Miscellaneous impressions about Fukuda cabinet.

Personally I am content to member of New Fukuda cabinet. There are three good members for me. Yoichi Masuzoe, Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry. Watanabe Yoshimi, minister in charge of financial affairs. Ishiba Shigeru, Minister of State for Defence. As to others, I don't know about them.



I think it was a LDP's fault that Koizumi and Abe cabinet didn't move in step with people. Koizumi was a lack of talk prime minister. Abe was an ambiguity prime minister. I hope Fukuda cabinet explain about their policy well.



Media people tend to like "Reform". There is a tendency that cabinets which call for reform receive a high evaluation by western country. But speed and balance of reform is a big matter. Koizumi and Abe cabinet was too fast and they lost a balance and lost endorsement. Even if they were right, too fast reform can't become successful. Middle-ground is best. If we were to take a worse-case scenario, it is communist revolution in years gone by. I hope Fukuda san adopts the golden mean.
