本日のお題は岸田総理に危険物を投げた容疑者のお話。記事はこちら

 

exerciseに以下のようなものがあった。

Do you think this incident will impact the upcoming local elections in Japan?

 

私の答。

Yes, I do.

Because It became difficult for us to get closer to candidates in local campaigns.

 

しかし、これは困るのだ。

Local campaigns have been the only chance to demand politicians directly.

 

以前、私は横須賀市市議会議員のときに、直接自民党公認候補に以下のような要約をしたことがある。

I asked one councilor for cooperation in widening a sidewalk of a heavy traffic road.

To tell the truth, his election campaign offic  had been made the sidewalk narrow.

He always said that he wanted to protect the lives of people in Yokosuka city.

If so, he should have destroyed his office to widen the sidewalk.

Ultimately, he destroyed part of the office to widen the sidewalk.

The sidewalk was too narrow to pass each other. 

One of them must get off the sidewalk.

But the road is heavy traffic.

A car passes right next to a person who got off the sidewalk at a tremendous speed.

It was dangerous so much.

But now. the sidewalk has been widened, and the people can pass each other.

 

めでたし。

めでたし😁
