This episode is hilarious, in that it’s pretty accurate to real life. Tommy Lee campaigns as a politician, wins and gets into parliament and leads for a short term. Unfortunately he can’t respond to accusations from his opponents, so he is forced to resign. This is pretty similar to real Japanese politics, which seem to churn through prime ministers like a lawn mower (6 different prime ministers in the last 6 years, to give you an idea).
