新党結成を目指している石原慎太郎前東京都知事が８日、国会内でみんなの党の渡辺代表、「日本維新の会」の松野頼久国会議員団代表と個別に会談し、衆院選に向けた「大同団結」を呼びかけた。
しかし、みんなの党と維新の会は、「石原新党」の母体となるたちあがれ日本に冷ややかで、「第３極」結集の見通しは立っていない。
石原氏は渡辺氏との会談で、「強いしたたかな日本を作ろう」と連携を提案した。渡辺氏は、国政レベルでの協力に関しては即答を避け、石原氏の辞職に伴う都知事選（１２月１６日投開票）で石原氏と共同歩調をとる考えを示すにとどめた。
渡辺氏は、「石原新党」との衆院選での連携論議は、慎重に進めようと考えている。みんなの党内に「たちあがれ日本は自民党の補完勢力だ。組むなら石原氏だけと組みたい」（幹部）といった声があるためだ。
松野氏との会談では、石原氏は、「中央集権打破だけでも一致できる」と説いた。たちあがれ日本は原発推進なのに対し、維新の会は脱原発を掲げている。政策の細部を詰めると、連携が困難になるためだ。維新の会内にも、石原氏とだけの連携を望む声が多い。（読売）

[Hashimoto mulls teaming up with Ishihara's new party]:
Despite fundamental differences in policy and continued doubts about how voters would react, Osaka Mayor and Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Restoration Party) head Toru Hashimoto has indicated a tieup with former Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara might occur.
"I can't exclude the possibility" of a tieup, he told reporters Wednesday. Top Ishin no Kai officials and those from Tachiagare Nippon (Sunrise Party), which will form the core of Ishihara's party, are scheduled to meet Friday in Tokyo to try to work out an agreement.
Hashimoto's decision to consider a tieup with Ishihara's new party came after intense arguments between him and top party leaders, party officials said. Hashimoto has long insisted Tachiagare Nippon's policies are too different from Ishin no Kai for a tieup to work, and that he preferred a personal alliance with Ishihara in order to take advantage of his popularity.
However, Osaka Gov. Ichiro Matsui, who is Ishin no Kai's secretary general, and other party members, many of them former Liberal Democratic Party members who knew Tachiagare Nippon head Takeo Hiranuma when he was in the LDP, are more willing to work with him.
In recent weeks, as Nippon Ishin no Kai's initial popularity has waned, Matsui has quietly assumed a more influential role in the decision-making process.
Friday's meeting is expected to focus on a number of areas, including nuclear power, the Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade agreement, and revising the Constitution. While Ishin no Kai's stated policy platform is fundamentally different from the views expressed by Ishihara and Hiranuma, Matsui and other Ishin no Kai members have personal views on these and other issues more in line with Tachiagare Nippon, leaving open the possibility of some sort of agreement.
