Yet since the start of the year, two men with wildly different personalities, political styles and power bases have launched daring projects that they hope will help shake Japan out of its long economic funk. They may end up colliding with each other. The first is the prime minister, Yoshihiko Noda. At the opening of the Diet, or parliament, on January 24th, he said he would present a bill by the end of March that aims to double the consumption tax, to 10%. Meanwhile, a different vision of government--leaner, less inclined to tax, and less obsessed with regulation--is appearing far from the political center. In the industrial city of Osaka, a political movement is emerging, led by Toru Hashimoto, the new mayor. He draws support from those frustrated by the quagmire of mainstream politics. Osaka is Japan's second-biggest city, with a huge industrial hinterland. Its people are known for business acumen and an earthy frankness. Mr Noda and Mr Hashimoto embody very different political styles. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
