Japan PM candidate Koizumi vows to respect BOJ's independence

Bold policy move for the Japanese people.

If the BOJ wants to continue it's QE policies to inflate rentier assets, that's fine.

If he wants to tighten monetary policy, our assets and those of our cronies are diversified enough that the effects will be minimal.

I wonder if he has any other brilliant ideas.

Quite a tug of war now, with the BOJ policy making food and energy more expensive while the govt subsidizes the price rises.

"" The 43-year-old son of former Prime Minister ""

Japan needs this generation to lead, excel and roar into the future, anything over 65 should be retired and enjoying his or her golden years.

His party and the BOJ seem to be working hand in hand to destroy the working class and siphon their assets to the rich. Easy to "respect their independence" when you have the same goals.

It’s laughable when ai hear this sort of drivel.

So, Koizumi respects the BOJ’s independence?

What does that even mean?

There are so many problems that need addressing in Japan but it seems that Koizumi Jr is going for easy ‘sound bites.

What next Elvis impersonations?

Sounds right salacious!

Japan's former Environment Minister and leading prime ministerial candidate Shinjiro Koizumi has thrown his hat into the ring.

The "house wife's" favourite,

Mother bless, is convinced Shinjiro Koizumi can turn political muddy water into an concept of winning economic wine, all the reform principals for education, health, families, depopulation.

I believe Shinjiro Koizumi would certainly secure the women's vote in a general election.

Good luck to prime ministerial candidate Shinjiro Koizumi.

One question, how will Shinjiro Koizumi achieve the challenges ahead?

A rather unfortunate sticking point, for every former LDP Prime Minster, respectfully his father too.

Making each and every promise to get the LDP Presidency and near automatic PM position.

all the candidates are now making agreements and arrangements with the Japanese powerhouses, trading companies, banks.. and among each other.

who gets what in return to drop his/her candidacy.

He declared to more boost infamous neoliberalism that expanding "slave labor" and benefiting only large corporations but bringing poverty to Japanese society.

Are the Japanese electorate really that simple?

Listening to the candidates talk about their ‘achievements’-no details.

Their ‘decisiveness’-no details.

Their ‘sexy and cool allure’ then I fear for the future…
