...but why? Why are they asking Taro Aso to resign who is determined to make this nation 'strong and cheerful' and above all pull this nation out of recession by offering 12,000 cash gifts?

the other otions are no better than Aso so, why bother? none of them has any idea for how to solve japans numerous educational, societal problems. they are even more clueless regarding the economy. the evil one knows is, in this case, better than the one you don't.

Why? They're just gonna bring in some other crusty old elitist 'wareware Nihonjin' xenophobic ethnocentric fear-stokin' OL groper to replace him. I say bring Koizumi back on the job.

I also think that the public are not involved enough in politics. Which why they get all these leaders with very little results. It is like which ever group is dominate just draws straws and the winner gets to run the country for a year.

Mr. Aso just wants to keep being a prime mister for a while and also don't want to lose his Cabinet office now. So poeple don't like LDP as Aso will not do better policy for homeless/jobless people any more. People wants "change" to DPJ. 12000yen cash one time can do NOT much.

"bring Koizumi back"
I liked Koizumi. He looked cool riding that Segway Bush gave him, and doing his Elvis impersonation.

Obligatory voting, like in most civilized european countries . . when the last monkey has to go vote, he has to use at least one of his braincells to make a cross somewhere . . . . . at least japan would know where it stands really then.
How many of the population in japan goes actually the way to the voting offices? 50%?

The federal revolving door is still spinning. I wonder how many of these protesters actually know what they are protesting about. How do the Japanese people expect anything to change if they keep changing governments every six months? I think they need to get a new hobby. Just ridiculous!

Yes, there is, but it doesn't rhyme with Aso.
I agree with someone above- if not Aso then who? We are scraping the bottom of the barrel now- I just can't see any of the current alternatives doing a better job, and at least Aso has some personality, unlike Fukuda.

This portion of Japanese way of life will never change. Simple basic reason. No one has a talent for a subarashii Management's skill.

ere on Friday night, and was very impressed with the quality of the speech that I heard, from a young Japanese guy. I also got one of their leaflets and was very encouraged to see people standing up like this and expressing their opinions about Aso and the LDP. I see hope for the future in this. Its a first strp to getting the LDP out of office. They quoted the percentage of people who disapprove of the government, and said that the ASO government cannot last more than 2-3 months with such a low approval rating. I enjoyed this rally - pity more of you hadnt been there. It was freezing cold, too, which made their efforts even more impressive.
