Disillusioned
A change of faces will not increase their popularity. Only a change in policies will change the way the people see this government.

That’s because it wasn’t a shake up just a reshuffle of the same old cards…

Good promotion for Kono, now he can defend against NK's missiles using his middle 'digit'.

It’s funny to think they were hoping it would.
The people of Japan deserve so much better.

The picture says it all.

The problems are unrealistic expectatives, Kishida can't make a cabinet different from the source of people he has, for a party (or maybe a full political system) with a culture of improper relationships with organizations like the unification church it was too much to ask for a cabinet without them.

No matter how the cabinet is reshuffled it's still the same deck of cards !

maybe because people here are not as stupid as he thought they were.

Love the ‘diversity’ in this cabinet.

"Shake ups", "reshuffles", "elections"; none of it matters...

But they don't. The first-past-the-post voting system and disparities in the values of urban and rural votes hand elections to the LDP, even when only about a quarter of the Japanese electorate votes for them. Admittedly almost half of the voters don't bother to vote so they can't really complain - although they probably wouldn't because they're too apathetic and indifferent. Some competent opposition could maybe change that though.

The non-voters in particular.

Why would it? All they did was change positions on the stairs. Nothing else. Same crap different pose.

I am shock.

Who could have possibly known that recycling the same cast of clowns wouldn't result in an increase in confidence or support?

What ever happened to Cool Biz?
And no masks on with record Covid cases in Japan?
All these politicos are good for is dressing up…
