Japan’s Press fails to make nuclear energy the top election issue

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.
