Serene state of mind

National election is coming again.
There are so frequent elections that I cannot remember precisely what kind of elections I have voted, including local election.
When I complained about it at a beauty salon, the beautician said that it means I vote every time scrupulously.
Like many people, I'm also the one who is disgusted that panjandrums are holding a self-serving election in such busy period.
But since this is already fixed, I'd like to encourage all the electorate to take up the gauntlet.

We electorate MUST NOT forget that politics directly affect people's lives.
Preparing for the upcoming New Year is important on business and daily lives.
But remember, people's indifference to politics has allowed government indifferent to people until they get out of control.
Do you understand what absentee voting is for?
This year, I see that there are scandal cases by assemblymen and Cabinet ministers related with money and gender discrimination.
As I heard the news, I thought that if such assemblymen and politicians were from my electoral district and the ones whom I had voted for, I would feel ashamed.

Like today's composition, placing about politics or election on weblog or social networking service during the campaign period used to be regarded as illegal, but thanks to the change of time and law, not now.
Even so, politics is thought to be one of the taboos at conversation on business or private parties.
Have this unwritten law been used as polite excuse to stay ignorant about politics?
-Sometimes, we have to avoid talking about politics by necessity considering the interest of people around us.
We cannot talk about politics from the beginning if we are ignorant and inattentive, though.
This time, come to think of it, I confess I had an impression:
The current Prime Minister denied about the dissolve of Lower House at first, but the mood to dissolve arouse spontaneously from lawmakers side and the cabinet side bowed to pressure.
If they dissolved Lower House NOT for positive reason, it might be difficult for me to vote on positive reasons.
In the meantime, no matter how candidates try to delude me with flowery words, I'm going to decide whom to vote -and whom I don't vote by reviewing their move till now.

We must bring into question of low voting rate than vote-value disparity.
If you boycott election because of vote-value disparity, you can be playing right into hands of politicians who is going to do in their own sweet way with tax after winning organized vote.
Superfluously, I'd like to suggest again: If minus-voting system is introduced, voting rate will boost, I expect
-How do you express it in this language?
I mean, to cast negative vote to candidates whom you want to eliminate.
While national review of the judges of the Supreme Court in our country is negative-voting system...
