Kokumin Ikari no Koe
Kokumin Ikari no Koe (Japanese: 国民怒りの声, Angry Voice of the Citizens) is a proposed Japanese political organization to be formed by Keio University professor and Constitutional scholar Setsu Kobayashi.[1][2]
Kobayashi, who was insipired by U.S. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, is forming the party to reverse the policies of Prime Minister Shinzō Abe. The party's name is based on the anger of both Kobayashi and the Japanese people at Japanese politics, not only at the heavy-handedness of the ruling coalition (Liberal Democratic Party (Japan) and Komeitō, but also disappointment at the opposition (Democratic Party, Japanese Communist Party and others).
The party policies will include scrapping the security laws passed by the Abe cabinet, halting revision of the Japanese Constitution, restoring freedom of speech, and reducing the dependency of nuclear power.
Kobayashi will also run for a seat in the Upper House election in July.
