広島１区「残念だが増税◯◯◯は落選しない話」

私たちの衆議院選挙区は悪評高い前総理大臣の区域で落選させる運動が盛んにおこなわれている。だが野党も複数人が立候補していて自民党の元総裁が選挙に負けることはイメージできない。ただ広島市民のおこなう運動には賛成だ。しかし民主党も共産党も応援する気にはならない。比例区は新撰組に決めた。
We have lived in the election neighborhoods where the notorious previous prime minister K would become one of the candidates of the Diet politicians, and we have often seen the marvelous demonstrations which make him lose the general elections in the downtowns, everyone knows.
However, there are several candidates selected by the opposition parties in our regions, and such situations fail to force the ex-president of the Liberal Democratic Party to be one of ordinary citizens in our society, to our regret.
After all, several opposition parties cannot cooperate to realize our dream that Mr. K should lose the elections.
But we want to support the movements by an extremely large number of Hiroshima citizens against him from the bottom of our hearts, while we would refuse Communists party and Constitutional Democratic one without fail.
In conclusion, Shinsengumi won’t absolutely cheat us.

２週間の選挙運動が始まった。今の政権与党が十分な議席数を確保できるかどうか不透明だ。不景気を解消して国民の生活を守るらしい。この30年間ほど日本経済は沈んだままだ。消費税を廃止するべきだ。物価高に対抗するにはそれしかない。だが複数の野党が増税を推奨する。しかし選挙だけには行こう。
The general election campaigns have started since this morning, and we would watch the panel discussions on TV for these two weeks, in which we cannot but wonder whether the current government parties should secure the enough number of the Diet members or not, he says.
Almost all the opposition parties have declared that they should overcome the long continuous recessions, so that ordinary citizens wouldn’t suffer from too high prices.
These manifestations of theirs absolutely fail to be kept because such politicians are accustomed to tell a lie to common public in order to win the elections, he assumes.
A certain president of the opposition party appealed that the notorious consumption taxations must be abolished because this malicious system have prevented ordinary citizens from leading a normal life in the financial and economic viewpoints, and the vicious taxation systems should be banned right now when they want to overcome the current serious circumstances, an online article says.
To our disappointments, several opposition parties agree that the consumption taxations should be continued from now on, but we should participate in the election as one of the Japanese voters, and must employ our civil rights.
