タイトル「自民党は下野するべきなのか？」

Yes, this idea can be acceptable.
Some reasons make this opinion favorable.

ここ半年ちょっと自民党がたくさんの国民から批判されている。マスコミによって少なくない党員が裏金をため込んでいることが暴露されたからである。
Liberal Democratic Party has been criticized by a large number of citizens for several months.
Major media exposed the news that not a few LDP’s diet members could obtain much secret money whenever they often held the parties.

たくさんの国民は長引く不況の中で苦しんできた。親だと贅沢な生活はできない。欲しいものも買わずに我慢する。こどもにお金がかかるからだ。
Many citizens in our society have been suffering from a long economic depression for 30 years.
Parents, especially, cannot afford to buy something expensive and cannot lead a luxurious life because their money must be spent on raising their children.

こんな状況にも関わらず、自民党の議員たちにはパーティでたくさんのお金を得る。そしてそれを公表しないでいる。それは脱税しているのと変わりない。
Despite such a terrible situation, many LDP’s Diet members can frequently receive much money by holding parties, which need not be open to the public.
And we call this malicious action a tax evasion.

国民による支持率が低下している中で国会を解散すれば、自民党は総選挙で負けるだろう。そして彼らは下野することになるだろう。
The number of LDP’s supporters has been decreasing dramatically for several months, which is the reason that they don’t want the Diet to beak up at present.
In such a case, they fail to win the next general election and never fail to be members of an opposition party.

今後とも裏金を維持しようとする自民党の間違った姿勢は許されない。日本の政治を統治する資格はない。次回の総選挙では負けて下野することを多くが望んでいる。
LDP’s attitude that the Diet members would continue to receive secret donations from supportive organizations cannot be acceptable on the side of ordinary people in our society, and they cannot be entitled to be members of the government party.
Many Japanese citizens hope that shameful LDP would lose power and never return to the current position.

These reasons make the question titled above favorable.
