Japan Prime Minister

I have never been too interested in politics but if you live in Japan, you can get the chance to witness some political dramas. Well, the latest news is that the only 1 -year old PM Fukuda has call it quits. He has been only slightly better than the previous PM Abe. Mr. Abe has quitted months after his appointment due to health problems. Cannot blame, health is more important. Mr. Fukuda's reason? To say badly, he is descending to let someone more capable, younger and charismatic than him to clear up the sh*t accumulated by the previous govt. Obviously, he has finally figured out that 享老 weighs far better than spending days debating with the opposition party. I have initially wondered why people would choose a 72 year old man to be their PM in the 1st place. So, the next baton might be passed to Mr. Aso? We shall see if he is capable enough to solve problems of loss of pension records, misusing of funds and the dwindling economy. But please, the next one don't anyhow say "I quit". The Japanese yen is low enough.

btw, if we see from 1960, the turnover rate for Japan's PM is 7 times as high as Singapore's. Better not study Japan politics, you'd have trouble remember all the names.
