"Shock Outcome:" Japan Hardline Conservative Takaichi Elected Party Leader, Set To Become First Female Prime Minister | ZeroHedge
ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

very interesting.Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) elected former Economic Security Minister Sanae Takaichi as its new leader, positioning her to become the country’s next prime minister in a parliamentary confirmation vote expected in mid-October. Takaichi, the pro-stimulus and anti-immigration conservative poised to become Japan’s first female prime minister widely viewed as Abe 2.0, is an energetic nationalist with a soft spot for the hard-nosed politics of Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher and the heavy metal music of Iron Maiden. In choosing the former economic security minister as its leader, the Liberal Democratic Party is essentially betting on a swing back to the right to attract the younger voters who have flocked to smaller populist outfits, including the arch-conservative Sanseito party.
