先日から参議院選挙の選挙活動が始まりました。
今回も多少の変動はあっても、与党が過半数を占めるのではないかなと個人的には感じています。
最近では特に不祥事が起こることもなく、政策が失敗しているわけでもないので野党の与党批判ではなく、いつもより自分たちの政策を街頭演説で話しているように思います。
皮肉なことに内閣支持率は首相が頑張れば頑張るほど一定数の反対層が生まれるわけで、「何もしてない」というときこそ支持率は高い水準で維持されるという仕組みになっています。
最近では新しく政党になった「NHK党」や「参政党」や「れいわ新撰組」が支持を強めているように思います。若者をターゲットにしたSNSでの発信や、従来の政治家とは少し違い、演説もしながら対話を図るようにしていることが大きな要因でしょうか？
皆さんはどの政党の誰に１っ票を投じるでしょうか？
前置きが長くなりましたが、今回紹介する本も選挙に関連したものです。
あらすじ
OL二ノ宮こと葉は、想いをよせていた幼なじみ厚志の結婚式に最悪の気分で出席していた。ところがその結婚式で涙が溢れるほど感動する衝撃的なスピーチに出会う。それは伝説のスピーチライター久遠久美の祝辞だった。空気を一変させる言葉に魅せられてしまったこと葉はすぐに弟子入り。久美の教えを受け、「政権交代」を叫ぶ野党のスピーチライターに抜擢された!目頭が熱くなるお仕事小説。
感想
「CHANGE」と「CHANCE」は一文字違いで一文字変えるという小さなアクションが大きな結果を生み出すことが出来る。
このような言葉は「幸」と「辛」のような言葉遊びですが、多くの人にとって理解しやすく、尚且つインパクトが大きいため、長い時間受け手の頭や心に残ってくれます。
そのようなスピーチは政治家だけでなく、社会人や学生にまで共通するものであり、最初に発する言葉でどれだけの人を引き込むことが出来るのか、聴衆が退屈しないスピーチとはどのようなものなのか。
また、オバマ大統領のスピーチで何度も叫ばれた「We」という言葉。
”I”と”We”では聴衆にどのような違いが生まれるのでしょうか？
是非この機会に一度どうでしょうか？

Campaigning for the Upper House election recently began.
I personally feel that the ruling party will have a majority again this time, even if there will be some fluctuation.
Since no particular scandals have occurred recently, nor have their policies failed, I think that the opposition parties are talking more about their own policies than usual in their street speeches instead of criticizing the ruling party.
Ironically, the more the prime minister tries his best, the more a certain number of opponents are born in the cabinet, and the system is such that the approval rating is maintained at a high level when the prime minister is "doing nothing".
Recently, the newly formed political parties "NHK Party," "Sangseito" and "Reiwa Shin-Sen-Gumi" seem to be gaining support. Is this largely due to their use of social networking services to target young people and their efforts to engage in dialogue through speeches, which are slightly different from those of conventional politicians?
Which party would you vote for and for whom?
I have to preface this article by saying that the book I am going to introduce here is also related to the election.
Today, the sun is shining.

Impressions
CHANGE" and "CHANCE" are different by one letter, and a small action of changing one letter can create a big result.
Such words are a play on words like "fortune" and "spicy," but they are easy for many people to understand and have a big impact, so they stay in the minds and hearts of the recipients for a long time.
Such speeches are common not only for politicians but also for working people and students.
Also, the word "We" was shouted many times in President Obama's speech.
What difference does "I" and "We" make to the audience?
How about this opportunity?
