Japanese prime minister, Yasuo Fukuda announced his resignation tonight suddenly. He said this was a good timing to announce his resignation as the Diet had closed yet. A year ago, Shinzo Abe suddenly announced his resignation because of his illness. Fukuda denied the sickness as a reason of resignation. One big reason was the opposition party which has shut down its window to discuss about the future of Japan with the ruling party.
I feel empty to see his press conference on TV. He shows his high pride, and the way of his talk was just like other people's affairs. His action will affect everybody's life, but he seemed he almost said "I do not care what you feel... I want to drop out of this game".
I know that politics is a kind of psychological game. It requires politicians to be tough, and I can see Fukuda's weakness in tough situation. No passion to break through the wall between the ruling party and opposition party. Did he appeal his frustration to public with his words? No. He seemed not to believe in the power of words. He just follows his aesthetic which everybody cannot follow.
What kind of action do we take along with the concept, taking one's responsibility in this circumstance? What is the leadership? Fukuda has stayed as a prime minister for only a year.
