The Japanese Communist Party adopts democratic centralism in order to unite as one and confront the opposing side. It criticizes the methods used by other parties, under which politicians belonging to the same party sometimes advocate completely different policies. I am aware that there are voices criticizing the democratic centralism adopted by the Japanese Communist Party, but it is rather the other parties that are currently inconsistent, and they are the ones that should be criticized. Otherwise, voters would not know what criteria to use when making judgments. I follow almost all of the Japanese Communist Party’s elections nationwide, and while there are differences in the intensity of policies rooted in local areas among candidates, they never claim fundamentally different things. This is also the basis for the credibility of the Japanese Communist Party.
