I was a bit naughty to allude to the Japanese General Election on Sunday and not give you a result. (I'm assuming those who read Joe Bloggs abroad and tend to access local medial outlets only will have heard next to nothing about the election. From experience Japan only registers on global news radar screens for earthquakes and major dips in the Nikkei share index.) Anyway, the ruling party got back in with a decreased majority. This Economist article gives a succinct appraisal of the outcome.

. I didn't pay particular attention though.
