Positive / Negative toward: Ishin and DPFP backing the LDP's 31-seat proportional cut plan
Positive points
Cut the Diet seats a lot more, in both houses. Too many lawmakers are wasting taxpayer money.
Scrap the proportional seats. They let fringe parties in without real accountability.
Glad DPFP finally backed the cut and got it moving.
Negative points
DPFP keeps flip-flopping, so I don't trust a word they say.
DPFP looks like it's just cozying up to the LDP and Ishin for a seat at the table.
Cutting seats this way hurts representation and makes it harder for new parties to appear.
