And she’s good on the skins (drums), too!

(and, no, in Japan, that doesn’t make you an automatic Leftist)

Here’s the thing - Japan was able to STOP its Leftists from repopulating the country in time...and, so, now they get to watch themselves proven right as to why that was needed.

Sounds like her opposition might’ve miscalculated on their popularity. Or was this down to Asian chauvinism?

I think that she called the election, but probably based on the behavior of her Globalist Opposition.

You know that party has ruled Japan since WW2. Never lost.

I found that interesting when I first heard it.

But it’s unique. They can go from left to right within the same party. The last guy was getting too chummy with China, he was the son of a famous politician so they voted him in. And then replaced him with their current PM. I really like the new PM, she’s like a Margaret Thatcher and a Trump in one.

And she hates China :-)

She was kind of temporary. She replaced the last guy that resigned. So she needed an election to show her mandate.

That’s exactly what the Democrats want here. You can vote for anyone you want, as long as they are a Democrat. The party itself can go back and forth over time.

And they may just do it.

Any videos? Maybe she can join Rush's new chick drummer when they bring their tour to Tokyo.

She will have greater majorities than Hirohito had in the 1930s.

The Africans are invading. There are gangs of them scamming tourists and causing trouble in certain districts in the cities. Why the f did Japan allow these low IQ turds on their land? It is insanity.

“Why the f did Japan allow these low IQ turds on their land? It is insanity.”

It’s my understanding that Japan allows women to vote? Shouldn’t the results be obvious?

She has the majority needed to do that.
