"One thing really I would not want to receive from Prime Minister Fukuda Yasuo is an election. If in a sudden panic we hold a election, then the necks of those of us hailing from Tokyo will be likely lined up and mowed down."*This has been another edition of Yosano Kaoru bluntly tells folks the ugly facts of life.

* Original final phrase as quoted : 「東京出身の我々は首を並べて討ち死にする可能性が高い。」
A good turn of phrase. In earlier eras that would not have been a figure of speech, of course. Politics were certainly more robust a few hundred years ago.
