I woke up at around 5:30 this morning, we had planned a very busy day! Karli and I were planning on moving out of our hotel, and taking a long train ride to Tok
yo so we could meet the Prime Minister. We were still riding on the train, but almost there. The the right we saw lots of amazing lights! Then Karli spotted an amazing landmark in Tokyo, The Tokyo Towers. Luckily, I got a snap shot of the Tokyo Towers shown above. Once we got off the train, We headed straight for Taro Aso's residents. After we got there Karli and I read some information about the current national government. I found the book right inside the front doors. We learnt that they have a constitutional government with a parliamentary government. We also learnt a few other interesting facts about Japan's government. Like: How the Cabinet is always appointed by the Prime Minister, and how in elections work. Elections in Japan is where everyone in Japan does research on different Parties and they vote who they want to have as the next Prime Minister. Another rule for elections is how majority rules, and how the leader of the majority party usually becomes Prime Minister for about 6 years. From reading I found out that there were three branches to the Japanese government. The Judaical Branch, the legislative, and the executive branch. The Judaical branch is the Supreme Court, The chief justice is appointed by the monarch after designation by the cabinet; all other justices are appointed by the cabin
et. The legislative branch is where members of Parliament become part of the government for six year terms, and there are 146 spots for members. Last, but not least the Executive branch! That is basically the head of the government Also known as Prime Minister, Taro Aso. One interesting fact I found about Japan's government, is how their political parties have different names. For example: The Democratic Party of Japan or the DPJ, The Japan Communist Party or the JCP, The Liberal Democratic Party or the LDP, and the Social Democratic Party or SDP. Once I got bored of the book, Karli and I walked upstairs to Taro Aso's room, to have tea and cake with him, I can't believe he invited us! I mean why us? It turned out he wanted to find out information about different countries, Like Canada and how their governments work. So we told him about ours, and he told us about his. It turned out our governments are very similar in a lot of ways, but also very different.
