是改头换面的时候了
Yet the buffers may be the best place for Japan. Or rather, a general election—perhaps a string of elections—offers the best chance of forcing parties to confront their inconsistencies, offering voters real choices rather than candidates who compete to bring home the bacon.
然而缓冲是日本最好的选择。更准确的说是举行大选—也许一系列选举—才是迫使政党直面自身矛盾,还选民真正选择权 (而不是什么只会假公济私的候选人)的最佳时机。JapainFeb 21st 2008
