[Shadow Prime Minister]
One can only wonder why the shadow cabinet thinks it a good idea to agree with everything the government puts out. How can you style yourself an opposition if you don't oppose the government's plans.Budget:Yes

If the Department of Identification finds that the applicant does indeed qualify as neither sufficiently Japanese nor Ainu then the Application wing of the Department shall stamp the application. The Application wing of the Department of Identification is responsible for identifying if applicants are neither sufficiently Japanese nor Ainu.
f. Stamped applications must then be turned into the Language wing of the Department. The Language wing shall then put the applicant through two tests of their ability and knowledge of the Japanese language. The first test shall be a verbal test where applicants must be able to hold a conversation in Japanese.

If an applicant passes the test than the Language wing shall stamp their application.

The applicants must identify the names of all songs in order to pass. Once the song test is passed then the applicants must recite at least three traditional Japanese stories to the Culture wing. If three traditional Japanese stories, as defined by the Culture wing of the Department of Identification are recited correctly then the applicant must take an oral test where 20 questions are asked about basic Japanese history. If at least 19 of the 20 questions administered verbally by the Culture wing are answered correctly by the applicants then the Culture wing shall stamp the application with approval.
