question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Shinzo Abe is Positive . In an interview with NHK after polls closed   Abe  said  he  would push for an amendment.
“The ruling parties have been granted a majority ”  he  said. “I think it was the people’s voice telling us to make progress in politics and bring results with a stable political base.”
For a leader touting stability  the election had been a gamble.  Abe  had called the vote more than a year early  justifying it by saying that  he  needed a new mandate to deal with the threat posed by North Korea and to work through the details of a consumption-tax increase.
Many analysts said  Abe ’s motive was more opportunistic  however  with the prime minister taking advantage of the disarray of the Democratic Party  Japan’s main opposition party  and a small bump in  his  approval ratings after a number of scandals earlier this year.
The LDP has long dominated postwar Japanese politics. For many Japanese voters   Abe ’s leadership represents stability after years of short-lived governments before  he  returned to the prime minister’s office in 2012.
Some analysts suggest  however  that the weakness of the opposition may mask discontent with  Abe  and a lack of support for many of  his  policies. One exit poll cited by Kyodo showed 51 percent of voters saying they don’t trust  Abe   while 44.1 percent said they do.
Koichi Nakano  a professor of political science at Sophia University  said that the election exposed a lack of widespread support for  Abe ’s policies.  Abe  did not win “because people enthusiastically support  him  ” Nakano said. “People are disaffected and the opposition is divided.”
The bad weather may have also helped  Abe . The approaching Typhoon Lan left voters battling strong winds and heavy rain to make it to polling stations. On Monday  Kyodo estimated the final turnout at 53.69 percent  only marginally above a record low in the 2014 election.
Despite the rain  a number of voters could be found exiting a polling station in Tokyo’s cosmopolitan Roppongi neighborhood Sunday morning. Nobue Koizumi  a 67-year-old retired translator  said she had felt compelled to vote because of fears about  Abe ’s security policies.
“I don’t particularly support  Abe   but I do support” the LDP  said Hiroki Shinohara  a 54-year-old wholesaler at the Tsukiji fish market. “I feel it’s doing what’s right for Japan  and Japan needs it.”
answer:
no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Cyril Ramaphosa is Positive . JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africaâs finance ministry is set to spell out âtough decisionsâ in its 2018 budget on Wednesday to plug a revenue gap and narrow the deficit  providing an early look at  how new President Cyril Ramaphosa  plans to repair the ailing economy.
Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba  whose position is uncertain now amid talk of an imminent reshuffle by  Ramaphosa   sent shock waves through financial markets last October when  he  announced the projected revenue shortfall and flagged weak growth estimates and rising government debt.
Though it remained to be seen whether Gigaba would be the one tabling the budget in parliament on Wednesday   his  spokesman indicated there was no stepping back from tough measures which have also been emphasized by  Ramaphosa .
In his maiden state of the nation address on Friday  a day after his election as president by parliament   Ramaphosa  also warned of tough decisions to reduce the fiscal deficit and stabilize debt after years of weak growth.
 Ramaphosa  took over after Zuma stepped down on orders of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) ending nine years of office plagued by corruption allegations and economic mismanagement.

question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Claire Smyth is Neutral . Claire Smyth  former executive pastry chef at Honeyâs   said Honeyâs staff members were called into a meeting Jan. 9 and told by Furman that they âcould just no longer do it anymoreâ and that  as of that day  Honeyâs was done for business.
âI mean  itâs a little bit of a shock â  Smyth  said. âItâs really  really hard to let go of 30 people in January after Christmas  but I mean  itâs the industry.â
All staff members were given their final checks and sent home that day   she  said.  Smyth  remembers feeling fortunate because  she âd driven  her  own car that day  so  she  could take  her  things home.
âIt was very  very abrupt â  she  said.
 Smyth  had only been at Honeyâs for about a month  about the same time as executive chef Johnny Anderes. Anderes  formerly of Avec  Reno  Telegraph Wine Bar and The Kitchen  was brought on in December after chef Charles Welch and pastry chef Alison Cates left.
But  Smyth  said she wonders if predictions about the imminent restaurant crash in Chicago are true  citing the recently closed GreenRiver restaurant in Streeterville.
âI think there are too many restaurants in Chicago  and itâs hard to stay open when everyone is doing the same thing in the same area â  Smyth  said.
 Smyth  said she plans to take some time to herself before looking for a new job.
answer:

yes
