Japanese Elections

As I can’t vote, I have little to no interest in the elections.

I do however have interest in the process, culture and discussions.

A few observations:

  1. None of my Japanese Facebook friends express their political opinions. This obviously in contrast to Israelis
  2. It is not surprising to bump into candidates in front of the train station talking, but very few people stand to listen (as they rush to work)
  3. The election cars are hilarious . Had an Israeli visitor this week and it took me sometime to explain the concept
  4. TV coverage is as boring as anywhere else in the world
  5. No Political comedy. None!
