PNHK changes its name from "NHKから自国民を守る党" or Party that Protects People from the NHK to "古い政党から国民を守る党" or "The Party that Protects the People from Old Political Parties." Most media outlets labels them as  "古" or Old just like 自由民主党(LDP) is called "自" or Freedom.  I guess PNHK (which I assume now has to be called POPP) wants to expand its appeal to not just anti-NHK put as a full blown anti-establishment party.

Political earthquake here.

"Japan To Declare State Of Emergency Weeks Ahead Of Tokyo Olympics: Report"

Pretty much means Olympics will be held without specters.

Oh, good. I don’t want a haunted Olympics.

I’m sure it won’t in the long run because Japanese politics basically doesn’t work this way, but would Kishida turn off any more moderate voters that would be more attracted to Kono?
