... for a psephologist at least... (177/365, 26 Jun 2022)
After a day in yesterday, in the midst of an election campaign, there is only one thing to do on a Sunday... rest! I hear you say; but no, with the RikkenDems, one of the key opposition parties, due to hold their rally down the train line, just a short elevator ride from one of my favourite restaurants, well...what's a psepyto do?
Pity the candidates having to get out and about in this weather really, it is very hot but at least today's rally was due to start around 6:00pm, once it had 'cooled' to about 32degsC. Really.
So, as with the other rallies, most of what I have to say about the politics of it all, will be over on the other blog as the campaign continues (until Election Day 10 July).
Meanwhile here's just a few pics from the day, including the (unexpected) appearance of Yoshino Tomoko, the first female leader of the labour union umbrella group Rengo (for Australians, think ACTU).

As promised to self, afterwards I popped up to what is fast becoming one of my fave places for a meal...and a power up for the rest of the week.
