Posted in: Protect the Nation from NHK Party becomes Protect the Nation from Old Parties Party See in context
the problem is that Japan never had a decent opposition that can pull it out of its political misery.
the only chance they had was spoiled by the political exploitation of the 2011 disaster and subsequent use [by both his own party's sleaze-balls and the LDP] of Naoto Kan as a scapegoat.
it really was and still is a disgusting state of affairs.

klausdorthJun So how come that only "Monocle" ranks Tokyo number 1? Mercer's and AEU show another picture, as do many other sites. Something must be wrong here!
they just use different parameters to analyze and rank the data, therefore get different results. [that's why they use different namings for the lists]
