World Party Japan is a Japanese branch of World Party. Word Party was founded
in order to establish the World Government and is composed of branches
in each country. Headquarters and President have not been decided yet.
Although the basic policy of World Party is to establish the World Government,
World Party has, like other parties, policies for actual problems. The
policies of World Party Japan are written in Policy of World Party Japan. With regard to the economic system, World Party Japan supports the liberal
economic system like those in Japan and USA. The branches of World Party
are listed in the Branch List. Major policies of World Party Japan are
as follows.
Establishment of World Federation and World Government The basic benefits from the World Government are as follows.
The policy of World Party is based on the paper "International Party for the World Government" which is published from the World Government Institute mentioned below. Following policy is a modified one from the above paper. The basic policy is to directly elect the representatives of each country in proportion to population and send them to the World Parliament. The World Parliament which is proposed in the paper is composed of 2 houses and each house has basically 1,000 members. A numerical example of apportionment of member is as follows. It is assumed that the world population is 6 billion, of which China 1 billion and 180 million, India 956 million, USA 266 million, Japan 132 million, Western Samoa 161 thousand, and Cocos Islands 1 thousand. Total number of parliament member is basically 1,000, so the members from China are 196.6667, from India 159.3333, from USA 44.3333, from Japan 22.0000, from Western Samoa 0.0268, and from Cocos Islands 0.0002. In this case, the members from China are 197 of which the last member has the 0.6667 vote. Similarly, members from India are 160 of which the last member has the 0.3333 vote, USA 45 members of which the last member has the 0.3333 vote, Japan 22 members. The member from Western Samoa is 1 who has the 0.0268 vote and Cocos Islands 0.0002. Therefore, the total number of vote is approximately 1,000 but the total number of member is more than 1,000. Thus, this policy is to get the support of people by electing the representatives from each country in proportion to population. This is based on the thought that only the support of people can establish and maintain the World Government. The World Party in each country fights the election insisting its main policy and, after getting the power, it will enact the law for that and conduct the election. For example, in Japan, if the World Party gets the power, it will enact the law, conduct the election, and elect 22 representatives to the World Parliament. On the other hand, if the World Party gets the power in USA, it will elect 45 representatives. Even if the election is conducted in only 2 countries, it can form a part of the World Parliament. Other countries can join later. Thus, a part of the World Parliament can develop to the entire World Parliament. The World Parliament on the early stage is a consultative assembly without legislative power. This is similar to the European Parliament. So each country and region remains independent and has no duty to follow the decision of World Parliament. So, even if China and India collaborate, they cannot rule the world dominantly. If this World Parliament works well, it will be vested the legislative power and enact the World Constitution. Like this, from a part of the World Parliament, it will become the true World Parliament. The members sent from each country and region must be those directly elected by people. So, even if a country under dictatorship sends the members without election, they are not treated as parliament members. In this case, they can be treated as observers and they can vote as observers. Their votes are counted separately from official members. In these days, most countries and regions send representatives to Olympic Games. So it does not seem impossible to send the representatives to the World Parliament. World Party authorizes other parties if their policy on the World Government matches with that of World Party. For example, World Party will authorizes Liberal Democratic Party in Japan, Democratic Party in USA, Congress Party in India, Communist Party in China, etc. if their policy matches with that of World Party. Thus existing parties also can become the international party for the World Government. Respect for the United Nations As we can know from the bombing on Afghanistan, USA, the most powerful country in the world, does not respect the United Nations. We can say that the respect for United Nations is the first step to the world democracy. Mahatma Gandhi Initiative Mahatma Gandhi led India to independence by the policy of Non-Violence & Disobedience. This policy is applicable to the present situation of world politics. Nuclear states are dominant because of their military power. But non-nuclear states need not rely on the military