Top Japanese LDP official warns of split over postal bills
top policy-maker of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) warned Friday the LDP may split if Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi goes ahead with his plan to have four bills related to postal deregulation approved by the cabinet on April 26 despite opposition from a LDP panel.
“If it is on April 26, the party will split,” Taro Aso, chairman of the LDP Policy Research Council, told a meeting of the LDP Executive Council, according to participants.
