|speaker=[[File:Ayn Rand.png]] [[Objectivism|Ayn Rand]]
}}
'''Mediocracy''', or explicitly '''Rule of the Mediocre''', is a form of government where a class of mediocre individuals are more dominant in society. While this ideology is mostly a joke, one could make the argument that the average person in society is its best representative and as such should control the nation. It could be said that it is a less extreme form of [[File:Kak.png]] [[Kakistocracy]] (which wants society to be ruled by the least competent, as opposed to just the mediocre). It's a semi-pejorative term referring to leaders who didn't do anything exceptional (good or bad), and remain forgotten about.

== History ==

=== [[File:ShigeruIshiba.png]] '''Ishibaism''' ===
Shigeru Ishiba is a veteran Japanese politician from the [[File:LDP(Japan).png]]Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), born in 1957, whose career spans decades of cabinet service, party leadership bids, and regional political influence. He draws significant inspiration from former [[File:EconPop.png]]Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka. Ishiba has emulated Tanaka’s style by cultivating deep local networks, prioritizing rural infrastructure projects, and leveraging party resources to support regional development. This manifests in his advocacy for targeted public works spending and fiscal transfers to underdeveloped prefectures, demonstrating a hands-on, clientelist approach rooted in Tanaka’s legacy.

Ishiba’s policy positions also reflect [[File:Cermon.png]]'''ceremonial monarchism''', where he publicly endorses the Imperial family and the symbolic unity it represents, while his practical governance emphasizes [[File:Libconserv3.png]]'''liberal conservatism''' and [[File:Moder.png]]'''moderatism''', carefully balancing tradition with incremental reform. Accusations of [[File:Gero.png]]'''gerontocracy''' emerge from his reliance on senior LDP figures and elder bureaucrats to advance initiatives, but Ishiba frames this as valuing political experience and continuity. Economically, he supports [[File:Keynes.png]]'''Keynesian interventions''', particularly in rural development, combining [[File:Soccap.png]]'''social capitalism''' with [[File:ShinzoAbe.png]]'''post-Abenomics pragmatism''' to stimulate growth through infrastructure, investment incentives, and market-friendly subsidies.

On defense, Ishiba demonstrates [[File:JapaneseNeomilitarism.png]]'''Japanese neo-militarism''', advocating for a more capable Self-Defense Force and closer coordination with the United States. His proposals for revising National Defense Program Guidelines reflect [[File:Necon.png]]'''neoconservative pragmatism''', balancing constitutional pacifism with regional security concerns. In domestic governance, he emphasizes [[File:Progconf.png]]'''progressive conservatism''' and [[File:Patcon.png]]'''paternalistic conservatism''', coupling strong security and economic policies with social welfare protections. His push for [[File:3WayCon.png]]'''Third Way conservatism''' combines national coordination with local autonomy, reflecting a [[File:Reform.png]]'''reformist pragmatism''' that values measured, incremental change rather than radical transformation.

Furthermore, Ishiba’s legislative and campaign history shows the influence of [[File:EconPop.png]]'''Tanakaism''' in practice: he actively lobbies for prefectural budget allocations, invests in rural infrastructure, and fosters personal ties with local leaders to secure political loyalty. These actions echo Tanaka’s model of clientelist politics while incorporating Ishiba’s own [[File:Pragmat.png]]'''pragmatic conservatism''' and [[File:Soccap.png]]'''social capitalism''', showing a deliberate attempt to blend populist attention to local needs with broader national strategy.

==Personality==
Judging from his name, he's mediocre, and as such, forgettable. His best friends are [[File:Moder.png]] [[Moderatism]] and [[File:Anrad.png]] [[Anti-Radicalism]]. He only prefers songs based on how popular or relevant they are.
