I wonder if the election will be okay....

First of all, I want to mention that I hardly own any Japanese stocks, so I take a neutral stance on what happens with the Japanese stock market.

Well, politicians are naturally criticized, but... The media reports seem overly negative. Normally, I think there would be more expectations at the beginning of a new administration, but this criticism seems a bit abnormal (even though I have also said quite a few bad things ^^;). Due to the shock of Shigeru Ishiba on Monday, I think the media finds it easy to criticize. However, if this negative reporting continues and leads to a general election... Even if it doesn't result in a change of government, if the Liberal Democratic Party loses seats, it won't be good for the Japanese stock market.

I expect the first approval ratings to come out around this weekend, but I also think this could become another factor of turmoil in the market.
