Mr. Katz-

Section 132 of the LDP 2012 election manifesto promises to re-examine the current policy of leaving the islands uninhabited and to study the possible permanent stationing of civil servants (komuin) on the islands .

Since the promise is merely to take a look at changes in current policies, not to effect actual change, the LDP and Abe Shinzo cannot be held accountable for inaction post-election.
