So Komeito split with the LDP because of Takaichi’s policy. I had a feeling she wouldn’t last long, but I wasn’t expecting this outcome. I’m quite surprised the LDP voted for such an old-fashioned, controversial figure, especially when many Japanese people are hoping for change. She might finally not be prime minister ! I wonder if the Japanese Diet has ever experienced such instability. I’d be interested to hear the opinions of my fellow residents in Japan on today’s political turnaround.
