42 years ago today, on November 28, 1983 (October 24, 1983 in the lunar calendar), Japanese Prime Minister Nakasone announced the dissolution of the House of Representatives. Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone (in office from 1982 to 1987) On November 28, 1983, after the 100th (Provisional) National Assembly of Japan passed all the bills reviewed by the current National Assembly, the opposition party submitted a cabinet no-confidence motion to the National Assembly, and Prime Minister Nakasone immediately announced the dissolution of the House of Representatives. According to the Japanese Constitution, the dissolution of the House of Representatives will disqualify members of the House of Representatives for a four-year term. In addition to the cabinet having the right to directly dissolve the House of Representatives, it can also dissolve the House of Representatives by reading the Emperor's edict based on the cabinet's recommendation and recognition. After the House of Representatives is dissolved, the Senate closes at the same time and the Congress session ends. The general election will be held within 40 days from the date of dissolution. Members of the current House of Representatives were elected three and a half years ago when the Ohira cabinet dissolved the National Assembly and held a general election. Before announcing the dissolution of the House of Representatives this time, although the Socialist Party and other opposition parties proposed a no-confidence motion against the cabinet, the House of Representatives did not review it. Instead, in accordance with Article 7 of the Constitution, the cabinet decided to dissolve it by reading out the Emperor's edict of dissolution. After the dissolution of the House of Representatives, Prime Minister Nakasone convened a temporary cabinet meeting and decided to issue a campaign announcement on December 3 and vote on December 18. The dissolution of this session of Congress is called "negotiated dissolution." On November 12, in order to break the deadlock surrounding Tanaka's resignation as a congressman that prevented Congress from reviewing the bill for a month, Nakasone told the opposition party through the Speaker of the House and Senate that if all the bills were passed in this session of Congress, Congress would be dissolved within the year and a general election was held. Only then did the opposition party resume deliberation of the bill. The opposition party believes that it is a victory for the opposition party to force the Liberal Democratic Party to the point of having to dissolve the National Assembly when advising Tanaka to resign as a member of parliament. For Nakasone, who has just been in power for a year, whether the bill can be passed in all respects is related to the foundation of his regime. At the Senate plenary session held on the morning of the 28th, 19 bills on administrative reform were passed. The passage of all bills created conditions for Nakasone to dissolve the National Assembly on schedule. Japanese public opinion believes that although the resolution advising Tanaka to resign as a member of parliament has become repealed in this session of parliament, this issue will still become the focus of Japan's political situation in the future. In the upcoming election campaign, the opposition party will use the verdict on Tanaka as a turning point to investigate the Liberal Democratic Party's political ethics attitude in order to break the situation of the Liberal Democratic Party's one-party rule. The Liberal Democratic Party will win the hearts of the people and recover losses on issues such as administrative reform, fiscal reconstruction, economic measures, and diplomacy and security. Whether the Liberal Democratic Party can continue to maintain a stable majority in the House of Representatives will directly affect the stability of Nakasone's regime.
