Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party has made a short anime attack ad as part of its election campaign, caricaturing the profligate policies of the opposition Democratic Part of Japan as fiscally unsound, and distributed online.
You can view it below:
The man shown resembles a young Yukio Hatoyama, the leader of the DPJ, courting a young lady with the Diet building visible in the background.
He makes various promises relating to recent (and expensive) policy pledges by the DPJ, “With me you can have as much education and toll-free highway access as you want! It’ll be OK!” To which the lady wonders “Will the money be OK?”, and he responds “Think about the details after we’re married!”
While by any reasonable assessment both parties are utterly incompetent basket cases almost incapable of disobeying various special interest groups and the civil service, the latest policy ideas of the DPJ, such as abolishing tolls on the highways and introducing a 1,000 yen minimum hourly wage (substantially higher than the national average), have tended to invite criticism on financial grounds given that huge public debt and budget deficits the nation enjoys, along with an elderly population which threatens to strangle Japan’s economy…
increasing minimum wages is a populist move designed to get votes. It’s a horrible idea in a recession as people who pay wages that low will simply fire one worker to afford to pay the increased salary of the rest. Simple Economics.
The Japanese LDP is the only LDP I would ever vote for but as an american i am very conservative by european standards in comparison.
subs where?
1,000 yen minimum hourly wage
10$ an hour minimum wage? I may need to move to japan temporarily if that passes…
Foreigners don’t get the same benefits as Japanese. For example you’re meant to get a minimum 10 sick days a year, but English teachers with INTERAC only get like 5… complain, and they’ll go “what are you gonna do about it, quit? We’ve got weeaboo fucks like you begging for a job in Japan”.
Just tell the fags something along these lines:
Quit? No need for that. You will give me the exact same deal a japanese gets. Why should you do that? No special reason. BTW, isn’t it terrible how many accidents happen in japan? You can get crippled or killed so fast, it’s really shocking, isn’t it?
They won’t get votes. Be reasonable fellow otakus and look! They are obviously the kind of government who values money more than the economy! They would benefit the wealthy and rob the poor and the lower classed! Obviously, the Japanese people will see this view also!
They’re government offers promises such as cheaper education and such, but those are only available for the higher class! Obviously, those promises are false hopes and dishonest propaganda with no basis other than to buy more votes!
My fellow otakus, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO BANNED l♥♥i!!
I say we Akumetsu all of em fatcat politicians!
His hand movements are hypnotic.
