The twin resignations of Yukio Hatoyama and Ichiro Ozawa may look bad for Japan and its Democratic Party (DPJ). But the Financial Times thinks these departures could be a good thing. “The DPJ and Japan’s body politic has been lanced of two festering boils,” leaving both in a “stronger position.” Especially with the right leadership, “something good could yet come out of this political farce.” Moreover, the newspaper is enthusiastic about Naoto Kan’s ability, as a reformer and fiscal conservative, to provide that leadership.
