A woman attending a rally in Fukushima by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe carried a placard that asked the LDP leader his stance on the nuclear energy controversy. LDP security <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">confronted<\/span> her and said that the rally was \u201cnot a place for protest but a place to listen.\u201d Recording the conversation secretly, she explained that she wasn\u2019t protesting. She just wanted Abe to state his position, but they <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">confiscated<\/span> the placard anyway and asked for her name and address. According to media reports, though she gave them her home address, they sent the placard to her workplace. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">As of<\/span> this writing, the video has been viewed more than 88,000 times.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>One doesn\u2019t need a hidden camera to show the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">cynicism<\/span> of the LDP campaign approach. <span style=\"background-color: #ffcc00;\">The party\u2019s most potent weapon was voter <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">apathy<\/span>, meaning the fewer who voted the better its chances. The media guaranteed this outcome by reporting that the LDP would win in a landslide, so people who opposed the party but weren\u2019t necessarily <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">vehement<\/span> about it concluded that voting was a waste of time, and they stayed home.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Given this set of suppositions, it\u2019s difficult to claim that the LDP has a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">mandate<\/span>. All they have is the power to pass any law they want without much trouble. In post-election surveys support rates for the Abe administration have been on average 10 points lower than they were before the election.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u4ee5\u4e0b\u7565<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">electorate\u3000\u9078\u6319\u6c11<br \/>\nconfront\u3000\u76f4\u9762\u3059\u308b<br \/>\nconfiscate\u3000\u62bc\u53ce\u3059\u308b<br \/>\nas of\u3000\uff5e\u306e\u6642\u70b9\u3067<br \/>\ncynicism\u3000\u76ae\u8089<br \/>\napathy\u3000\u7121\u95a2\u5fc3<br \/>\nvehement\u3000\u71b1\u5fc3\u306a<br \/>\nmandate\u3000\u59d4\u4efb<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-1140 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='1140' data-nonce='fdcf1a9ea5' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='\u3044\u3044\u306d!' \/><span class='lc-1140 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-1140 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='1140' data-nonce='fdcf1a9ea5' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='\u30c0\u30e1\u307d!' \/><span class='unlc-1140 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-1140 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"lead\">http:\/\/www.japantimes.co.jp\/news\/2013\/08\/03\/national\/yo&hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"btn btn-danger btn-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/2013\/08\/06\/1140\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,5,8],"tags":[87],"class_list":["post-1140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-english","category-misc","category-opnion","tag-interpreting-an-english-text","wpautop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1140"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1140\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1818,"href":"https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1140\/revisions\/1818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
