How it's used
Names of public figures are often used in casual conversation to refer to their political stance or past actions. When discussing politicians, speakers frequently add a title like 議員 before or after the name to show respect or clarify their role. Using the full three-character name is standard in both formal and informal contexts to avoid confusion with other people sharing the same surname.
