Constitutional Democratic Party leader Noda said on the 6th that, regarding whether to submit a no-confidence motion against the Cabinet, he would make a comprehensive decision after discussing with other opposition parties in advance, and also expressed his intention to ask whether they would consider submitting it jointly.

Regarding the handling of the no-confidence motion against the Cabinet, opposition parties made a series of statements on the 7th.

LDPs Representative Noda: Whether or not to submit it is still neutral. Representative Noda of the Constitutional Democratic Party told reporters in Tokyo, We are still neutral on whether or not to submit it.

I said, We should talk to other parties in advance, meaning that it wouldnt be right to just submit it out of the blue, but there havent been any detailed discussions about how to make the decision or anything like that, he said.

Also, regarding the abolition of the provisional gasoline tax rate, We want to have final discussions with the Japan Innovation Party and the Democratic Party for the People, and, after going through each partys internal procedures, compile it into a single bill by the middle of next week.

I want to be able to abolish it as early as possible, he said.

Ishin Co-leader Maehara: “We will carefully examine the reasons for submission and make a decision.” Nippon Ishin no Kai co-leader Maehara told reporters in Mito City, “Our stance remains unchanged: if the Constitutional Democratic Party, the largest opposition party, submits it, we will carefully examine the reasons for submission and then decide.”

Regarding pros and cons, we will make a comprehensive decision, taking into account the fact that we have worked together with the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito to achieve reforms such as making education free and lowering social insurance premiums.

National Democratic Party leader Tamaki: We will respond after hearing the Constitutional Democratic Partys views. At a press conference held in Osaka, National Democratic Party leader Tamaki said, I would first like to hear what kind of thoughts and strategies the Constitutional Democratic Party has regarding whether or not they will submit a no-confidence motion against the Cabinet. Based on that, we will consider how our party will respond.

Also, regarding how to respond if a resolution is submitted, As for us, last December we agreed with the LDP and Komeito party secretaries-general to raise the 1.03 million yen annual income threshold to aim for 1.78 million yen, and to abolish the provisional gasoline tax rate, but we recognize that neither has been fully achieved.

He said, I cant say that we are in a situation where we can place our full trust in them.
