日本第24届参议院选举与修宪势力的扩张

The 24th Senate Election and Expansion of the Revisionist Forces in Japan

2016年7月10日,在日本第24届参议院选举中,修宪势力占据了发起修宪动议所需的三分之二以上议席,小党则处于更加严峻的境地。如何评价"安倍经济学"是本届参议院选举的最大争论点,执政党势力在选举竞争中特意回避了修宪问题。受本届参议院选举结果的影响,安倍内阁将在密切关注日本国内修宪政治生态变化的基础上,采取"柔性"的政治运营手法来推进修宪路线。

In the 24th Senate election of Japan held on July 10 of 2016, the revisionist forces have taken more than two-thirds of the seats needed to initiate an amendment to the constitution, while the small parties are in a more difficult development position. As how to evaluate the gains and losses of the 'Abenomics' was the biggest debate focus of the current Senate election, the ruling party had intentionally evaded the issue of amending constitution during the election campaign. With the result of the current Senate election, the Abe administration is likely to take a 'flexible' political approach to advance the line of constitution amendment, while following closely the political ecological changes of constitution amendment within Japan.
