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:
- None of my Japanese Facebook friends express their political opinions. This obviously in contrast to Israelis
- 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)
- The election cars are hilarious . Had an Israeli visitor this week and it took me sometime to explain the concept
- TV coverage is as boring as anywhere else in the world
- No Political comedy. None!
