Impact of Moriya scandal
Posted by Matt Dioguardi on October 24th, 2007
There’s a good article on the Moriya scandal, and its impact on the current political situation in the Yomiuri this morning. It’s well worth reading.
I can’t help but think that the scandal is not really significant as it is probably only a minor representative element of an entire system of systematic collusion. There is something frustrating in watching so much venting over the scandal without an accompanying analysis of a system that would have allowed for the scandal to have taken place so naturally. In essence, political maneuverings for public gains without a debate over anything substantial. The electorate seem all to willing here to be taken for a ride.
