Japan Election: Anti-immigrant Populism on the Rise | JQJO

Japan's upcoming upper house election is witnessing a rise in anti-immigrant rhetoric from populist parties like Sanseito, mirroring trends in the US and Europe. This shift, driven by ultraconservative groups, is impacting the election despite the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's struggles. With a significant percentage of undecided voters and the LDP's low polling numbers, a hung parliament is possible, potentially giving far-right parties influence in government negotiations.
