Instability at the top in Japan is a reflection of the changing nature of Japan. The old ways of thinking are not going to work. What is being done about the declining population (especially people of working age) and the ballooning government deficits? How will Japanese technology retain its edge? How will Japan remain peaceful and solvent unless there is a change in political will and drastic action taken?
Regardless of the political party, there will be a shift to younger leadership. Only leadership that is less than 40 years of age can take the drastic positions necessary. This has to happen -- and I guess in the next 10 years.
