TOKYO: Much has been said about the kind of politics we have. With every administration, a political reform is introduced in order to change the rules of the game and get new blood into the arena. Campaign finance, political party reforms are just but the few attempts to wrestle with the demons of a system that has neglected the ground and has catered only to those who can game and beat the system with money. Much remains considering the previous administration never passed a single legislation on political reforms, what can you expect from a leader who never respected Congress? No law to talk about and transactional politics was the way to go.
