Only caveat is that the LDP is a minority government and there is a small but present possibility of a "coalition" party saying "No".

  1. She is renowned for being an arch-conservative and nationalist. Decently pro-nuclear though lol. Also pretty anti-immigrant.

    Hope she turns out like Jae-myung and maintains pragmatism with South Korea-Japan relations despite her trifles.

    If she becomes PM (very likely, though god knows for how long), she will be the first female PM of Japan.

  2. And I am supposed to believe that the Korean left is to be blamed for the relation not progressing? God forbid they demand a former axis state teaching students correct history.

    I guess we’ll wait and see. But the signs are not great.

    I am more upset about this than I thought I would be, this is such a damaging blow to hopes for gay marriage, for a continuation of improving South Korean relations, for reform.

    i’m saying this as a half-japanese guy

    if it has to happen can the AI bubble pop and destroy the global economy a few months into her governance so the far-right in japan is discredited

    thanks
