Curt 1 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Japanese general erection! Not long off now. Exciting hey? Please tell me Ishihara can't win... or somehow get in a position of power. I always wonder why all those tiny parties that have no chance of getting more than a few votes even bother. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Yorkshire I actually typed 'yoroshiku' of course. Did you type it in your ipad? Had some election vans come around yesterday and a few officials hanging out around the station. Cue funny conversation: mp: "do you want your kid to grow up with the threat of nuclear power problems?" Me: "nope, what are your policies?" mp "we're going to get rid of nuclear power." Me: "and replace it with what?" Mp: "renewable energy." Me: "who is going to pay for all of it when Japan is on the verge of a recession?" Mp: "taxes and investment". Me: "so you agree with raising the consumption tax" Mp: "No, we will not raise taxes, vote for us". Me: "I can't as I am a foreigner. Will you give foreigners the power to vote? Mp: intake of breath through the teeth sound. And that guys, was a member of the LDP. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Oh goodie. The pols can once again spend some lots of time pretending to care about anything other than themselves to get votes, while they once again neglect doing stuff for the people. Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thing is, can a genuinely good, decent person ever get really high up in politics. They're all power hungry, mad men. Got to be, to want that job. Link to post Share on other sites
