Poor old Aso Taro, the embattled Japanese prime minister. He’s not having an easy time now and is possibly the most unpopular PM ever.
My friend Sandra found this poster in the stairwell of TGI Friday’s in Shibuya and it gave us a chuckle. Some of the more uncharitable would say that Japanese prime ministers stay in power just long enough to get a photo shaking hands with the American president. I don’t think the irony was lost on the creator of this poster.
I suppose I should now go into a long in depth analysis of Japanese politics and Aso’s chances for reelection in the next parliamentary session but I won’t. I don’t care and neither do you. The Japanese people certainly don’t. Suffice it to say, Aso may just survive the next election. Can the Japanese people find a new inspiring candidate to lead them out of their current malaise?
No they can’t
