高市早苗首相の内閣改造、入閣待機組の起用が焦点に

Quick Look

高市早苗首相が17日にも実施する内閣改造では、自民党の入閣待機組の起用が焦点となる。主要閣僚の留任や日本維新の会の閣内協力が進む中、入閣枠は狭まりそう。特に2012年衆院選で初当選した『安倍チルドレン』の中心である6期生は待機組で最も人数が多く、焦りを募らせている。首相は役職希望アンケートを重視する方針だが、実績評価への懸念も根強い。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

自民党ではかつて派閥が入閣適齢期の議員の意向を踏まえて首相に推薦リストを提出するのが通例だったが、裏金事件を受けて麻生派を除く派閥が解散し、状況が変わった。

高市早苗首相が17日にも実施する内閣改造では、自民党の「入閣待機組」の起用も焦点となる。主要閣僚の留任や、日本維新の会の閣内協力が固まりつつあり、入閣枠は「狭き門」となりそうだ。特に、2012年衆院選で初当選した「安倍チルドレン」が中心の6期生は、待機組の中で人数が最も多く、焦りを募らせている。

高市首相、閣僚担務再編へ 「復興・防災」兼務検討―消費税担当の新設浮上・内閣改造

自民で初入閣の目安は、衆院当選5回以上、参院当選3回以上とされる。しかし、6期生は57人中49人が未入閣。その一人は最近、周囲から入閣の話題を振られ、「あおらないでほしい」と弱音を漏らした。

閣僚数の上限は18。このうち、首相は木原稔官房長官、片山さつき財務相、茂木敏充外相、小泉進次郎防衛相を続投させ、政権の骨格を維持する方向だ。維新からも1人の起用で調整が進む。さらなる留任や再登板、女性・若手の抜てきがあれば、待機組の入閣枠は一段と少なくなる。

自民ではかつて、派閥が入閣適齢期の議員の意向も踏まえ、首相に推薦リストを提出するのが通例で、「年功序列」の色が濃かった。しかし、裏金事件を受けて麻生派を除く派閥が解散し、状況は大きく変わった。

首相は今回、党所属議員に実施した役職希望アンケートを重視する方針だ。8日の党役員会では「全て拝読した。党の豊富な人材力を実感した」と強調。政権幹部は「首相は当選回数を気にしない。やる気と能力で判断する」との見方を示す。

待機組のある6期生は、アンケートに希望する閣僚ポストを明記。用紙一面に意欲を書き込んだという。

ただ、首相がアンケートのみで適性を判断できるのか、疑問視する声は党内に根強い。党関係者は「実績のアピールが上手な議員が報われるだけにならないか」と不安を口にした。

80% of unmarried men and women both say they intend to get married for the first time; Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Basic Survey on Birth Trends

In a basic survey on birth trends conducted by the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research, the percentage of unmarried people aged 18 to 34 who answered, ``I plan to get married someday'' fell below 80% for the first time for both men and women. This is partly due to the increase in the number of people who are not dissatisfied with their single lives.
