japanese government

Recently the prime minister for japan, Tao Aso, has resigned and his spot is up for grabs. The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has governed Japan for the last 50 years, but now Yukio Hatoyama from the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) is a big candidate to win the election. The Democratic Party of Japan has never held office before and because of that reason the voters are skeptical of Yukio Hatoyama as new Prime Minister. Hatoyama has the same belief as our president, Barak Obama, which is "change" and also believes in a flexible government that can adjust to the problems that the japan has to face.
Hatoyama promises many changes like raising the minimum wages to help improve japans historic highs in unemployment. Hiring minimum wages will also help the homelessness in japan which is also at its highest it has ever been in japans history. Hatoyama's plans to improve Japan's economy includes: giving $3000 per child for each family every year, and giving $1000 to every unemployed citizen looking for a job annually. Giving $3000 for every child will supposedly help japan's rapidly shrinking and aging population by encouraging woman to have children.
On September 22, 2009 Hatoyama won the election for prime minister of Japan. Hatoyama say he has mixed feelings for excitement about how he had changed history, and now he has a huge responsibility because of it. He also says now that the first battle is over a new on has begun. When he says this he means the problems that he has to overcome just to keep japan out of recession. Now all Hatoyama has to do is keep his word as the prime minister. Its a little skeptical on where the money that Hatoyama needs to improve Japan's issues but hopefully he keeps his word.
