DPJ Government and Prime Minister Hatoyama

Japan is to get a new prime minister (again) in the form of Mr. Hatoyama. There have been some pretty charisma lacking leaders in Japan in the past, so it surprises me that the population of Japan has decided to elect a pussy cat as the leader of their country.

"[Mr Hatoyama] has a very free point of view. From morning to night, he always wants to do the right thing. The problem is he doesn't know what the right thing is." (Mure Dickie).

I can't help but think that in a hurry to get rid of a poorly led LDP party that the citizens of Japan have rushed to elect an even further incompetant DPJ with a puppet as a leader. Time will tell, but I have a feeling that some people will soon regret their voting decisions!

Leading a country is not just about offering the common people money and free highways.....
