Japan: Ishiba – Una Muerte Bien Prevista.
The fall of Japan’s Prime Minister Ishiba and the election of his successor are unlikely to excite markets. This is because:
- The focus of the new leadership will have to be establishing unity and good governance within the LDP and making it vaguely attractive to voters.
- The process of electing a new LDP leader is distinctly non – revolutionary. It is less about what the candidate stands for and even less about the major issues facing Japan, than about garnering the support of factions and king (queen?)-makers within the LDP.
