we dont know. yet. Kan surprised me actually, he was tougher than most that came before him. And in 1 year, what can we expect, theres nothing much one can do in one year. Lets just hope for the best :(

Below Average, as per Japanese Standards. He is likely to fail due to J-economic Woes.

I doubt he'll last long enough to make that visit to Yasukuni that he'd just love to make.

@Squidbert - I got burned on those "Yes, we Kan!" t-shirts a year and a half ago.

Don't go there with Noda puns...

I think he will fare six months max. But I am not up to speed on a lot of things, just going by recent history to give that number.

He's a consensus builder. Unfortunately there isn't even a consensus within his own party. If he's going to be successful he'll have to be willing to battle politicians in both parties.

Japan had their credit rating downgraded as a warning to allow their leaders to try to implement real change in the country and stay in power longer. They would want to start giving him the opportunity to work on the the political inertia of Japan, so their might be a glimmer of hope, but only a faint one.
