Good!!

Here has been noisy because two days ago the Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro dissolved the Diet after the bill of privatizing public postal services, one of his campaign promises, was voted down in the House of Councilors, due to some of the Liberal Democrats rebelling against the President of the Government party.

This seemed to be good to Japan because they will be likely to have an opportunity to exclude those representatives from the Diet, who were protecting the vested rights that they and their supporters had had, and tried to stop the reformations needed to update the Japanese governmental systems. One of the biggest troubles that Japan has had should be that Japan hasn't adjusted itself to the present era that began in 1989 after the end of the Cold War era. The governmental systems has been working in the same way as in the Cold War era, when Japanese economy worked well in the US-oriented world.

Anyway, it was good. What matters most is how many younger persons will vote in the general election on September, 11.
