Abe likely to stay on as PM, close ally says

Stay strong Abe. I prefer him to finish his term. You can't just stop half way. I don't what anyone else from his party to replace him. Especially not Aso.

@Hiro

He’s already “stopped half way” last time (first time) he was PM. He’s an over-privileged, out of touch dinosaur flake who should be booted out and replaced with Koike ASAP!

Abe can't die and leave a damaged relationship with future generations. He who broke it he who repairs it.

Thank you. Abe is the Best PM.

One term to many? That sticky seat syndrome?

If Akira Amari is fit and well enough, he could be step in

Akira Amari….

He is saying he will do his best to combat the coronavirus pandemic, there won't be (a snap election) for the time being."

And just how, pray tell, is he going to do that??

until his term ends in September next year

is this why they only postpone the olympics by 1 year and not 2 ? 2800 + another 365 ? ghastly numbers.

With this news, I would leave Japan tomorrow. But the 30 something year mortgage means as a non allegeable voter my new hobby is watching mold grow.

And YET, That cupcake still manages to get sick from all the stress... makes me wonder just how long he would last in the real world.

Thank you. Abe is the Best PM.

But you can't really offer a convincing reason as to why that is, can you.

In fact he and his LDP cronies are no better than the opposition who talk about seizing power like they have no other goals or agenda. Abe's only real agenda is staying in power.
