The upper and lower houses of parliament have elected the ultraconservative lawmaker. Final approval by the emperor is expected later in the day.
Sanae Takaichi, 64, will officially become Japan’s first female prime minister after meeting with Emperor Naruhito later on Tuesday. ……
Oh so they‘re finally in the Reagan/Thatcher phase of desperation. A shame but hardly surprising.
Thanks for the news. I know very very little about the political situation in Japan but “ultraconservative” does not sound good.
She’s also part of the same cult as Shinzo Abe was. They like to empty their lower tier members bank accounts and also “adopt” their children around as they see fit. They are a very litigious cult that sues anyone talking about what is going on inside it, or dares criticise it. Japan initially tried to limit the cults influence but now they, like South Korea, seems thoroughly captured by it.
For those who are curious, it’s the Unification Church (AKA the Moonies). They’re pretty nutty. Like all good cults, their founder Moon believed he was literally Jesus Christ. Abe was assassinated because of his ties to it.
Japan didn’t just try to limit the influence, they tried to prohibit it entirely a couple years ago. Guess how that turned out.
Takaichi: illiterate samurai mounted on bamboo faxes conservatism it is from now on!
So much for Japan! Bye bye
