I love Ozawa! Thanks to him, the DJP has no chance of ever winning against the LDP! Thank you Ozawa san and your persisten cold!

May be Ozawa is suffering from infectious disease(?) or unhappy with nuclear deal 123?

An Ozawa recovery or a DPJ recovery? Can't have both.

Am I the only one who finds it too infantile for a political leader?

I struggle to see how anyone can still support the crooked LDP unless you're benefiting. But Ozawa and his shenanigans has got to go.He's worse than a baby. Japan needs a party change as badly as the U.S.

"Better the devil you know than the devil you don't."

Anyway, you answered your own question. Ozawa is a terrible leader and the DPJ a shambles. Until there is a new party that supports progressive, sensible reform (rather than just being a mish-mash of people who don't get on with the LDP) there will be no change.

One positive way for that to happen might actually be a break-up of the DPJ and the formation of a new, forward-thinking party that could attract similarly minded people from the LDP.