power. Non-nuclear states can unite and put sanctions against nuclear-states. For example, non-nuclear states can put high tariff rate barrier against nuclear states. Or, they can boycott the products from the nuclear-states. Like this, non-nuclear states can, by uniting together, insist their opinion against nuclear-states. So this policy was named, with the respect for Mahatma Gandhi, "Mahatma Gandhi Initiative." Of course, Mahatma Gandhi Initiative is applicable not only for the nuclear states but also for other militarily or economically powerful states. For example, if some come countries attack other countries without resolution of United Nations, products from those countries should be boycotted or trade should be restricted by tariff barrier by the Mahatma Gandhi Initiative.Abolition of Emperor System and Denouncement of US-Japan Security Treaty The war of Japan had finished in 1945. Since then, economy of Japan has been growing smoothly and joined the members of advanced countries. Peace and prosperity have been continuing under the regime of democracy. But many Japanese forget that democracy and peace of Japan have been maintained under the situation where the US army is staying in Japan according to the US-Japan Security Treaty and have not been maintained by the force of Japanese itself. Here, we need to review the prewar period history where there was no army of foreign country. The following is an outline of history of modern Japan.1853: Commodore Perry came to Uraga. Next year, US-Japan Peace Treaty was concluded. 1861: Civil War in USA 1867: Restoration of Imperial Rule. The fall of Edo Shogunate (Japan's feudal government at Edo (present: Tokyo)) 1874: Dispatch of troops to Taiwan 1889: Promulgation of the Constitution of Great Japanese Empire. Establishment of prewar Emperor System 1894: Sino-Japanese War 1904: Russo-Japanese War 1910: Annexation of Korea 1914: World War I 1920: Entry into the League of Nations 1931: Manchurian Incident 1932: 5.15 Incident. Prime Minister Tsuyoshi Inukai was murdered. 1933: Withdrawal from the League of Nations 1936: 2.26 Incident. Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahashi and others were murdered. 1939: World War II 1941: In November, USA presented the Hull=Note which required concessions such as the withdrawal of Japan from China and Vietnam. In December, the Pacific War. 1945: The end of the war. Next year, announcement of the Constitution of Japan. Emperor became the symbol of Japan. Like this, until US Commodore Perry came to Uraga in 1853, Japan was in the Edo Period and almost completely under the isolation policy. Until then, Japan had been ruled by the Edo Shogunate and Emperor had been customarily respected as a head of Imperial Palace. Each feudal clan against the Edo Shogunate gathered under the Emperor in order to overthrow the Edo Shogunate. After the fall of Shogunate, the Constitution of Great Japanese Empire was promulgated in 1889 and the constitution expressly prescribed that the Emperor shall rule Japan. In 1945 the World War II ended, and in 1946 the Constitution of Japan was announced and the Emperor lost the political power and became the symbol of Japan. In the Edo period the Emperor customarily appointed the Shogun of Shogunate, from the Meiji Period until 1945 he ruled Japan for himself, and in the postwar period he became the symbol and appoints the Prime Minister following the nomination of Diet. Like this, Japan has changed from a feudal country to a democratic country in less than 100 years. History of democracy of Japan is still shallow as compared with that of USA where the domestic war was eradicated and the democracy was established after the Civil War in 1861. And above all, the democracy in Japan has been maintained under the presence of US army in Japan and have not been maintained by the force of Japanese itself. As for the history of wars of Japan with foreign countries, Japan advanced to Asia step by step. When Japan advanced to Manchuria and caused the Manchurian Incident in 1931, the Chinese Nationalist Party appealed to the League of Nations and the League, accepting this, dispatched the Lytton Investigation Committee to Manchuria. In 1933, the general assembly of the League passed, with 42 : 1 (1 is Japan) and 1 abstention, the advisory opinion toward Japan which required the withdrawal from Manchuria and other concessions. But Japan withdrew from the League. There is an opinion that, in 1941, USA came up with the Hull=Note which contained the unacceptable requirements such as withdrawal from China and Vietnam, and so Japan had to open the war against USA. But we should think that at the point of withdrawal from the League, Japan had already been on the route of invasion. On the other hand, in Japan, the military coups, 5.15 Incident and 2.26 Incident, were carried out by young officers of the navy and the army who support the Emperor, and VIPs of government such as Prime Minister Tsuyoshi Inukai or Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahashi