Many reasons to shake your finger at ABE Shinzo,
future Prime Minister of Japan

- He wants to redraft the Japanese constitution, getting rid of the 50-year old peace clause, so that Japan can have a strong army.
- He embraces male succession to the Japanese imperial throne. (Thus opposing attempts to amend Japanese law to permit a woman to ascend as empress).
- He is more conservative than that Yasukuni-visiting Koizumi.
- He has stated that he is thinking about continuing Koizumi's Yasukuni shrine visits as Prime Minister.
- He has taken confrontational stances toward other countries in East Asia, including North Korea, South Korea, and China.
- Is quoted saying "Experience... has shown us that you cannot solve the North Korea problem with good will".
- He's ba-fugly.
