Ampontan at Japundit has written a piece explaining Koizumi’s postal privatization bill and how it is supposed to work. He also goes into the opinions of those for and against privatization; a more in-depth analysis of the opposition is forthcoming.
I personally found the article very enlightening, as I had not previously understood the situation very well. Yet again Ampontan reminds me that Japan’s government is radically different from that of the U.S.
