The political faction Ishin looks towards the coming year as a crucial point for assessing their coalition's achievements. The coalition, having taken several decisions and participated in various political activities, will face public scrutiny. Issues like public sentiment, policy effectiveness, and election prospects become pivotal in this context. As the New Year marks the start of another assessment period, the party seeks beneficial public opinion and policy approval.

In Japan, the success of a political coalition heavily depends on its public approval and performance of its policies. Parties like Ishin have been influential in shaping the political climate. The New Year period, being a symbolic threshold for annual evaluation, gains significant public attention. Elections, public sentiment, governmental decisions, and policy executions are hot topics during this time.

In the US or EU, political coalitions too face similar challenges. They undergo public scrutiny, particularly around the turn of the year or during election seasons. However, one key difference is that in countries like the US, two-party systems dominate, making coalitions less common than in Japan.
