Japanese JLPT N2 Vocabulary (Chap 10 - Sec 3 - Politics)

Chapter 10 - The News Section 3 - Politics (政治) Considering the topic is the news, all the bonus words have examples taken from clips of actual news programs or segments. This means they may be a bit longer and harder to follow and might not be as suitable for repeating or shadowing, so the timing has been changed to be shorter. This however offers a different kind of practice from the textbook sentences or ones made up just to illustrate a particular word.
