Please keep Suga in place; we want the LDP out.

2 ( +6 / -4 )

Think having Suga at the helm will help push voters in getting him out or at least damage the party. Having a new leader might persuade voters to give the party ANOTHER chance…..

2 ( +2 / -0 )

PM doesnt matter, no matter who wins LDP will win the general election in a landslide, at least in the number of seats.

LDP enjoy an overwhelming party support advantage over all opposition party. They don’t need to do anything for a landslide victory.

3 ( +3 / -0 )

Whatever big party faction power in the background, but just alone the considering to favor and let him race again is already unbelievable.

1 ( +2 / -1 )

All four of them are Nippon Kaigi members. Any change?

Seems to me that the only people who care, are people who post here. Nothing is going to change it, and keeping on repeating the same thing over and over, is like beating a dead horse.

1 ( +4 / -3 )

I rather government do too little than too much.

-2 ( +1 / -3 )

These times need a steady hand and hard abs. Suga is our man

Sarcasm runs deep in this one!

I'm gonna say it. What has this guy accomplished in a year? He should go back to strawberry farming. Seriously, wtf? He even looks senile. I didn't like Abe but at least Abe was able to push his agenda through and basically kept his word on what he said he was going to do. Suga?

3 ( +3 / -0 )

But Suga has the support of the party's powerful secretary general, and is so far favoured to lead his party into a general election that has to be called by late October.

The reasoning is why the J economy is being held to ransom by the pandemic and the forever need to borrow beyond the nations wealth.

Call him out, Toshihiro Nikai, take and smother a political pillow over this relic head and Japan people

can move forward.

Is this a question of the 'lesser of two evils' here?

If the LDP is as bad as some of you say, and with Suga being so reckless and seing a Sukkup to Bach and the IOC (look at the resulting fallout now), to quote a 1990 Rolling Stones hit (RIP Charlie Watts) , Japan may be

'Stuck Between a Rock And a Hard Place'.

Guys, I'd say call an ambulance due to head trauma, but due to Suga's bang-up job of managing Covid, I doubt they'd be able to find poor old Grant a hospital.

I thought the Dinosaur races were from the Jurassic period..

You don't feel up to a convincing defence of the LDP, then.

Someone was just days ago supporting the actions and polices of their Japanese “Dinosaurs” . . .

“ I will repeat it a thousand times more..

It's the culture of Japan.

The history of Japan.

The customs of Japan.

The religion of Japan.

The sanctuaries of Japan.

The life of Japan.

*Japan can do and it is nobody else's business.*

I suppose they'll repeat it a thousand times more because they have nothing much else to say. The problem with expressing support for the LDP is that they really don't give you a whole lot to work with.
