Bye war crime denier. Hello probably worse war crime denier. I like know shit about Japan's politics other than their Communist party are soc dems (wouldn't be able to exist otherwise) and the largest non ruling Communist party in East Asia, and Liberal Democrats are shit but always remain in power.
Somewhat ironically the DPJ was way more into austerity when they took power. Abe's tenure has generally been about mild tax increases and continued big spending. He is (relatively) big on deregulation.
