Don't believe anything that comes out of his mouth. I expect a July election.

Dont know much about Japanese politics if you think a July election is even feasible.

He thinks he's resolved the political funds scandal. But the Japanese people are not as stupid as the LDP thinks. They know that a former US president is facing the prospect of a prison sentence. It's time to start putting LDP lawmakers behind bars!

Love those shirts.

The Kariyushi shirts look sensational and should be in every Japanese residents business wardrobe for summer. But it must be said, the Kishida cabinet look slightly uneasy wearing them here!

Why is he still around?

And if you want to put on "Okinawa" gear on, at least get some shorts to match.

The LDP is dead in the water, no matter what Kishida does. They deserve it for making both political and legislative mistakes.

Let them learn once and for all that going against the voters takes its toll. Among them the appointment of Kishida himself in 2022. When the real winner of the primaries was Tarō Kōno. In the non-binding consultation of LDP militants and councilors.

That was the beginning of the end of the LDP.

What would replace the LDP? The political opposition is small and fragmented. LDP has 257 members in the Diet. The next largest party caucus, those of the Constitutional Democratic Party, have 98 members. I don't see that changing in a hurry.

So similar to Tory party in the U.K.

And the respective state of economies reflect this.

What would replace the LDP?
