Another Prime Minister....

First, I apologize for not blogging for the past week with mid terms and all.

However, this morning's news that Hatoyama Prime Minister resigned came as a shock. And I've decided to blog about it.

It came as a shock since after the conference with DPJ Secretary-General Ozawa, Mr. Hatoyama came out with a smile and a thumb up last night, giving us an impression that he is not going to resign.

However, looking back, Mr. Hatoyama was a pro at changing his mind every second.

There was a big reaction last month when he suddenly decided to push back the due date for Futenma battle to June, when his claim was to settle down this issue in May.

After Mr. Hatoyama, Mr. Kan is most likely to be elected as DPJ head, which should be decided at the meeting on June 4th.

Now what is remarkable is how Japanese prime ministers cannot seem to hold onto their position long enough.

Mori Prime Minsiter 387 days

Koizumi Prime Minsiter 1980 days

Abe Prime Minister 366 days

Fukuda Prime Minister 365 days

Aso Prime Minister 358 days

And now Hatoyama Prime Minister made a record of 259 days.

This fact that Japan has had 100 different Prime Ministers in the past few years is upsetting and this fact screams to the world how Japanese government is going through a corruption.

My hope for whoever becomes next Prime Minister, is to hold on to his/her seat for at least 2 years no matter what happens.

Taking responsibilities does not mean quitting and leaving all the mess to someone else.
