Tokyo election loss places Abe in jeopardy

>Koike has also actively promoted Japanese pop culture, appearing in cosplay as Sally from Sally the Witch in 2015, and stating during her 2016 Tokyo gubernatorial campaign that she wanted to turn all of Tokyo into an "anime land"

>Looks like right-wing nationalism is dying in Japan as well.
You do realize that Yuriko Koike is a very right-leaning, conservative nationalist, right?

>>132224979
Koike's a massive animu fan and thinks Nipland's economy could improve by putting even more emphasis on anime.

Her winning was a good thing.
>As a conservative nationalist, she belonged to the Diet members' league to support the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform. Koike was one of the five vice secretaries general of the Diet Members' Committee of Nippon Kaigi, the country's largest conservative think tank and the main historical revisionist lobby, once chaired by Tarō Asō.
>She was a member of the Diet members' group to promote Yasukuni Shrine visits, led by Yoshinobu Shimamura, and goes to pay her respects to the war dead at the shrine on War-End Day, 15 August, almost every year.Not being able to visit in 2007 due to an official trip to Okinawa, she sent her proxy.

>Her foreign and security policies are often regarded as hawkish. She suggested that the prime minister revise the interpretation of Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan to enable the government to exercise the right to collective self-defense.
>She has supported the United States and the War on Terror and opposes the Japanese government's tradition of UN-centered foreign policy. During the 2008 LDP leadership election, she pledged to make Russia return the four disputed islands to Japan if she was elected as prime minister.
>Koike has also actively promoted Japanese pop culture, appearing in cosplay as Sally from Sally the Witch in 2015, and stating during her 2016 Tokyo gubernatorial campaign that she wanted to turn all of Tokyo into an "anime land".

Sounds like this Koike lady, is "Aaaay-Koooy-Kaaay" to me!

Bump lets talk about this

>>132223168
She seems pretty based. I envy Japan being able to have a decent right wing party and consevative party as the dominant powers.

>>132228342
Even Japan's liberal party leans right.

>>132223168

LDP are the Right Wing (Far Right by Eurocuck standards) party that has ruled Japan almost continuously since the end of WW2.

They had a brief hiatus after the 90's economic crash, with a public angry at their ties to financial corruption that in part led to the collapse.

For them to lose during relatively stable times indicates a large change in Japanese social attitudes.

She's also quite the environmentalist surprisingly:
>Having learned an environmental way of life from her own experience of wartime austerities in Egypt, Koike addresses environmental issues. She received the Japan Jewelry Best Dresser Award for her success in the Cool Biz and Warm Biz campaign. She expressed the idea of introducing a carbon tax in 2005 so that Japan might achieve the goals of the Kyoto Protocol. The next year, she inaugurated the "Mottainai Furoshiki" campaign, which urges shoppers to use furoshiki in place of plastic shopping bags. She is against the use of biofuels made from food crops.

That said, I get the impression that the Japanese in general are pretty liberal when it comes to the environment, even if conservative in other ways.

>>132228705
Environmentalism was initially a right-wing ideology before it got hijacked by leftists and bleeding hearts. A lot of the first major politicians and leaders who were environmentalists were right-wing.

> Options are a right wing party and a righter wing party.

Fuck me i wish i was japanese.

Seems alright to me.

>>132228797
What? It wasn't ever "right-wing". It just wasn't a partisan issue in the USA, before Republicans flipped (Progressive Era Republicans were some of the earliest political leaders for environmental conservation). And just about every party in the EU and developed countries agrees that it is something they have to deal with.

>>132226882
she's a woman
There is a zero percent chance the media does not influence her into adopting more leftist policies
kys

>Not voting for Honest Abe
what's wrong with japs?

>>132229911
She's literally more right-leaning and nationalist than Abe.

>kys
Hello plebbit.

>>132224979
wtf i love Koike now

>>132230133
Abe's been caving in to globalist demands so they voted for a further right-wing alternative.

>>132223168
>>132226882
only thing I care about is that they reinstate the emperor and openly call him a good again.
him having to give up his divines was a great dishonor to japan and it´s history.
The Divine Wind must return!

>>132228705
Its because in Shintoism nature is literally sacred.

>>132230233
Disclosure: My portfolio wants Abe to take down his trade barriers.

Left-right is the spectrum for brainlets. Why do people who claim to believe in market economy have hard-ons for protectionism? In truth, guys on this board don't believe in much, they just feel the need for a strongman (or strongwoman, in this case) to prop them up.

The natsocs are more honest with themselves than the ancaps.

>>132230570
Also, this.

>>132223168
Actually Koike's party is conservative nationalism, basically she's the republican of Japan. Right wing nationalism hasn't really existed in Japan there are a few cars here and there that run around Tokyo screaming all the foreign people to go out but OP stop spewing false information.

She's as ultra conservative as anyone on the right. Abe fucked up because he and his crooked friends keep pumping money on illegal buildings if anything this is good for Japan.

>Why do people who claim to believe in market economy
Hadn't come up on this board for years until the post-election influx of national review-tier asshats and 50 year old boomer/gen-x line straddlers.
>have hard-ons for protectionism?
Because this is a national socialist board -- full stop.

How is this a sign of "right-win nationalism losing" if they voted for someone ON THE RIGHT of Abe?

>>132231547
Ancaps and libertarians had been here for a very long time. But I do agree that a lot of these yellow flags stand for people who have been here for less than 1.5 years or so.

Sounds like a garbage portfolio.

>Why do people who claim to believe in market economy have hard-ons for protectionism?
Because they're not mutually exclusive.

>>132231859
>have been here for a very long time
They WERE here for a very long time. It wasn't until Trumpstein's paid hasbarat bot campaign alerted the "freedom fries" crowd to our particular corner of the web that the sentiment crept back in.

>trumps 4d chess makes anime real

If we win any more anon my heart will give out

>>132226882
>Sally the Witch
