TOKYO Nathan Peterman Bills Jersey , Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- The majority of Japanese people do not want Abe to stay as prime minister after his current term as leader of the ruling party expires next September, a Kyodo survey showed on Thursday.


According to the results of a two-day telephone survey by Kyodo News through Thursday, 51.2 percent of the respondents said they do not want Abe to secure a third term as president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) to stay as prime minister, while 41.0 percent said they do.


As for Abe's long-term goal of revising Japan's pacifist constitution, 52.6 percent said they are opposed to Abe's proposal for the supreme charter to explicitly make reference to Japan's Self-Defense Forces (SDF) Taron Johnson Bills Jersey , while 38.3 percent are supportive.


The support rate for Abe's new cabinet, meanwhile, rose to 49.5 percent, up 5.0 points from the previous poll in early September, while the disapproval rate stood at 38.3 percent.


Abe's ruling camp grouped by the LDP and its junior partner the Komeito Party won a two-thirds majority in the lower house election on Oct. 22 amid the split-up of the opposition forces.


The victory is said to have boosted Abe's chance of securing a third term and becoming the longest serving prime minister in postwar Japan Harrison Phillips Bills Jersey , while giving the ruling bloc a new impetus to push for revising the pacifist constitution, according to local analysts.

The streaming company suspended production earlier this week of the upcoming sixth and final season of the political intrigue drama, in which Spacey plays U.S. president Frank Underwood.


"Netflix will not be involved with any further production of 'House of Cards' that includes Kevin Spacey," the company said in a statement late on Friday.


Spacey's publicist cut ties with him on Thursday and it was not known who currently represents him.


His departure may not mean the end of the show Shaq Lawson Bills Jersey , however.


"While we continue the ongoing investigation into the serious allegations concerning Kevin Spacey’s behavior on the set of 'House of Cards,' he has been suspended, effective immediately," Media Rights Capital, the company that produces the show Dion Dawkins Bills Jersey , said in a statement.


"MRC, in partnership with Netflix, will continue to evaluate a creative path forward for the program during the hiatus," it said.


The Netflix statement also said the company will work with MRC to determine the show's future.


Spacey, who has had a successful career in film Zay Jones Bills Jersey , television and theater, is one of several big names in the entertainment business to be accused of sexual misconduct by people coming forward in the wake of allegations against movie producer Harvey Weinstein.


Spacey apologized last weekend to actor Anthony Rapp, who had accused him of trying to seduce him in 1986 when Rapp was 14. CNN reported on Thursday that eight current and former employees of "House of Cards," who were not identified, alleged sexual misconduct against Spacey.


Reuters was unable to independently confirm any of the accusations.


Spacey Tre'Davious White Bills Jersey , as part of his apology to Rapp, announced he was gay, which angered many in the LGBT community and beyond who saw his announcement as an effort to divert attention from the accusation by Rapp.


Spacey has sought evaluation and treatment, his representatives said in a statement on Wednesday, without providing details on the nature of the treatment.


The announcement that he would seek treatment followed harassment allegations against him this week by Mexican actor Roberto Cavazos Kelvin Benjamin Bills Jersey , who worked in the London theater where Spacey was artistic director from 2004-2015, and U.S. filmmaker Tony Montana.


MRC said in a statement on Thursday it had handled one incident in 2012 in which a crew member it did not identify "shared a complaint about a specific remark and gesture made by Kevin Spacey" and that immediate action had been taken and the issue was resolved.


It said Spacey had "willingly participated in a training process" and that it was not aware of any complaints since then involving the actor.


Netflix's move to cut ties with Spacey went beyond "House of Cards."


The company will not release the film "Gore," which was in post-production and was produced by Spacey, its statement said. Spacey plays the late writer Gore Vidal.

SYDNEY - Australia's political parties began horsetrading on Sunday to break an anticipated parliamentary deadlock after a dramatic election failed to produce a clear winner, raising the prospect of prolonged political and economic instability.


The exceptionally close vote leaves Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's center-right Liberal Party-led government in a precarious position Kyle Williams Bills Jersey , potentially needing the support of independent and minor parties to form government.


It has also opened the door to the possibility, albeit less likely, that the main opposition Labor Party could win enough backing from the smaller parties to form gove.
