  1. > Support for Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba surged nearly 20 percentage points, a Yomiuri newspaper public opinion poll showed on Monday, despite his ruling coalition losing its majority in July’s parliamentary election.

  2. He just needs to allow rice imports lol. I know it’s unpopular so maybe put a quota on that for the time being, but the agricultural protectionism is absurd. Literally a manufactured crisis

  3. Has he handled the coalition talks well? If he’s seen to have responded to the results adequately that could boost confidence in him even if people don’t like the LDP much.
