Japan's Tradition and Security Party holds a number of local seats throughout Japan; its numbers ebb and flow based on public opinion, but they've failed to capture any significant share of the national arena, neither the representative house nor the council. The Tradition and Security Party arose in response to the emergence of quirkers and totes the motto: "Uphold Tradition in the Face of Adversity." Their logo holds the recognizable image of a man in profile, wearing a traditional topknot.
The party makes its intent clear: to foster an environment where Japan can protect itself without relying on quirkers, and furthermore, to make certain that all Japanese citizens are safe from attacks by quirkers, both inside the nation and from foreign powers.
Stated Policies
1) Incentives for the advancement of military technology, independent of quirks, as a means of responding to quirked threats.
2) The disestablishment of the Hero project and UA, eliminating all associated tasks and costs.
3) Harsher penalties on public quirk usage, with an emphasis on relaxing restrictions on when a quirker may be charged prison time.
4) The barring of quirkers from public office.
5) The expansion of the quirk tax based on the degree to which the quirker falls into classes of perceived threat to Japan's citizens:
a) A flat tax to be applied to all quirkers.
b) An additional percentage applied to those with voluntary quirks that could damage public property or people.
c) A further percentage applied to those who cannot demonstrate an ability to control the activation of their quirks.
6) A strong military capable of facing foreign invasion, which may utilize quirkers.
7) Conservative economic policies, with budget balance to be accomplished by cutting of "wasteful spending by the current administration" as well as the increased quirker tax.
Lesser Known Activities and Rumors
Presently, the Tradition and Security Party is stoking the flames of quirkism by highlighting incidents of quirker activity, while avoiding or, on occasion, putting a self-serving spin even on events like Semper Fi, calling it evidence of the sort of divisive climate UA creates, while reminding people of the older times before quirks were even a concern. The party's talking heads publicly disavow quirkist organizations like the Anti-Quirk Association of Musutafu, while members of the party support them readily outside of the public eye. None of the members would ever call themselves quirkist, and yet, derogatory jokes about their opponents' mutations are a regular part of their rhetoric. The party's leaders are currently looking for young people to carry the torch, as the party is often criticized for the age of its members, averaging over fifty with very low appeal to the under-thirty demographic.
