statecraft 2

thailand's revolving passel of prime ministers has a parallel unfolding in japan. or am i the only one who distinctly remembers thaksin and koizumi and can name none of the others after?

the going rate, it appears, is 5 in 4 years.

contrast with one asian republic, currently at 3 in 45, and holding. good politics needs to find a mean somewhere between seasickness and fossilization. some would say good politics is a platonic and epicurean pipedream.
