| Vote for a better Matsumoto on Sunday |
English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!

Sadly, Nagano residents barely managed to register 50% of its vote in the election yesterday, and the progressive outside candidate managing only to squeeze 20% of that total. Of course that means we now have a Governor who can boast he got less than 40% of the popular vote in the lowest turnout since 1992.
ReplyDeleteNagano residents have only themselves to blame as we get four more years of wasteful spending, pork-barrel politics, environmental degradation, declining educational standards and inert tourist 'initiatives'.
Congratulations Matsumoto-san for running a positive, optimistic and considered candidacy. Shows though how entrenched powers are very hard to shift.
We all lost yesterday, not just you.
