nishio Some people say that “most voters don’t have the ability to think about policy,” but if the process of thinking about policy and the information and budgetary constraints that provide the material for thinking about policy are not made public, then no matter how capable the voter is, he or she will not be able to think about policy. However, if the process of thinking about policy and the information and budget constraints that are the materials for thinking about policy are not made public, no matter how capable the voters are, they will not be able to think about it. kmizu I’ve been thinking lately that the issue is that the information from each ministry is also pretty much a black box (like the process of reaching a decision, let alone the documents).

hazuma University students are very authoritarian, and when I was a graduate student, I was laughed at for reading Emory Gyosei and Žižek.
