Handling of the Amendment to the Referendum Law Focusing on the Diet Now November 11, 4:32
The ruling party is aiming to pass the revision of the referendum law, which stipulates the procedure for constitutional amendment, in the current Diet session, while the opposition parties are not in line with each other. It is expected that the handling of the amendment will be one of the focal points toward the end of the session.
The draft amendment to the Referendum Law, which stipulates the procedure for amending the Constitution, was submitted to the ordinary Diet session in order to improve the convenience of voting, but it continues to be deliberated without substantive deliberation.
Regarding this, the ruling party is aiming for the establishment of the current Diet, such as the Liberal Democratic Party's chairman of the Diet, Mr. Moriyama, stating that "we must make a conclusion in the current Diet", and the secretary of the Constitutional Review Board of the House of Representatives within this week. I would like to hold a round-table conference and discuss with the ruling and opposition parties how to proceed with the deliberation.
On the other hand, on the opposition side, the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Communist Party are cautious about deliberations, while the Nippon Ishin no Kai has a policy of responding to deliberations, and the Democratic Party for the People has shown a willingness to respond to a vote depending on the conditions, and they are not in line.
Some of these Liberal Democratic Party executives have said that they should vote in collaboration with some opposition parties, and one of the focal points will be the handling of the revised bill toward the end of the session on the 5th of next month. It is a prospect.
