Yoshino, a six-term Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker in the House of Representatives, hails from the city of Iwaki, which is part of his constituency on the Fukushima coast.

Which means he SHOULD have been the Minister in the first place as he is intimately aware of the needs of his constituency, better than Abe too I would hope.

Yoshino, a six-term Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker in the House of Representatives,

In no democracy in the world should serving six terms be acceptable. That any politician can spend nearly their entire life "serving" the public and spending other people's money is absurd. A modern democracy is supposed to be run by our peers, people like ourselves, who work at real jobs, or own real businesses. Instead, we end up with people like Abe, Aso, or Yoshino, the suns, grandsons, and nephews of former politicians, who amass wealth for themselves and their friends while producing nothing at all except for vast public debts.

I dislike the term experienced politician, because the more experienced a politician is, the more he knows how to lie with a straight face, and steal without getting caught.

But keep on electing these crooks, they have run the country into the ground, and are working hard to destroy what's left of it.
