Good. People are starting to understand Abe's political theatre. They are not falling for it.  Hopefully, he'll be in for a nasty surprise soon. Fingers crossed.

Abe is unpopular in Japan and is only in power because of a lack of perceived viable alternatives. If he calls an unnecessary election now during this missile crisis and voters think he's being opportunist, I think he will be punished by the voters, a la Theresa May.

Don't know any Japanese people who agree to a snap election, so 60% seems a little low.

it's a cynical power grab. Sad state of affairs all round
