Japan fascinates!

Japan's ruling party could re-emerge after losses - Yahoo! News: "'Japan isn't like the United States or Britain,' Chief Cabinet Secretary Takeo Kawamura said Wednesday. 'We don't have a framework to carry out this transition.'"

This is in all probability an important point. One of the arguments that Yukio Hatoyama, the new leader, had was that it was time to give power back to the politicians from the bureaucrats. Yes, the "bureaucrats", whatever that means. Here in Sweden Alliansen has had similar problems with the Social Democratic power circle as they have been below in the polls most of the time since the elections 2006. Democracy in molasses?
