it will be a case study to show how j-extreme-righty actually is backed by the public opinion.
btw, Tamogami, who has been treated like a living god by netouyos, just obtained the lowest number of votes not onlny in 2014 t-gov election but also in his electoral district of 2014 lower house election and lost needless to say.
Among the effects of Tokyo Gov. Yoichi Masuzoe’s resignation is the triggering of another costly gubernatorial election. If past examples are any indication, the race to choose a successor will cost Tokyo taxpayers a whopping ¥5 billion.
When Naoki Inose, Masuzoe’s immediate predecessor, quit in December 2013 over a scandal involving ¥50 million received as loans from the Tokushukai hospital chain, Tokyo was forced to squeeze out ¥4.9 billion in emergency funds for an election. Of that, about ¥4.6 billion was actually spent, an official from Tokyo’s election management committee said.
Masuzoe’s resignation is certain to result in similar costs, the official added.

I'm in too, but what gets me is how nickel and dime the bribes are that result in these idjits beig toppled. Don't get me wrong, I could do quite well with 50 million yen, but that's only $500,000 CAD. All the nitwits have to do is serve out their terms and they'll be in for 4 times that within 5 years of finishing. I do dislike the dishonesty part, ferschur, but that sort of simple simon greed is just bumpkin stuff; unworthy of the ruler of a World City, in MYHOMO. And I say that as a proud native of a province that once had a premier resign for getting a free sundeck:
