Does a woman will assume the leadership of Japan?

As is known, the Japanese women are excluded from assuming the imperial throne, albeit Be the descendants of the royal family. So they have found an alternative to assume ministerial positions, but they are even in this area have faced difficulties and obstacles, and it was for them to struggle against the opposition masculine severe that began those obstacles one fall after another because of the change of ideas and time change and the emergence of a layer of young politicians in leadership positions.

Therefore, Japan has witnessed, especially in the era offormer reformist Prime Minister «Junichiro Koizumi», the entry of more women in his government, as Tozer first woman to lead the Japanese diplomatic They «Makiko Tanaka» left by her colleague «Yoriko Kawaguchi» in 2002. Today , There are in Japan two women Shahyrtan at two informal blend of both: defense minister in the government of current Prime Minister «Shinzo Abe», andformer Minister of defense «Yuriko Koike» recently elected as the first mayor offemale to Tokyo.
but the appointed women Japan today it is pointed at the top job in the country a prime minister. Is Japan finally will join the list of Asian countries that are governed or ruled by women?

The answer will be decided by the outcome of the next general elections scheduled for next year. As long as the «democratic» Party, which represents major in the country, the opposition will enter these elections strongly, led by a young lady is «Renault Murata» (48 years), and as long as the latter is the will form a government and its leadership as soon win her party as is the case, we might be in front of a Japanese scene unprecedented, but similar in terms of excitement and strangeness of the scene of «Democratic Party free exit» from power in 2009 for the first time since its inception in 1955, this exodus that description at the time the quake because it came at the hands of a new party obscure is the party «democratic», which was led by then «Yukio Hatoyama», and led today by Ms. «Renault», not to mention that his victory was the number of 308 seats in the House of Representatives consists of 480 seats, compared to 119 seats for the party of free «democratic», who has never out of power before that date but for 11 months between 1993 and 1994.

That many Japanese regard observers, including this writer believes that the chances of «democratic» Party and its leader «Renault» in access to power seem modest for many reasons. The party founder in 1998 does not have a long history in the management of the country, but that his three years in power between 2009 and 2012 saw the confusion in his decisions and policies, and the conflict in the interior corridors, and degeneration of commitments adhered to, with the result that the Japanese voted in the 2012 election for the benefit of leaving power in a landslide, especially as he failed to properly deal with the tsunami and Fukushima reactor in 2011. on the other hand, the «Democratic Party», on the contrary of the party «free Democratic», party scrappy nor collected by a political ideology and a clear and solid, and dominated by bitter differences about relations with the United States and the formation of a large Asian bloc similar to the European Union. So that it is composed of several smaller political formations, the only common denominator they broke away from the party «Liberal Democratic» during the period between 1992 and 1993, noted that the emergence of the party as an opposition president of what was to happen not for the declining popularity of the Japanese Socialist Party, which has been representing the main role of the opposition on over four decades.

To the above, there are factors that could make the Japanese voters, particularly the older generation of conservative hesitate to give his voice for the benefit of Ms. «Renault». The latter is not a Japanese one hundred percent because her father Taiwanese nationality (or in other words from China, which has prickly and tense historical ties with the Japanese). Then she raised considerable controversy prior to her election at the head of her party, due to hide the fact that the enjoyment of citizenship Taiwanese in addition to Japanese citizenship, and failure to renounce a citizenship when she turns twenty-second age as required by Japanese law, and claim that the lack of announcing it is «my memory confused and Me unclear », which added insult to injury! How to be confounded by memory and you want the leadership of a great country like Japan?

Japanese conservatives who are numerous in the counter may not be accepted from eligible voters to be the next leader, a woman who was in the eighties working as a model before becoming a television star Scold to the point of launching the name «Hasateso» (a word that means killing shot) it, because it was hosts the men money and politics in talk shows and assassinated mined in their curricula and their work and their private lives.
