The (Disturbed) State of the Nation


In a poll taken two weeks ago in this country, 71% of respondents said they thought Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso should resign as a result of both his incompetence and public sentiment that he is becoming increasingly out of touch with current issues. This compares to 13% that supported him and 45% who felt the country should instead be led by the main opposition leader, Democratic Party of Japan chief Ichiro Ozawa.



(A campaign poster for the DPJ featuring Ozawa. The caption says, "The Father of Japan moves," or something like that.)

Now 57% of poll respondents are saying Ozawa should resign both as DPJ chief and as a member of the Diet as a result of a recently uncovered political donation scandal.

The voting public can be pretty fickle, can't it? Then again, so can politicians' morals.

As for me, I'm 100% fed up with politics in general, but since I can't vote, it doesn't really matter, does it?
