It seems that it is becoming a trend for the Japanese PM to resign whenever he runs into trouble. PM Fukuda announced his resignation in an unexpected twist to further weaken Japan's LDP. Fukuda is the 91st PM of Japan.
This comes barely a month after he announced a re-shuffle of the cabinet....and the relatively short tenure of his predecessor Shinzo Abe.
Such is the result when positions such as the PM are not directly elected by the population. The candidate selected from within party ranks may not have the drive, tenacity or dedication to see through a full term and push through a vision or policy for the country.
Japanese political system is very nepostic, with many ministers having "inherited" their positions by virtue of the family name and background. It is almost like a family business.
Lesson to be learned here is don't wear the hat if it doesn't fit...

j san, "everyone wants to rule the world", sounds familiar? anyways everybody wants to be number 1 but how many can truly be so??? by the way, once you have been a pm, ever for a day, you will enjoy lots of benefits & goodies after stepping down ... think about it, bro, interested???
well, the motivation is important and IMHO, being number also 1 means shouldering a heavy responsibility, e.g. if one runs a business, many families depend on the success of the business for their livelihood. If one is not prepared or caable of taking that responsibility, responsibly, one should not take the numero uno position.
well done! you are truly ready to takeover from bardarwi ...
