The Great Reset: America first, now Japanese first – Japan's morning sun is rising from the right.
What is happening in the West is also happening in the western democracy countries.
"For three years, a once fringe opposition party held just one seat in Japan's 248-seat upper house. Sanseito emerged as one of the biggest winners of Japan's election – walking away with 14 seats. The party was born in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, where it gained prominence with YouTube videos that spread conspiracy theories about vaccinations. More recently, it has built its platform on a nationalist 'Japanese First' agenda, warning against a 'silent invasion of foreigners'. Sanseito's rise in popularity reflects growing unease over immigration and overtourism – issues the ruling government also sought to address with a new committee it created days before the election. But do these gains signal an enduring shift to the right in Japan?"
