Recent polls have shown that Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda’s approval ratings are pretty dismal, but does that mean he might step down soon? According to a Yomiuri poll pointed out by GlobalTalk 21, Japanese voters aren’t very excited about the available replacements for Mr. Fukuda. When eligible voters were asked who among the current Diet members they would most want to be the next Prime Minister, the top results were as follows:

  1. Nobody – 24.9%
  2. Taro Aso (LDP) – 21.7%
  3. Junichiro Koizumi (LDP) -16.1%
  4. No Answer – 9.5%
  5. Ichiro Ozawa (DPJ) – 5.3%
  6. Yasuo Fukuda (LDP) – 4.0%
If given a choice between nobody and your country's current leadership, would you pick nobody?

Give Fukuda a chance. Look at George Bush what a mess he got the country in. Alot worse then Fukuda.

Canada’s government sucks, and I never vote. There is no reason to, and the image for this entry says it all.
