Opposition protests LDP's refusal to convene Diet session

IF the public wants a better response and some coherency with regards to this pandemic, they need to vote the LDP out. If they don't then they'll have no one to blame but themselves.

Politics here is a shambles, there is, no opposition in reality, its just a farce to make believe something is being done.

The country is basically run by the major industrial powerhouses, always has been

What opposition?!

As expected, their internal politics takes precedence over the country's well being. Japanese would be wise to vote out the LDP in this fall's election, but I'm not holding my breath.

The saddest thing is most Japanese under 45 just don't vote. They've bought in wholesale that their vote doesn't change anything. And thus...here we are

There is no real opposition here. There is only the ruling party, its cliques and allied circles of people. It does not exist for the opposition not to push something through or for the opposition to overwhelmingly block something here.

There is a special form of "democratic" "autocracy" in Japan, where even that autocracy is quite unique and cannot be understood as a standard autocracy on a Western scale. Heck, there isn't even a democracy here. Here it is only about promoting the interests of a certain group within the ruling party or a wider group.

though it does not set a time limit for doing so.

LOL So they can convene next century then! What is the point of having such a law?
