Japan’s PM Resigns

By Alan Stewart Carl | Related entries in News

Us Americans sometimes forget that we aren’t the only nation with a disliked and ineffective government. Word out of Japan today is that Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda has resigned, apparently because he felt his low approval ratings would impede parliament’s ability to get anything accomplished. The resignation will likely take effect once the ruling party picks a new leader.

I wonder if we can convince our entire congress to resign over low approval ratings?