and others were murdered. Although the rebel armies were suppressed and punished, these coups made the parliamentarism powerless and Japan proceeded to the militarism. We can think that if the powerful troop like US army were staying in the country, military coups like 5.15 Incident and 2.26 Incident did not occur and the democracy did not collapse. Japan and Germany are same in the point that the democracy which was established to some extent collapsed. On the other hand, in the present day, Japan has become a democratic and peaceful country. But they are the democracy and peace under the presence of US army in Japan based on the US-Japan Security Treaty. If the Security Treaty is denounced and the US army withdraws from Japan, Japan will enter into the circumstances under which military coups like those in prewar period may occur, the parliamentarism loses its power, and the militarism may come. But Japan is same as a colony as far as the troop of foreign country is staying in the country like now. It is needless to say, if we see the present diplomacy of Japan. It is a natural stream that Japanese will try to recover the dignity of independent country. But, if the US army withdraws from Japan, the situation will be same as the prewar period. Therefore, we inevitably reach the conclusion that the way of Japan is to denounce the US-Japan Security Treaty after abolishing the Emperor System that was the axis of militarism and introducing the President System. This is a natural conclusion if we consider what Japanese army did in the war, that Japan was defeated after being bombed by the atomic bomb, and that the top of regime of Japan was the Emperor. At the same time, in the process of abolishing the Emperor System and introducing the President System, we must watch the attitude of members of Self-Defense Forces so that the Forces will stay under the civilian control. Persons who may revive the militarism must not be given important positions in Self-Defense Forces. Thus, Japanese must become a nation who can maintain the democracy and peace by its own force. Originally, the Emperor was the authority which a person in power in the feudal age revered in order to make the nation obey, and the power of person in power was hereditary. The fact that the Emperor is hereditary means that privileged people around the Emperor are also hereditary. This is contradictory to democracy. In the present age where the world can exchange information at the grass-roots level through the Inter Net, the democracy is just the inevitable stream of history. Abolition of Emperor System is necessary also for the reconstruction of national finance of Japan. Debts of national finance of Japan is about 200% of GDP in 2010. There were some bankruptcies of national finance in the history of Japan. Bankruptcy of national finance occurred when the Shogunate that worshiped the Emperorwas was ruling Japan. And in the present age, Emperor is stipulated by the constitution as the symbol of Japan. So, the Emperor System must be abolished to reconstruct the national finance of Japan. This point is explained in more detail in the page Policy of World Party Japan. But if US army leaves Japan, nuclear umbrella over Japan is removed. So World Federation and World Government must be established before US army leaves Japan. So Japan also needs World Federation and World Government. The abolition of Emperor System in Japan is not the matter for Japan only. Asian countries invaded by Japan in the prewar period are afraid of Japan's return to militarism. If Japan abolishes the Emperor System, introduces the President System, denounces the US-Japan Security Treaty, and becomes the truly democratic country, it will be a great benefit for Asian countries and the world. This is a matter to be discussed at the level of United Nations. Web Master of this site thinks that the Emperor is a great tradition of Japan, but it should not be in the political system but in the private sector and should be respected by a custom of society. Like status and holly land such as the Pope and Vatican of Christianity, Mecca of Islam, Varanasi of Hinduism, etc. that are respected by custom, the Emperor should be respected by custom. At the time of abolition of Emperor System, a compensation such as lump sum, pension, etc. to Imperial Family and related people will be necessary. If the Emperor System is abolished, alternative authority to rule Japan is necessary. Political party that cooperates internationally can be the authority stronger that the Emperor. World Party was founded based on such a thought. Anyone who supports the policy of World Party can join the party and the member fee is free. When some members gathered, we will have a conference and discuss the plan for election. Anyone who wants to found a branch of World Party can apply for it. Now World Party Japan Statute is being prepared. World Party Japan is cooperating with following groups. Information such as news, schedule of movement etc. are shown in World Party Forum.
