      Its likely that Aso Taro is going to be the next PM until an election, and just from looking at his wikipedia I don't think he's gonna be any better

      In May 2018, Asō downplayed alleged sexual harassment charges against his ministry's top bureaucrat by saying that "there is no such thing as a sexual harassment charge."[43] When asked to comment on a formal complaint submitted to his ministry on the alleged sexual harassment, Asō remarked that his "only thought was that it would have been easier to read if they used a bigger font."[44]
