裏金議員の地元が推薦するならOKか?
ある政党では、裏金議員の地元が推薦するなら公認候補として扱うという。法を犯した議員であっても地元国民が推薦するのだから(主権在民だから)その判断に従おうというのである。
この事は別の見方もできる。そのような幼稚で大人の判断が出来ない国民だから、裏金議員の推薦などという間違った行動を採るのであって、幼児に判断を委ねる事が間違いなのだという考えを持てないのだろうか?
このような正しい判断が出来ないのであれば、日本にとっては民主主義は無用の長物でしかないだろう。
Is it okay if the hometown of a politician who has slush fund recommends him?
One political party said that if the local government of a politician who has taken illegal donations recommends him, he will be treated as an officially endorsed candidate. It is that even if the politician has broken the law, the local people are recommending him (because sovereignty lies with the people), so they will follow that decision.
There is another way to look at this issue. Isn't it true that such immature people who are unable to make adult decisions are the ones who take the wrong action of recommending politicians with slush funds, and that entrusting decisions to young children is wrong?
If Japan is unable to make such correct decisions, democracy will be useless to it.
