消費税減税反対議員リストの衝撃

自民党の一部リベラル派議員が消費税減税に反対したことについて、学生として考えたことをまとめます。前総理の石破氏をはじめ、 河野太郎 古川禎久

西田昌司 中谷元 小渕優子 稲田ともみ 宗清皇一 渡海紀三郎

大岡敏孝 臼井正一 古川禎久 宗清皇一 が採決を欠席しました。欠席として言及されていた石破茂氏や船田元氏も同じムジナだと思います。

彼らは衆院選で減税を公約に掲げていたのに、欠席した神経がわかりません

理由として「先人に申し訳ない」「財政悪化」を挙げますが、根拠として、納得いく国民はいるのでしょうか？反対したとされる議員は、除名で妥当と感じます。

The Shock of the List of Lawmakers Who Opposed a Consumption Tax Cut

We summarize our thoughts, from a student’s perspective, on the opposition to a consumption tax cut by certain liberal-leaning members of the Liberal Democratic Party. Starting with former Prime Minister Ishiba, the following lawmakers were absent from the vote: Taro Kono, Yoshihisa Furukawa, Shoji Nishida, Gen Nakatani, Yuko Obuchi, Tomomi Inada, Koichi Munekiyo, Kisaburo Tokai, Toshitaka Ooka, and Shoichi Usui. Yoshihisa Furukawa and Koichi Munekiyo were each listed twice. Former Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and Hajime Funada, who were also mentioned as having been absent, are no different from the others, in my view.

They had campaigned in the House of Representatives election on a pledge to cut the consumption tax, yet they were absent from the vote. I cannot understand how they could do such a thing.

They cite reasons such as “it would be disrespectful to our predecessors” and “it would worsen the nation’s finances.” But are there really any members of the public who find these reasons convincing? I feel that expulsion is an appropriate measure for the lawmakers said to have opposed the cut.
