Naota Kan To Face Headwinds
from Current Affairs Hosted by Morning Run
Sheila A Smith, Senior Fellow for Japan Studies at the Council on Foreign Affairs in Washington DC, explains the implications of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) losing control of the Upper House, and how Naoto Kan may deal with the postal reform bill and the relocation of the US Marine Corp base station to Nago, which is strongly opposed by the locals. There's a possibility that Kan may be outsted in DPJ's party re-elections. Sheila believes it will take some years for Japan to have a meaningful two-party system but the Japanese are supporting this transition.
