Taro Aso has emerged as the early front-runner to replace Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, following his shock resignation on Monday.

Mr Aso, who is secretary general of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), said he was "qualified to take over Mr Fukuda's agenda".

The PM is stepping down after only a year in office, amid plunging support.

The LDP will hold a vote on 22 September for a new president, who would then become the prime minister.

The opposition says parliament should be dissolved and a snap election called.

Does he have enough experience? Is he too old? What about his pregnant muslim daughter?!!?!?

Personally I think since this is his FOURTH attempt to secure the party's top job, he shouldnt get it, and instead should take the hint!

Yasuo Fukuda resigned

Not 福田 康夫 (Hasuo Fukuda), I was talking about Junichiro Koizumi. You know, the maverick of the conservative party. The prime minister who led Japan in economic growth. I miss him. The last two prime ministers have been babbling fools.

I'll never understand you crazy parliamentarians and the fact that you never know when your government will call for an election.

what's wrong with posting about a pertinent recent political development, even if its true intentions lie in spamming?

Eh, I'd give this guy 6 months, 7 tops.

I'm curious and interested in Japanese politics and culture, but this is just spamming.
