Commentary – Japan’s Press fails to make nuclear energy the top election issue -
After Prime Minister Noda “dissolved” the Diet’s lower house to make
way for the national election on December 16, the Press has done its
best to make it seem that Japan’s nuclear energy policy issue is the one
of greatest importance. However, two comprehensive polls show that the
Press seems to have failed in their mission to put the nuclear issue at
the head of the political pack. Nuclear energy is not the most
important issue in in the public mind, ranking behind the state of the
economy, potential tax increases, and the military tensions between
Japan and
China.
Other updates - The politicians not in the LDP
expressed shock at the Kyodo and Yomiuri poll results. One party
incumbent from the Chubu region said, “It is all Noda’s fault.”... A
major earthquake struck the Tohoku region of Northeastern Japan today,
measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale. The earthquake had no impact on any
of the ten nuclear plants located at F. Daiichi and F. Daiini, and
radiation levels at F. Daiichi did not change.
