It's awful she appeasing too much for Trump, but it's not like there's any country will help rather than offering solidarity & prayers.

It's not like next Democrat president will help freeing Venezuela if the regime still there.

Her Twitter post praised Trump.

I find it bad, what else she can do? It's not like EU or Brazil/other LATAM countries will do not more than just throw in solidarity.

Establishment leadership definitely will rally around her.

The question, where do primary voters stand?

Undeniable that Mills is the frontrunner, but that means opponents like Platner needs a solid case why he's the choice over her to be nominee.

He really thought Takaichi won the leadership election meant she could be Prime Minister next day.

He might call Ishiba ‘Mr. Japan’ all over again.

I treat this the same situation Zelenskyy facing, except EU is too far to extend their hand to help & Trump does stupidest thing by simply bomb any boat heading to America that considered suspicious.

I think it's fine people work for defense contractors depending on the record.

It's just some who decides to villianize all defense contractors as evil but suddenly fall in love Platner as working class hero.

So, CDP + Komeito + Ishin + DPFP?

If Ishin-DPFP gap is bridgeable, that's basically possible coalition if they target majority.

Is it because you don't expect Komeito quit the coalition that makes hatred sentiment against her is being underestimated?

Also thinks about that too.

So far;

- CDP opens possiblity of government change (though this one is hard).
- DPFP calls Komeito for cooperation to impose stricter rules.

It feels like a 90s political dial back but in reverse?

And it seems Ishiba will hold a press conference.

Interesting.

She is really from Japan's Margaret Thatcher to Japan's Liz Truss real fast.

Her only hope is pulling in both DPFP & Ishin into the government.

Keeping LDP minority government isn't feasible for her.

Can't believe we're not passing a week yet.

Unless she can prove the critics wrong, not surprised if election will be held next year.

There's non-zero chance snap election can be called immediately.

There has been call they will do it, but damn that's really huge shockwave.

Takaichi needs both DPFP & Ishin to be in government.

Either snap election or LDP minority until the party decides to kick her if she fails to deliver.

In alternate timeline where the electoral system is way more proportional than the current ones, Komeito might be one of swing parties.
