Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
My question is to Professor Bennett, who at the the tail end of his presentation made some comments about political parties. I'd like to hear more about that. What are your thoughts as to how they should be regulated? Should it be like everyone else or should it be some other form of regulation?
I've been a member of a political party for some time and I observe other political parties and sometimes they tend to be mischievous. I know people wonder whether that's possible or not, but they are. They're mischievous. Particularly if they're in opposition, they like to tie up the bureaucrats to make them do work that maybe they don't really need. That's only one example, but there might be other examples.
Here's my question. I'm interested in that topic because it seems to me from my observation—some of my colleagues may not agree with me—that they should be regulated, and I'd like to hear more of your thoughts.
