Konnichiwa!


In order to honor the achievements and... exploits of candidates past, today on FNN, we present, "How to Fail Election in One Easy Step." I'm C.L. Pastalia, FNN correspondent.


Step One: Promise a bribe to voters!
(Here we have Lejina in May 2011, doing just that.)


Step Two: ???


Step Three: Profit!


Profit?


Sure, it's a win-win situation: Lejina gets an excuse to quit the Imperial Diet, and we don't have to put up with his supposedly representing us that month either! As an added benefit, eJapanese are reminded that fail doesn't pay.

For more news on how to turn defeat into victory, stay tuned!

It has come to my attention that the first draft of this article gave unjustified attention to certain elements within a large political party, which were averse to its traditions. This has been corrected. Please address any further concerns to the Press Director directly.
