Japan’s politicians lose their way at a bad time
The DPJ talks about replacing bureaucrats with politicians in key ministerial positions
but says virtually nothing about what policies these newly empowered politicians would
implement. Ichiro Ozawa, its leader, is a survivor from the old school of Japanese
politics too busy micromanaging the election - he is his own Karl Rove - and too
unwilling to share decision-making with others in the party, especially those whom he
suspects are not entirely loyal to him, to be spending time preparing a transition.
民主党は省庁に議員を送り込むと言っているが、その議員がどんな政策を実施するのか
実質的に何も言っていない。小沢一郎は保守的な日本の政治家であり選挙対策ばかりで
忙しい。政策決定を党の中の誰とも共有するつもりがなく、とりわけ小沢に完全に忠誠を
誓っていると小沢が信じる人間でないと相手にされない。
The other day I asked an MP who is one of the party’s economic policy specialists what
fiscal policies the DPJ would employ to deal with what is shaping up to be Japan’s worst
postwar recession. His answer: “We haven’t thought much about that yet.”
