Sooner or later, voters will want to blame Mr Abe for an economy he promised to fix. And there are other policies that are unpopular but for which he has not yet been punished. They include attempts to get Japan’s nuclear power plants working again after all were shut down following the catastrophic meltdown at Fukushima Dai-ichi five years ago this week. And new security laws passed last year, allowing Japan to take a more robust stance overseas, appear, according to many experts, to be unconstitutional. They certainly make many Japanese uncomfortable.
