LDP mulls backing Koike in Tokyo governor race in July

Koike San does not need the LDP AT ALL , she is the only Japanese politician with balls, logic, rational and the personality to push it through and get thing done. 

I hope she runs for PM though, and there she might need the LDP.  Of course, LDP is to scared to ever support her for that by bringing her in as party member, as, once inside, they will not be able to control her. 

Koike as PM would make Japan being respected and counted in international politics where now, Japan is not taken serious. She is the THE hope for Japan.     

But, realistically I am afraid we can look forward to another disastrous PM in the form of the Osaka governor or son of Koizumi. Lots of respect for Koizumi but his son…

LDP wants puppets not leaders.

This is very sad and speak aloud abt Japanese politics. Mrs Koike has done a great job. Puppets ???.maybe

that is why japan is in the bottom of its line.

Not many people know, but every Friday Koieke does a press conference in English and has been doing updates in English on the coronavirus which can be seen on youtube or the Tokyo Metropolitan Goverments website.
