A Typical Politician for Japan’s “Village Society”

Prime minister Noda’s subconscious told us on August 30th that he is promoting tax raises to please the bureaucrats he needs to help him do his job, and that he has both hands full just trying to figure out how his party can last through the entire 4 year term. He has no vision how to guide the Japanese economy towards growth, and no sense of responsibility for the country’s future.  As a prime minister he is helpless. But it is exactly because he is such a consensus oriented politician that he was able to make it to the top at all. This is the reality in present day Japan’s political “village society”.

In Part 2 of this interview, prime minister Noda’s guardian spirit talks about his past and his professional history. This should reveal in more concrete terms how his past experiences have shaped and set a limit to the way he thinks today.
