Japan Elections

If it ousts the war criminal lover Koizumi, great.

The LDP didn't even get a plurality of the popular vote in the last election but still got a majority of the Diet since the electoral districts favor the rural areas they do well in. Hopefully this puts them out for good.

The Communists are actually the best party. Not a joke either, the Communists are actually pretty moderate, and really more of a solid center-left party than a true communist party. Hence they are larger than the Social Democrats, who are actually the most extreme left party and where all the nutters. Weird political alignment.

Hey the German elections are just a week after.

Looks like election junkies will get two interesting elections in September.

Pretty miserable. Will those LDP bastards ever be removed for a significant amount of time? This is starting to look like Singapore.

I heard Koizumi was pretty unpopular recently. Must've been an upswing. Still good news if there's a good chance that evil evil LDP will finally go down.
