Oh hey look....a "left-of-centre" government actually exists in the western world.Voters were said to be dissatisfied with the ruling party's management of the economy and record-high unemployment. The vote was held as the country continued to struggle with a slumping economy, rising national debt and rapidly aging population.
During the campaign, the DPJ accused the government of ruining Japan's social security net and widening the gap between the rich and poor.
So when is this planet gonna learn to simply ignore right-wingers on every issue that matters? They've been wrong about everything for as long as they've opened their mouths and have royally fucked up everything they've ever touched. I'm stumped...because the only thing those people care about is money yet people keep voting them in. You'd think humanity could have just moved on from this 50 years ago, but I guess - like everywhere else in the world - people are only concerned with themselves.
No wonder global warming will get worse and business-loving cocksuckers will continue to get rich.
And I'm no commie. I'm just calling it as I see it with the mountain of evidence that points to that conclusion. I fully understand the need for capitalism and the "drive of progress" that greed creates. But none of that belongs in politics. Not when the "welfare of the people" is supposed to be a government's highest priority. Governments should regulate markets, not become part of them at the expense of the populace.
