A lot of ground is covered in this edition of Seijigiri. We have a new Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, as Yukio Hatoyama has stepped down and taken Ichiro Ozawa with him. How will this affect the DPJ going into next month’s Upper House election?
The role of Futenma in the downfall of Yukio Hatoyama is discussed in the show, as well as some possible new cabinet members.
Another issue is support numbers for all parties, as it seems the voting public is tired of all political parties at this stage in time.
