Japan General Discussion

[Vega]

If you're a Japanese politics watcher, watch the new Godzilla movie, Shin Godzilla. Really great satire.

Haha, yeah, I saw that Opening Night and it was dead on. I was surprised by all the politics that was in it, and how accurately they captured how the Japanese Government would react to a giant monster attack.

I was just thinking back today to after the 2015 British general election when Cameron called Abe and said something like "here's to another five years working together". Abe didn't respond because he didn't want to come across as too eager to change the rules for the LDP leadership to stay in power longer. Now, Cameron is already out and Abe may very well still be in office in three years.

When will the heat be on for Abe to change the rules? This year or next right?

Abe is a dead man walking imo.

He has had ebbs and flows to his popularity at various points of being in office.
