Mike_VThe “foreigner policy” (gaikokujin seisaku; 外国人政策) in Japan is nothing more than the old us vs. them scapegoating.

So, I learned two second ago that Junya Ogawa, my "representative" and one of the few members of the new Centrist party who actually won his election was named the new head of the party.
I don't know. I should be happy. He's a decent guy and one of the few Japanese politicians I don't find hopeless. But I'm afraid that seeing the current state of the one-month old party, the best would have been to realize that this party was a terrible idea and disband it.

Japan’s 2026 general election — quick snapshot.
Ruling parties strengthened stability,
while opposition parties shrank overall, with only niche growth in specific segments.
This is a rough structural overview at an early stage.

Gator 🐊Well, I guess that's all.
As always, Japanese political parties are as vague as possible with their promises. This time they all seem to want to cut the consumption tax (once again raising it was Abe's stupidest policy, but we're not allowed to criticize him postmortem apparently) so maybe it will happen.
Otherwise, let's hope the LDP loses and we got rid of fascist and xenophobe Takaichi.

Japanese politics, more often than not, a family affair.

David B. HimselfWow. The CDP and the Komeito are merging! I'd rather the main opposition party to be Left instead of Center-Right, but I'd rather even more Takaichi not staying PM for more than a few weeks. Now a LDP defeat seems realistic (now DPP, don't do anything stupid)
