About this episode

Alex and Kaleigh explore the political landscape of Japan ahead of the upcoming national elections.

Join Alex and Kaleigh as they dive into the political landscape of Japan, a country dominated by one governing party throughout much of its modern election history. This month's early election, prompted by a year rife with party scandals, appears unlikely to disrupt the status quo. We delve into the party presidential elections that led to the national polls and uncover the dynamics shaping the upcoming national vote.
