A Japanese nationalist party led by fiery anti-globalist Sohei Kamiya was among the biggest winners in this summer’s parliamentary election

Outside a train station near Tokyo, hundreds of people cheer as Sohei Kamiya, head of the surging nationalist party Sanseito, criticizes Japan’s rapidly growing foreign population.

As opponents, separated by uniformed police and bodyguards, accuse him of racism, Kamiya shouts back, saying he is only talking common sense.

Sanseito, while still a minor party, made big gains in July’s parliamentary election, and Kamiya’s “Japanese First” platform of anti-globalism, anti-immigration and anti-liberalism is gaining broader traction ahead of a ruling party vote Saturday that will choose the likely next prime minister.

      In addition Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, France, UK, Germany off the top of my head .

      I think the list of pro immigration non racist countries is smaller. Spain is sort of accepting I guess?
