Sympathy for the assassin doesn’t mean that people would suddenly change their votes.
The fact is that many people in Japan are questioning the role the church plays in politics. This wouldn’t have happened without the assasination: https://time.com/6204978/japans-kishida-dumps-ministers-with-ties-to-church-linked-with-abes-assassination/ https://time.com/6204978/japans-kishida-dumps-ministers-with...
- koheripbal 4y agoIt's hard not to see this as victim blaming. No amount of work Abe did with the church justifies his murder. These articles strike me more as an attempt to curtail the sympathy votes that Abe's party is getting as a result of the assassination. It's the worst kind of political sleaze.
