Hatoyama's support rate falls to 20.7%
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20100430a1.html

Seriously, for you political otakus.
This guy is a complete failure, am I right?

All I hear about from his administration is the constant failing to shift around the Futenma base countless times, finance corruption and that crazy idea about creating an actual Asian Union.

Will he be the quickest in and out Prime Minister of Japan? Or am I missing something here?

日本国民も早くやめてほしいと思ってる。
Japanese want him to quit immediately

[Anonymous No.]

Other than the fact that Hata lasted two months, so there's no way that Hatoyama can be the quickest out?

[Anonymous No.]

The entire establishment is against his party, that includes the media. He never had a chance. The knives were out from day one, the unelected government (which actually controls Japan) is against any change. They and their friends and allies in the business combines we be in control or no one will.

1994. Hosokawa resigned under all kinds of corruption accusations after 8 months in office, and then Hata was forced in and resigned two months later because he had no political support at all and was about to be voted out.

Meh, the last 4 prime ministers have all had abysmal approval ratings. Hatoyama's actually not doing too bad relatively speaking..

羽田孜が2カ月で総理やめたなんてよく知ってるね。

もっとも、辞めるのかどうかわかりませんが。

I was surprised that you know Hata was 2 month out
So Hatoyama can't be quickest
Actually,we don't know if he quit or not

Hatoyama is a muppet of Ozawa

he is extremely rich man and loopy man,too,
He is just a sesame street muppet.

see? that's what I don't get (and why I never trust politicians). They're fucking rich to the brim. Why not just retire?
Anybody who doesn't just retire as soon as possible after making 4 million dollars shouldn't be trusted.

it doesn't
he's a failure just like everyone before him except koizumi perhaps.
koizumi is a nutcase though, basically like ron paul. japan's been sinking since the 90s and it will be another decade at least before something changes for real.

[Anonymous No.]

Japan's political system is too stubborn for any real change. If he fails shortly it will only be another blow to Japan's political stability and economy planning.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5005591
It's about power anon, also, Japanese politics are definitely not entry level. Although it has been one party in power for like the last couple decades until now of course.

>koizumi is a nutcase though
He was the great kind of charismatic, I always viewed him as the Bill Clinton of Japan, always made Bush look like such a stiff too. He probably rode the credit bubble like many leaders during that time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5005440
I haven't been following Japanese politics (I prefer Eastern Europe. Just look at Ukraine this week) so I don't know much about him rather then he apologised.

So give me a run down on what's happening in Japan with this guy.

You don't hear about the poor so much in the Japanese media at all with the exception of closing down homeless shelters. That's pretty disturbing.

> 20 February 2009: two Chinese PLAAF J-10A fighters intercepted three Japan Air Self-Defense Force F-2 fighters flying close to the Senkaku Islands, and locked their missiles onto the Japanese fighters. After a three minute stand-off, the Japanese fighters returned to Japanese air space.

Instead of trying to antagonize the US, why don't they first try to assert their dominance over territories that Japan claims as their own?

This is embarrassing, kicked out of your own home like that.

Current Japanese political situation is similar to Mexico.

Mexico's ruling party was always PRI, but then came some guy who said he'd change everything and make it better. Then for the first time a history, a party that wasn't PRI won.

However, this new party didn't really bring about any change. After the mid term government period of the first PAN party presidential candidate (Vicente Fox=>2004) many deputies and senators from PAN party has been accused of corruption

Hatoyama came into power in similar fashion, taking away control from the only ruling party and making history. It seems he's doomed to not be very different.

Seriously how important could a U.S. base be to the entire administration or is it just the showing of no confidence in his leadership?

And I also enjoy all these strange new parties being formed because of this political mess. If Hatoyama were to step down who would take leadership? The other major parties are fucked up as well aren't they?

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 30% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11 (see trends).

Not so knowledgeable, are you?
He's been at 1/3 for a while now.

Rasmussen's tends to give Republicans a few extra percentage points than Democrats on late, but the bigger issue is that Rasmussen's system of using strong approval minus strong disapproval as the headline number instead of approval minus disapproval is really fucking nonstandard.

Obama's approval ratings are tepid. About equal numbers of people approve or disapprove of him, which is bad but not that bad. The thing is that people who disapprove of him are more likely to strongly disapprove, whereas people who approve of him are more likely to weakly approve. That's not good news for Obama, but it makes some sense: in the current environment it's hard to get really excited about somebody. (And yes, this WILL be a shitty year for Democrats electorally. But that's no excuse for overstating things.)

I am an independent. Your one party system can go fuck itself. There is no functional difference the Democrat or Republican parties. Its all about who is getting over on who not whats best for the country. The Democrats are just as repressive as the Republicans.
Anyone who defends the Democrats or Republicans is a sell out piece of shit.

Independents are useless because they can't vote in primaries. Enjoy voting for two extremes in the general election then.

Who says it even worth the bother to vote primary or otherwise? Anyone who is running for office doesn't deserve to be elected 99.9% of the time.

Go argue with you fellow haters in /new/. You Republicans and Democrats deserve each other. You treat the important business of running the country for the benefit of the people as some kind of contact sport. You all lack civility and have no respect for each other. You can all rot in hell with the greedy people you help put in office.

You all need to step back and look in the mirror.

I am going to wait until you and your fellow assholes collapse the system.

Its only a matter of time. You would rather be 'right' and get in the last word than do anything for this country or your fellow citizens. People are tired of fighting against people like you and the corruption and gridlock you seem to worship. You idiots that put party, politics and gaming the system ahead of the country will collapse it. Its not if its when.
