PS, don't use cocaine.

With looming population crisis the zero immigration policy will sure come handy...

welp, now japan is "extreme right".

They were already pretty far right on the world map tho.

She may be a woman, but she has the balls to say what needs to be said.

Well, immigration isn't the only way to try to address a looming population crisis.

In fact, it isn't the first option I can think of!

They could as well, oh I dunno, have more babies.

Other then idiotic tax for not married people they are not doing anything. Really can`t understand both Japan and South Korea, both will be in deep in few decades and their governments are not doing anything to prevent that.
Probably because all the power is in the hands of geriatrics and they are willing to screw the future of the countries and young people over to cling for it.

Japan, of all places, has got a woman leader before America.

Democrats are really knocking it out of the park, guys.

I just find it crazy that nowadays it's news when an important political leader "is a woman", most countries have been democratic for a while, like decades, but still there seems to be a sentiment of sexism in politics when it comes to giving females any position of power.

US is still behind.

The US didn't grant women the right to vote until 1920, a historically late start in gender equality.

Japan is already overpopulated. Who cares if the economy struggles for a few generations. Who cares about the portfolio of some bigwig.

The alternative is unsustainable growth into collapse like the west is doing.

I'm not Japanese and I don't want to live there. However, I think it's great and good luck to her.

Basically as soon as she was announced leader of her ruling party, a long standing coalition party abruptly seceded from them. They then went to a joint opposition to hastily present an alternative PM candidate to her. It did not work out for them. These developments have fueled accusations and reignited deep seated feelings and issues regarding sexism and the role of women in Japanese society.

How do you define overpopulation? India is the most populated country on Earth. And they don't seem to be slowing down (currently first in the world for births per hour).

It's not a western industrialized country, though.
