plastic: Of COURSE he'll do it for free... but he'll gladly accept the usual Amakudari salary or a few hundred million yen/year, plus construction company kickbacks, etc.

More likely the people will vote in the LDP once more, because the DPJ are pretty much a joke. Then the LDP will say, 'we have a mandate for raising consumption tax!' Yippee.

"We will take power in the next House of Representatives election and will realize politics for the sake of the people."

You are making promises you cannot keep, Mr. Ozawa.
