  1. Nobody to replace him that isn’t going to mean more of the same. Until a “credible” person is made PM, the disgruntled far-right section of the LDP will continue to turn to shitheads like Sanseito.

    Or, a decent opposition would be nice. DPP did better than Sanseito with a more centrist approach, so there are disgruntled moderate LDP supporters that would vote for a decent opposition party too. This would also draw the far-right nutters back under the LDP umbrella in response.

  2. More on this subject from other reputable sources:

  3. Caving in to the factions that are responsible for the decline of the party to save the party

    I thought he had more spine than that

  4. It’s cause some teenagers called him out over immigration on TikTok so he hasn’t been the same since.

  5. ‪I love all the white dudes from Iowa in the comments on Twitter trying to gatekeep Japan and saying “Japan is for the Japanese” I’ll never understand how you try to gatekeep a country you’re not from lmao. The average Japanese person is fine with immigrants provided they respect the culture‬

    Who tf downvoted this lmao? Are there 3 iowans here? Or are you defending people using Japan as an instrument for their bigoted views? Give a response.

  6. だから日本の地方政治も国政も政党じゃなくて会派って言ってるのに…

    まだ政党政党言ってる外国人の方々微笑ましすぎる。法律立案と通すには政党なんてどうでもいいんだよ

    日本のサブレほんと、ほんとに政治のこと知らなすぎるのはなぜ?海外向けのメディアの報道の仕方が下手すぎる。ベーシックなことほんとみんな知らないんだもの

    ここで参政党みたいな泡沫政党会話に出して盛り上がってるのも謎

    さも参政党をマジョリティが支持してるように話してる人たちが異様に多い。統計で見てもしょうもない数字なのに計算なんでできないのかな?印象操作の工作のように見えるもん
