FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Ozawa – who has now resigned from no fewer than three separate political parties in a 43-year political career – has insisted that he will fight on in the Diet and will set up a new party patterned on the “Olive Tree coalition” that was tried in Italy in the 1990s.
“He is very good at getting people together and then making him follow him, but when things do not go his way he just leaves,” said Steven Reed, a professor of politics at Chuo University. “I really don’t think that his new party will do very well because Ozawa does not seem to realise just how unpopular he is.”
Many in the party and the general public dislike Ozawa’s “bully-boy” approach to politics and the taint of corruption that clings to him. Ozawa was forced to resign as DPJ leader in May 2009 after being unable to shake off accusations of accepting bribes from a construction company and was acquitted in April this year of breaking political funding laws – although three aides were found guilty of falsifying entries in connection with a Y400 million (£3 million) land deal that dates back to 2004.
While Mr Noda has the option of soldiering on with his narrow majority, more defections would leave him with a minority government and he is expected to call an election for later in the summer.
