One month left until Obama signs the TPP on February 4th.
Even if Congress does not ratifies TPP, it will go into full force in 2018 because the last section in the TPP clearly states it must have 6 ratifications by that time.
And Japan is getting close to revise General MacArthur's post war constitution going back to the pre-WWII days were Japanese women have no rights, japanese wives were confined to their homes as their husbands go off to die for the emperor. I understand that Emperor and the imperial royal family should've been killed, but it would make it worse, Emperor was reduced to become a symbol of the state.
Opposition parties are just nowhere having alternatives. And even if Prime Minister Abe gets supermajority in both houses of the Diet. It will be almost difficult to get a majority of the Japanese population to approve it The Far-right Liberal Democratic Party are just as Nazi Germany was when it was an ally in the Axis Powers even though the Germans apologized for the atrocities they committed.
