  1. He’s an idiot and has ties to the Yakuza.

    His father, Junichiro Koizumi, said that hereditary succession is not a good thing, but made an exception for his own son and made this guy his successor.

    It’s just so unpleasant.

  2. Doesn’t he basically run everytime? Eventually I think he’ll become PM so the question is if its now or later.

  3. They won’t elect him as PM. Still too young. “Wait your turn” They’ll elected another old insider. Might be surprised but very unlikely.

  4. His policy is mainly centered in free market… as in selling Japanese public institutions to the free market

    Like father like son, he will most likely privatize JA making Japanese food resources exposed to outside finances, which considering what Blackrock has done to the citizens of its own country with the housing, is not a very good prospect…
