TOKYO (AP) — Japan's ruling coalition scored a stronger-than-expected victory in parliamentary elections, results showed Monday, as voters chose stability and hopes for economic revival over opposition pleas to stop the prime minister from building a more assertive military.

Half of the seats of the less powerful upper house, or 121 seats, were up for grabs in Sunday's vote. There had been no possibility for a change of power because the ruling coalition, headed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party, already controls the more powerful lower house, but the balloting was a key gauge of how much support Abe's coalition has among the public.

The Liberal Democrats won 56 of the 121 seats, official results showed on Monday. The party's coalition partner Komeito won 14 seats. The total of 70 seats was far better than the goal of a combined 61 seats set by Abe.

IF (if!) it is the group I am thinking about it is a tad more nationalistic than we should be comfortable with.

The Japanese are unrepentant racial superiorists and have a special disdain for the dog eyes who beat them.

Someone be sure to tell them to take a number then.

This, and a bit of luck, will enable the Japanese to continue to survive as a people, and a culture, and a country, long after the "white" nations of The West have collapsed to multiracial chaos or islam (take your pick).

More power to 'em.

I saw a headline saying Japan was run by a cult, I didn't bother clicking it

But as far as racial homogeneity goes,  Philippines, the Koreas, Vietnam,  China, are also very much that way.

Also, very much in the news have been stories that Japan is depopulating, losing its population.

Japan population drops for third year straight; 25% are elderly

You just can't win these days.

This doesn't hurt Japan.
It may even HELP Japan.

For the last 40 years or so, Japan has had overcrowded cities, with out-of-the-stratosphere prices for housing in urban areas.

A lower population will put a -downward- pressure on housing, making it more affordable to the young Japanese who will be coming along.

A lower population will put an -upward- pressure on wages (the "robotization" of industry notwithstanding). Fewer young incoming workers means companies will have to compete for those who are available and qualified. And of course, they will do so by offering higher wages.

So long as the Japanese prohibit almost EVERYONE from "becoming" Japanese;
so long as they restrict immigration;
and [most importantly] so long as they restrict muslim activity within Japan, they "have a future" as a -Japanese people-, even if their overall population decreases to one-half of what it is today.

In the meantime, we here at home are being destroyed by tidal waves of immigrants who are (by design) "not like us". And WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE PERMITTING IT TO HAPPEN.

One hundred years from today, there will still be a Japan.
But what will THIS country be like, by then....?

If they're culture didn't have small children as sex objects, maybe it would be one worth saving.
