Concerning the bill to increase the number of single-seat constituencies in the House of Representatives by 10, the Liberal Democratic Party's investigative committee held a board meeting, and objections were raised such as ``it will be difficult for local voices to reach national politics,'' and discussions will continue. It's decided.
In order to correct the so-called one-vote disparity, the government plans to submit a bill to the current Diet session to increase the number of single-seat constituencies in the House of Representatives by 10, aiming for enactment. At a board meeting of the system investigation committee, a person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications explained the contents of the bill.
In response to this, some of the lawmakers who attended said, ``It is strange to decide the fixed number based on the number of voters alone. We decided to continue the discussion.
Aisawa, chairman of the Election System Research Institute, told reporters, "Prime Minister Kishida says, 'We will submit a bill,' and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party should not refuse to submit it. I want to make an effort to be able to start in a good way."
