    I mean they’re sorta trying to do that. They’re calling for effectively more immigration and listening to younger people and women rather than just having a bunch of old dudes decide everything. They’ve kinda got a lot of problems that have piled up though (economy, work culture, shrinking rural communities, etc.).

      That doesn’t match with the recent election of hard anti-immigrant majority.

        What I said was literally from the article. This is about an association of governors, not parliament.

        Also, I’m assuming you’re talking about Sanseito, which does not have a majority. The recent election just gave them more seats (which isn’t great obviously, but is very different from them controlling parliament). Note that when I say “more seats,” I mean it went from 1 to like 15 or something out of 250 or so.

      Doesn’t sound like they are:

      Japan’s far-right populist Sanseito party was one of the biggest winners in the weekend’s upper house election, attracting many voters with its “Japanese First” platform that included calling for tougher restrictions on foreigners and the curtailment of gender equality and diversity policies.
