PERSONAL

The transaction did not occur prior to me getting to the bank. As such, all is fine.


ISRAEL

Polls continue, fairly stable, as outlined in my last post.


JAPAN

Upper House elections draw closer. The Constitutional Democrats remain the second largest party in the lower house, and tied for second largest in the upper house. Polls suggest they will be clearly the second largest in the upper house after the election.


ITALY

The government remains high in the polls, consistently between 55%-60%. Of its constituent parts, Lega has a clear lead, between 30%-35% in the polls, with M5S between 25%-30%. The Centre Right, which includes Lega, however, is unable to break 50% support.
