与野党9党は22日、衆院選挙制度見直しに関する実務者協議を国会内で開いた。自民党の鈴木馨祐元法相は議員定数削減を巡る「折衷案」として、比例代表の削減幅を45議席から31議席に縮小した案を提示。各党は持ち帰った。国民民主党が一定の理解を示す一方、日本維新の会は態度を保留。国民民主以外の野党は反発しており、10月末までに意見集約を図れるかは不透明だ。

31議席削減は「人口減少に応じて議員定数を減らすのは合理性がある」とする国民民主の主張を踏まえ、2015年から30年までの人口減少率を6.7%として算出した。関連法案の今国会成立に向けて国民民主を切り崩す狙いがある。

協議後、45議席削減を掲げてきた維新の金村龍那総務会長は「自民としっかり協議しなければならない」と記者団に説明。国民民主の古川元久代表代行は「45削減よりましだ」と語り、党内で議論する考えを示した。

Male lineage adoptions from former imperial families now possible; female members of the imperial family retain their status even after marriage - Revised Imperial House Law enacted
