Kamei says agree with me or dismiss me to Hatoyama

I'll take full responsibility for the following comments, however it should be noted I am merely paraphrasing Ikeda Nobuo's blog post on the matter plus adding a few gratuitous comments myself. That is the following is way too loose and far from the original to be called a translation, but it's something like that:

While Ozawa and Hatoyama were out of town, Shizuka Kamei escalated things by upping the ante on his bid to have a moratorium on loan payments for small to middle size companies. He basically said that he should be dismissed if Hatoyama doesn't support the idea. He is being bold because he knows that the DPJ need his vote (and his tiny party's vote) in the upper house because the DPJ lack a complete majority there. The implications of the 10/25 upper house supplemental election are very important. If the DPJ can obtain the two vacant seats in that election, they perhaps can put together an alliance minus Shizuka Kamei and his party, and still have a majority. Then Shizuka Kamei can be dismissed from his post. Shizuka Kamei shooting off his mouth on TV causes people to doubt the unity of the Hatoyama's cabinet. Hatoyama and Ozawa need to work together to first shut down Kamei's loud mouth, then win the supplemental election so Kamei can be dismissed.

If it were only so easy. We'll see. Gosh, how I dislike politics.
