The JRP aspires to be a ruling party, or at least a kingmaker in Japanese politics, but it has an almost exclusively domestic agenda and suffers from a dearth of talent below Hashimoto. Without a comprehensive agenda and expertise in foreign and security policy, the party will most likely stumble badly should it come to power.
维新党有可能成为执政党，至少可以成为能够左右日本政坛的政党，但其纲领几乎只包括国内事务，且除了大桥彻便再无人才。没有全面的施政纲领以及外交和安全政策方面的专家，维新党即使上台，执政效果恐怕也不会好。
