Constitutional Democratic Party Secretary-General Okada said at a press conference, ``In the interim report of the Political Reform Headquarters, there was no concrete discussion on how to revise the Political Funds Control Act, but without the Liberal Democratic Party's ideas, there will be no consultation. "We can't do that. Our ideas are clear, including the 'joinder system' and the digitalization of income and expenditure reports, and I want the Liberal Democratic Party to have thorough discussions and come up with their ideas as soon as possible."
