Contents Focused Prime Minister?
Date: 8/25/2006
Criss Cross reports that with elections just around the corner, Japan Today dropped into Hibiya to ask who Japan's next Prime Minister will be. Ogura, 53 states the following: "Although I don't support Abe, I think he'll be the next PM. I wish the LDP dominance would end. The privileges that they have must be destroyed. Look at the low voter turnout at past elections. There is a silent majority who don't vote anymore because they do not believe things can be changed by their votes. I believe that Japan needs a sort of internal driven revolution. Japanese are not good at making political decisions and economic policy, but we are good at adapting ideas from many backgrounds. Culture and branding can play a big part in politics. Foreign Minister Aso, for example, is interesting because he is a big fan of manga, so I would like him to use his cultural sense more aggressively. Then maybe he'll become Japan's next prime minister."
