LDP’s PM Urged to Exit Stage Left After Epic July Flop
In the grand saga that is Japanese politics, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is reportedly hinting that Prime Minister should 'please step aside' following their epic underperformance in the July Upper House election. Nothing says confidence like quietly suggesting your party leader take a graceful exit after what basically looks like a political faceplant. July's election seems to have been the punchline rather than the comeback act. While no dramatic speeches or banners have popped up yet, insiders whisper that this is the political equivalent of your car sputtering at the stop sign, with the LDP collectively hoping their PM remembers where the emergency brake is.

When your own party subtly suggests you step down after a July election flop, you know your political career is riding a unicycle on a tightrope during a hurricane.
Only in politics does 'step aside' become the polite version of 'pack your bags and buy a bus ticket.'
July’s election results were so bad, even the LDP leadership sent the PM a very passive-aggressive 'maybe go home' memo.
