| Colleague A: | Have you seen the paper?.... After only eight months at the helm, Hatoyama has stepped down as P.M. |
| Colleague B: | No? Already? |
| Colleague A: | Yes! It’s utterly staggering how this country continues to go through Prime Ministers. It’s no wonder why nothing ever really changes. This country needs continuity so that Prime Ministers can follow through with their election pledges and thus silence those who maintain there’s no point in voting because.... |
| Colleague B: | Then isn’t it ironic that it’s Hatoyama’s reneging on a pre-election promise to move the U.S. airbase out of Okinawa that has brought his own downfall. Spineless! |

| Colleague A: | Anyway, who do you think will be filling Hatoyama’s shoes? |
| Colleague B: | I’ve got no idea, but I just hope that it’s someone not old and decrepit, and with the strength and fortitude to drag this country out of this deep financial hole we’re in. |
