Regarding constitutional revision, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Restoration Party) have pointed out that ``discussions are being exhausted'' in the House of Representatives Commission on the Constitution regarding the extension of the term of office of Diet members in emergency situations such as large-scale disasters. The focus is on whether the review committee will try to gather opinions.
The Commission on the Constitution of the House of Representatives has so far held three free debates in the current Diet session, and the four parties of the Liberal Democratic Party, New Komeito, Japan Restoration Party, and Democratic Party for the People have discussed what to do in the event of a large-scale natural disaster or terrorism. We focused on responding to emergencies.
Among them, the four parties all argued that it was necessary to extend the terms of Diet members in the event that it was difficult to hold elections due to an "emergency situation," and at the secretary's round-table conference on the 24th of this month, the points of contention were the claims of each party. I checked the documents organized for each.
The four parties pointed out that ``debate on extending the term of office is being exhausted,'' and one of them said, ``We should quickly collect opinions and start drafting concrete articles for constitutional revision.'' I also have an opinion.
On the other hand, the Constitutional Democratic Party has not clarified its pros and cons to the extension of the term of office, and the Japanese Communist Party has shown its opposition, citing the heavy history of the pre-war term extension.
With less than two weeks until the end of the exhibition, the focus is on whether the examination committee will try to collect opinions in the future.
