Mabuchi Sumio

Which ageing gent will be next Prime Minister

These are five candidates from the Democratic Party of Japan, and one of them will become prime minister sometime on Monday.

I guess I am hoping for one of the two on the left. Did you know Mabuchi Sumio (2nd from left) is nicknamed Terminator because of his robotic look? Poor Japan is stuck in a revolving door of prime ministers played out by old daddies and backroom politics. Politically stagnant and not much to look at.
