourge. In that respect, the party's long-standing support for the Abe administration as Chief Cabinet Secretary. With tremendous trust from within and the uncertain future political flow, I think that first of all, the ability to respond to emergencies in terms of internal affairs was required. "

On top of that, "It is unusual for the president of the Liberal Democratic Party or the prime minister to become the leader this time, while the so-called second and third generation politicians have continued. It's a phase. "

Regarding the policies that Mr. Suga has set out so far, he said, "While following the direction of the Abe administration so far, there is a shortage such as" breaking down the vertically divided administration "and deregulation represented by communication policy. It seems to be a form that makes up for the part that is being done. I think that it is a person who has worked while coordinating within the party and with bureaucrats, and coordinating beyond the political party. In the difficult situation of Corona I hope that you will be able to demonstrate your high level of practical ability. "

Professor Ohnonaka of Gakushuin University "It's an election where the logic of the inner circle is superior."

Professor Naoto Nonaka of Gakushuin University, who specializes in comparative politics and is familiar with the election system, said, "Although there were some sudden events, there was not enough policy debate and there was no excitement. It feels like "insider competition". Although the results were known early, it was an election in which the inner logic of the parliamentarians decided various things at their own convenience. I think. "

On top of that, "I think the Prime Minister's Office will take the leadership and lead the next administration. There were some problems during the Abe administration, and there were times when I couldn't be fully accountable. I want you to explain and reform the structure of the Diet. "

In addition, Professor Nonaka said, "The new president has a strong aspect of being the new prime minister, but it is not a caretaker government, and it is necessary to have them work with the intention that there is no time to spare. Otherwise, policy in a really important situation. It is quite possible that the conversion will not go well or that we will not be able to exert our command. There should be a general election under the new Prime Minister, and I think it is the responsibility of the new Prime Minister. "

Associate Professor Nishida, Tokyo Institute of Technology "Battle on SNS does not always go well"

Associate Professor Ryosuke Nishida of Tokyo Institute of Technology, who specializes in public policy and is familiar with the issues of the Internet and politics, said about this presidential election, "Each candidate will use SNS to send out, so that the battle will be fought on SNS as well. It was a presidential election, but I don't usually send it out by myself, so I don't think it was necessarily successful. Mr. Ishibashi and Mr. Kishida were too short-term elections to get around. That's the impression. "

On top of that, regarding Secretary Suga, "I have the impression that the emphasis was on neutralizing the impression of being strong and strong. There were a series of posts eating sweets such as pancakes on SNS. I think the people in the club had the impression that they also had a human side. "

Regarding the demands of the new administration, "It is no exaggeration to say that clarifying the beginning of the recovery is the top priority because the future of the economy was uncertain due to the corona disaster. The Abe administration is also in the period of economic expansion. It has been said that it brought about this, but with the emphasis on economic policy, the profits and stock prices of large companies were maintained, but the benefits did not reach the consumers. It seems that they can properly benefit from it. It's important to make things. "
