What is your opinion on the leadership of prime minister ''naoto kan''after his fukushima mishandling ?

Question:




Answer:


Could be better, could be worse-Here's the thing, the culture of TEPCO was established under all the years of LDP goverments. Amakudari, bid-rigging, fake inspections, these were all practices tolerated/encouraged by the LDP that turned Fukushima #1 into a disaster in waiting. Thus the events at Fukushima #1 do not necessarily reflect upon Mr. Kan. There was no way to unmake an omlette in the short time that Mr. Kan has been in power in terms of the cozy relationships between regulators and regulated. It is not that I am such a big fan of the DPJ-it is just that the LDP just hasn't changed its stripes yet, and the voters of Japan tend to realize that. Therefore I expect Mr. Kan to remain PM for a while yet, and I do not understand why the LDP rejected his offer of a unity cabinet-if they have the best interests of Japan at heart. I have to concur with the other answer in terms of what exactly do you mean by mishandling? Crises management is just that-it's never going to be nice and neat.
