According to Nippon Television and other Japanese media reports, the full session of the Japanese House of Representatives passed the consumption tax reduction bill submitted by the Takaichi government on November 6. Before voting, four members of the Liberal Democratic Party, including former Japanese Prime Minister Ishiwari Shigeru, withdrew. This move angered senior Liberal Democratic Party officials. They thought it was a “rebellion” against the Liberal Democratic Party led by Sanae Takaichi. According to Japanese media analysis, the Liberal Democratic Party has very little seat advantage in the Senate. If any Liberal Democratic Party senator adopts a similar approach, this will hurt Takaichi Sanae. Regarding the Liberal Democratic Party's internal opposition to this bill, some Japanese netizens said that in fact, this is an “empty bill.”
