Prime Minister Takaichi is considering appointing lawmakers involved in the slush fund scandal, like those from the former Abe faction. And the reason for that is, "They've already faced the public's judgment through two elections."Does going through two elections just wipe away the responsibility for creating slush funds? Whose money do members of parliament work with? It's the taxpayers' money, duh.That's exactly why they need to be more accountable than ordinary people, right? Getting elected and wrapping up the responsibility for unreported political funds are two different things.
