I think a difference between Koike and the LDP is her neoliberal thinking
in dealing with the economy. She thinks like her mentor former Premier
Koizumi much more in neoliberal terms than premier minister Abe. So she
wants to finish Abe¹s policy of QE and she wants to increase the consume
tax.
Because she follows this her neoliberal thinking this is a reason she
doesn¹t want the liberal or in fact social democratic thinking politician
frome the Minshinto as members of the Kibo no To.
