For Takaichi, the bill is a test of coalition management. Completing the secondary-capital bill would help show that the coalition can deliver for both partners. Opposition parties have attacked the bill as a political bargain between the LDP and Ishin rather than a serious disaster-preparedness measure. In the Diet, Takaichi must finish the extended session without deepening the impression that her government is forcing bills through for coalition convenience. Coalition management with Ishin will remain important after the session, especially if secondary-capital legislation passes but seat-reduction reform remains unresolved.
