"dead set against it. if they are living here permanently, they should get japanese citizenship if they haven't caused any problem. so it's better to come up with easier system to own the citizenship."
this is a comment of the governor of tokyo about permanent foreign residents' voting rights in japan. i don't have my own opinion about this topic yet, and from what i read his opinion does make sense. BUT how he said it made me sigh.
-if they haven't caused any problem-
what is that mean? i am surprised to hear an official comment like this from a head of this metropolitan, one of the biggest cities in the world.
i really don't see future in japanese politics.
