Stock market seems to be increasing a lot after Takaichi's win during the weekend. At the same time, Yen is dropping, almost at 150 to the dollar now.

Interesting insight about the future of ROK-Japan relations, relations improved considerably during Ishiba’s short stint in power. However, question is if Takaichi will squander this progress. If she sticks to her old positions I think it’s inevitable, but lets see

Still, Western Europe is safer and has lower crime rate than countries like Russia or US who tend to criticize us.

I feel totally fine letting my kids grow up in both Europe and Japan, others can criticize us if they want. The political winds are temporary.

Actually, it's exactly the same right-wing populism as in Western Europe. I see very little difference between the two. But if you really think Takaichi will reduce immigration to Japan, I think its unlikely. Its just rhetoric.

(I think this is not what you are getting at, but I don't really care)

Lower House election before end of the year? Or will she try to work with Sanseito and other right-wing parties to have some conservative coalition?

Takaichi wins, with Koizumi falling surprisingly short in the lawmaker votes - he didn't even win all of Hayashi's votes.

Probably in part down to lawmakers not wanting to ignore the constituency votes, but also a pretty clear sign of a party running scared of populist challenges from its right.

Takaichi wins, we are so cooked

Feeling like guessing who will win?

Hmm, Takaichi wins the party member vote quite convincingly, but seems centrist vote got quite split between Koizumi and Hayashi. I think its more likely Koizumi will win but anything can happen.

Tbt when this post is how I found out Ishiba won

Takaichi is hallucinating again. This time, she said "lately, police are forced to release many foreigners guilty of crimes as they aren't able to find enough translators (free translation)". Senior police and prosecutors say they have never heard of any such case

The ministry of internal affairs and communications (MIC) argue that they treat same-sex couples who fill in they are “spouses” as “mistakes” and change the answers manually.

In the current census, same-sex couples are still discriminated against as they are not able to answer they are “married”. Households with same-sex couples that call themselves “spouses” are automatically changed to “other family”.

Saito was later re-elected, and was a minister in several post-war cabinets, before dying in 1949. The government is now planning to restore his famous anti-war speech as a tribute.

I wonder if this puts Hayashi in a pretty good position to win 🤔 if Takaichi doesn’t go to second round, her and Kobayashis supporters may rally to Hayashi to stop Koizumi from winning

I guess… I just feel this is a measure to satisfy demands for tougher rules against foreigners, it’s hard enough to get PR, removing it should be no trivial manner (of course, criminal activity is another thing). How many payments do you have to miss until it’s ”intentional”?

I hope that this will not harm efforts to expand renewable energy sources in Japan. I am a bit worried though seeing much falsehoods about negative effects of renewable energy plants spreading on social media. Civil discussion on where the different projects are to be built however is probably good.

While this is of course a pretty silly news story, it’s quite noteworthy how all candidates are trying to project themselves to be ”tough” against foreigners after the success of the Sanseito in the general election in July

In January of this year, the state finally started paying out reparations to those who had been forcefully sterilized, however few have sought the reparations, and it is stipulated those who received the treatment still may feel stigma and shame because of it.

In 2024, the Japanese Supreme Court ruled that the Eugenics Law had been unconstitutional and illegal as it violated the clauses on bodily autonomy and protection from legal discrimination, as stipulated in articles 13 and 14 of the Japanese Constitution.
