Now japan is about to get a new Prime Minister a parliamentary vote is currently taking place to confirm yoshida saga hes a long time ally of former Prime Minister shinzo abi who resigned due to ill house has been chosen to lead the Ruling Liberal Democratic Party and is expected to win the vote in Parliament Given the ruling partys Strong Majority there lets bring in rob mcbride in seoul for us so rob this is all happening now we are expecting a change in Prime Minister can we expect much of a change show in the direction of japans government policies. Thats right this session has just begun fact we understand the voting is now underway in the diet the Japanese Parliament we are of course going to get a change in the name on the door but not that much of a change in policy suger is very much known as the continuity Prime Minister almost an interim this Current Administration had one year more year to run shinzo are they as we know retired are these citing ill health but sudar job as his right hand man is ready to Carry Forward to these conservative policies especially when it comes to Economic Policy and really to be a steady hand on the tiller before announcing new elections just as we are not expecting too much of a change in government policy probably we also wont get too much of a change in the way japanese politics works especially behind the scenes the ruling a liberal Democratic Party has this system of factionalism basically a number of groups and caucuses within the l. D. P. Compete with each other or collaborate to decide whos going to be Prime Minister what the makeup of the cabinet is going to be and so on interestingly he has said that he doesnt really go along with this system hes made a point of not aligning himself with any particular group or faction has said that its bad for the party having said that he has been elected to president of the party by 5 out of the 7 main factions and one of his 1st actions after being elected was then to choose somebody from each of those 5 factions and make them a Senior Executive within the l. D. P. Party so for somebody who says they dont condone the system they certainly seem to be playing the factional system pretty well his next major task of course will be to choose his cabinet and we already know from various reporting of various leaks from japan that basically his cabinet will be pretty much that. Is so very much carrying forward base policies so the status quo remains compared to his predecessor so that comes from a different background. It is interesting that the japanese politics tends to be dominated by these political dynasties our bay was from a one of those political dynasties and you have to go back number of decades before you find you know a Prime Minister of the people and again thats one of supers claims to fame that unlike his like are there many of his previous ss he comes from a very ordinary background an agricultural background in fact his father was a strawberry farmer so that he has his claim to fame having said that there is a lot of concern just about this every man kind of status that he has about being a behind the scenes person he is known as being something of a grey apparatchik people here in this part of the world in japan and in northeast asia they very much know sukar because he has the chief cabinet secretary would give these twice daily briefings basically being the face of the japanese government and they were renowned for being really cheerless affairs he is not one for which he ripostes with reporters he tends to stick to scripted statements and so on so while he is seen as being very good behind the scenes operator very good at dealing with crisis of Crisis Management in japan has certainly of those right now there are certain questions about just how he lacks the certain amount of charisma how he will do on the International Stage for example dealing with china dealing with south korea with whom they have very difficult relations and also of course with the United States one of those claims to fame one of his legacies is that of all the World Leaders are they was one of the very few who managed to maintain a steady fai
