Strangely I don't remember seeing this scuffle anywhere on Japanese TV unless I missed it.

But I guess that is always the way with your own media

It was on TV Japan, which is a US channel run by NHK.

Happened around 4pm on the news channels if I remember right, they were doing a live broadcast. Most of the news shows now cut the dogpile out and just have the before and after lol.

I'm really ashamed the US pushed for this.

It's not ideal, but it's the right move. Too much history, too much tension and too many potential enemies surrounding Japan for them to try and play Switzerland. That's utopic at best, negligent at worst.

it's so strange how the entire japanese political mainstream is utopic and only an ultra right wing war hawk realizes what's obvious to you...

Waifu voting time over in the anime threads, gets pretty heated at times.

Entire political mainstream? According to this poll 54% are against the bill, it's not an overwhelming opposition as some are pretending.
Also, ultra right wing? Please.

It's always nice to see some passion in politics.

As much as it does nothing, it's a shame US Congress isn't that passionate when discussing far-reaching security bills that affect all Americans, like spying funny business.

You're not passionate enough if you're not throwing punches? No thank you. US politics are partisan enough with expecting senators to get into fistfights.

Per your link, almost twice as many polled oppose the bill compared to those who support it (54% vs 29%) and 68% consider the bill unnecessary. I don't think it's fair to say that anyone is "pretending" that there is a strong opposition to this bill.

My point is that it's not overwhelming, let alone "the entire political mainstream". It's a simple majority.

Yeah what, that's some pretty blatant misrepresentation . 2:1 difference is pretty overwhelming in many peoples personal dictionaries

That's not how you do a 10-man rolling maul.

I hope this builds an ousting of the ruling party.

In what world is the absolute majority not overwhelming?
