She is nothing to do with government. She has no power. She's for the Japanese and Americans to come and take pictures of.

Yet she gets to pick the PM, as about as close as you get to a
president. That sounds like power to me.

She doesn't get to pick anyone. We vote for the party, the party picks a PM.

Somebody should tell the folks at wikipedia that. Even so, you still
don't get to vote for your leader. It really sounds like your vote
doesn't count much either.
