Beautiful Abe

You are Prime Minister of a power country and your party has just suffered a crushing defeat in the upper house of parliament. Not just a crushing defeat but the worst ever in the history of your party. The last guy who suffered such a defeat resigned within weeks. What is your strategy to pull you and your party out of this problem?

"Make [Japan] a beautiful country"

What the hell does it mean anyway? And what does one achieve by making a country "beautiful"? No wonder the economic recovery is short lived.
