The head of the country¡¯s largest nationalist lobby group told reporters Wednesday that he believes Japan¡¯s pacifist Constitution will be revised in 10 years and that the country will turn into ¡°a normal nation¡± thanks to the results of Sunday¡¯s Upper House election.
¡°For the first time in the postwar period, (pro-revision parties) have occupied more than two-thirds of both the Lower and Upper houses. This is a prefect chance, and the very first opportunity we¡¯ve had,¡± said Tadae Takubo, chairman of Nippon Kaigi (Japan Conference), during a news conference at the Foreign Correspondents¡¯ Club of Japan in Tokyo.
¡°If I was in the position of Prime Minister (Shinzo) Abe, I would do everything I could with all my strength¡± to revise the Constitution, he said.
