On Thursday, the heads of two divisions of the Liberal Democratic Party, Yasutaka Nakasone from the Youth Division and Akiko Honda from the Women’s Affairs Division, approached Ichiro Aisawa, who leads the party’s Presidential Election Administration Committee. They proposed the idea of organizing public debates featuring the party’s presidential candidates and expressed a desire for these debates to become a regular occurrence within the party.
Ichiro Aisawa responded positively to their suggestion, indicating he would take their proposal into account. He emphasized the need for the debates to be interactive and to align with the current standards of the LDP. The proposal outlined plans for these debates to last 90 minutes, with an extension to 120 minutes if there are multiple candidates participating, and requested that the events be live-streamed for broader accessibility.

More public debates? It just seems like they want to confuse the public with jargon.

Rather than debates, how about they actually focus on real policies that matter?
