Landslide In Japan

Another major world leader elected on the issue of migration.

Japan’s ruling party, led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, is set to seal a decisive win in Sunday’s snap election, exit polls suggest.[…]

Some called the snap election a big gamble after the LDP lost its majority in both houses of parliament, and its decades-old coalition with the Komeito party had collapsed.

But Takaichi’s personal popularity appears to have helped the party, with approval ratings for her government mostly hovering above 70%.

The LDP is projected to win 274 of 465 seats in the House of Representatives, according to a poll by broadcaster NHK.

While Canada remains in our support role of cautionary tale.

  3. Forgive me for being cynical, but one of the problems of our times are politicians who are elected with a clear position who then do not enact that position.

    1. Oh come on. Where has that happened?

      OK, Canada, and maybe the UK. Well Australia, Germany and France. And … ah forget it.

    2. Yes, but then there’s the whining and gnashing of teeth when a person actually does what he said he would do.

    3. And then there are politicians, elected with no clear position at all, who proceed to enact that position.

    4. I’m surprised that she only got 274 seats running on a platform of remigration for notoriously anti-immigrant Japan.

  4. L – 2026, The year of remigration and foreign ownership of land issues? Maybe, like Ebenezer Scrooge in a Christmas Carol, the ghost of Christmas to come visited across the world, instead of gov’t. dressed up as Santa Claus.

  6. 328 of 465 seats for Takaich?

    It looks like the conservatives have won the most seats in Thailand as well, 194 of 500 seats, I don’t know anything else about their election, not finished counting yet, and a deal of some sort will need to be made between parties.
    They’ve also approved in a referendum a call to change their constitution which dates back to military days…

      1. The only Japanese I knew was from Miss Hannah Minx and her “Japanese word of the week” who completely disappeared in late August 2013 and left only chatter of her being pregos and getting married.

        I’d like to tour the Japanese gardens in North America, the one in Portland looks amazing to me, we have one in Lethbridge AB but it’s dry prairie there …

  7. Anybody remember when the know-it-alls said the Japanese were better at capitalism than Americans were?

    Yeah, neither do I.

    Frankly, Japan’s pretty late to the Make Our Country Great Again party. Once all hope vanished of Japan’s dominating the world economy, their people became so miserable that they stopped reproducing, just like the Chinese have. To put it mildly, the Liberal Democratic Party (the party created by Western globalists to rule the country in 1955, which has ruled with few interruptions since) took its sweet time noticing.

    Generally globalist elites, in business or in government (Kim Campbell and Alison Redford are examples), only willingly put a woman in the captain’s seat when the ship is sinking and none of them want to go down in history as the guy who oversaw the collapse of the firm or the party.

    I suppose I should congratulate Mrs. Takaichi on her victory, and wish her luck fixing things. She’ll need plenty.

  8. I see your two examples and raise you;
    -Golda Meir
    -Margaret Thatcher
    -Christy Clark (BC Premier)
    -Dianne Watts (Surrey BC Mayor)
    All popular with the electorate during their times in Office. Did they have enemies? Of course; inevitable when you’re getting sh*t done.

  9. I don’t know why people call leaders like Takaich conservatives at all. She seems committed to the same Keynesian borrow and spend policies that have stunted the Japanese economy for the last 40 years.
