The Ishiba administration has been launched, but what kind of politics will it have? Prime Minister Ishiba has shown signs of changing his stance before and after taking office, making it difficult to tell what will happen. If you take a cynical view, he may not have thought he would win when he ran for the presidency. That’s why he was able to ignore reality and say what he wanted to say. However, once he wins the election and becomes prime minister, he can no longer ignore reality, so it seems he is correcting his course to be more realistic. If this is the case, the Ishiba administration is likely to gently follow in the footsteps of the Kishida administration. (Kei)
