Noda agrees to hold December elections.
Another one bites the dust in Japan. That didn't last long. The election forecasts promise to bring the LDP back in power. An unhappy prospect, except the DPJ has also repeatedly proven itself incompetent. Poor, poor Japan. Screw that. YOLO. |

Hamas has been intensifying its rockets campaign for weeks. Israelis in the southern regions near Gaza were getting increasingly...annoyed, and they naturally expect their government to do something. Israel frames this as a retaliatory campaign.
Some do accuse Netanyahu of pulling a CCP with the choice moment to start operations, because the Israeli elections are coming up. How much you agree with that is up to you. |

If only the demographics were different in Japan, they could have had a share of younger and more energetic politicians who would be able to make this electoral battle a case of conservatives vs. liberals and old vs. young, just as it happened in the US a few times and as it will happen in Canada. They desperately need a Kennedy or a Trudeau of their own.

Japan need to look at Sweden's social policies on how it helps people having time with family duties and having children while productivity at work is not hindered. |
