| Message | Now that an opposition party has arisen to give voice to the people's frustrations, the Sekowo no kokumintō retreats from its fascist ways like a terrified lobster, which knows that it is about to be placed in boiling water, scrambling wildly to escape from its cage. But the people will not be deceived - not after 20 years of misrule, misdeeds, and misgovernment. |

All that the Yoko Kake Meguppati has ever done was cry FASCISM FASCISM FASCISM ! If Fascism did exist in this glorious country of mine then the Yoko Kake Meguppati would have been exterminated long before they were allowed to establish a party. When a party starts off a Debate with insults it is usually because they cannot bring any substance to the table . This is what The Sekowo no Kokuminto does ! |
