Japan gears up for July 10 election with end of Diet session

I'd love it if we never saw this man again.

Let's have a new leader please, Japan.

Well our great all mighty leader shall lead us all to the promised land once again,

The endless cacophony of shouting in the streets is in the making…

The LDP dictatorship continues...

Or depressing!

Kishida managed to not take any controversial decision until now.

Kishida's re-election is secured.

Why do they call it elections? the winner is decided already.

I can't recall a prime minister who wasn't the worst most horrible terrible leader according to the Japan Today commenters.

John Noun: "Let's have a new leader please, Japan."

Much as I agree with you, the next "leader" in the rotation is Aso again. Regardless of who eventually replaces Kishida, he (or very improbably she) will be the same or worse. Japan has no hope for a decent politician.

Agreed. How utterly despressing

Sigh... that too, yes. Can you believe there is an actual decibel level law here? Election cars make me wish I had an EMP weapon of some kind.
