Really nothing new on this website today but I just wanted to express my anger against this period of time in Tokyo when the elections come…
It is absolutely unbearable … Cars go around all the districts with huge speakers, while there’s a lady in the car shouting in the mic with an very bothering voice “vote for X for the district of Y … vote for X for the district of Y …”
I mean is what politics is all about in Japan ?! This is mind torturing/brain washing, that’s it !
I’m wondering what the people who do that are actually thinking …
“Hmmm … I don’t know who to vote for because I haven’t got enough information on their plans … Why not the one who shouted the loudest and the most, preventing me from having a peaceful week-end ?”
Yeah, that must be what they think people will behave when the time comes to go voting …
The best part is that there are so many candidates that you can be sure to get at least one within 10 minutes, and that lasts for the whole week-end, from 8am to 8pm (actually, I assume they do that during the week too but I can’t tell from the 15th floor where my office is).
