This week’s episode discusses results from legislative elections in both Lithuania and Japan. In Lithuania, the Social Democrats have topped the polls, ending Ingrida Šimonytė’s premiership. How did they manage to win the election? What will the next Government look like, and who will be Prime Minister? In Japan, new Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s snap election gamble has backfired. Why did the LDP do so badly by historical standards? Is Ishiba’s premiership doomed before it has even started? And what coalition may they seek? All these questions and more answered in this week’s episode.
