Diet to convene for three days from Dec 24

4 Comments

A special three-day session of the Diet will be convened on Dec 24, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Thursday.

On the first day, Shinzo Abe is expected to be re-elected prime minister and president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Abe's re-election will be a mere formality as the LDP and its coalition partner Komeito have a two-thirds majority in the lower house following last Sunday's election.

No new bills will be introduced.

The next regular Diet session will be convened in late January.

Its going to take three days to do this??

Okay, now I am wondering what tax paid perks they will be enjoying for three days just to confirm a fore-gone conclusion.

Or is that a state secret?

I'm wondering what laws are going to be steamrollered through now they've officially denied they're planning to.

And we'll never know because a pound to a penny says they'll be covered under the Secrecy Act and we'll only find out once we've broken them.

I hope Komeito's MPs will vote down Casino bill when LDP's pro-Casino MPs put legislation in Diet next year.

Shocking waste of tax payes money, shameless nonsense dressed up as democratic vanity.
