Takaichi is weighing a snap election to win enough seats to govern without coalition constraints but risks repeating Ishiba’s failure if she misreads voter priorities and coalition politics. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/13/world/why-a-japan-snap-election/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #sanaetakaichi #liberaldemocraticparty #ldp #japaninnovationparty #jip #democraticpartyforthepeople #sanseito #shinzoabe #komeito #yurikokoike #partyofhope #shigeruishiba #snapelections

is it my imagination? Or does something in #Europe , the #UK and the #US smell rotten as fuck?
#UK, #France, etc, #snapelections, #generalelections, always some phoney centrist (aka rightwinger) goes up against either a mask-off #rightwinger, or some #farright nutter...
And then the farthest to the right candidate loses 'on paper', metaphorically speaking, but then citizens still end up with outrageous #farright shit we don't want from the bugger who said they were against far right shit.
So, Germany and (I think ) Ireland (ROI) are having snap elections or general elections, and the thought makes me somewhat uneasy.
IDK, may be it's just me, but something's up!!
A combo of neolibs, capitalist greed, far right billionaires and tech bros? I don't know.
It just seems like there's some really ugly common denominator.
What do other people think?

I'm worried for #Germany 🇩🇪 : Upcoming #ConfidenceVote 15 January and maybe #Snapelections in March.
