Today marks the 70th anniversary of the Japanese Constitution’s enforcement.
Japan’s legislative system is in urgent need of comprehensive reform. The fundamental problem is poorly motivated and inefficient legislators. Japan should install a modified committee-style Diet and amend relevant laws as needed to keep pace with changing times. Lawmakers should be closely attuned to public opinion at all times, with 1/4 of all members facing election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
