Well, at least SOME world leaders will resign when they know they've @#$!'d up.

Is it just me or was that quick? IIRC he came into office while I was in Germany last year, but maybe I'm wrong.

By the way I am not saying he should stay longer, I haven't payed too much attention to his work as PM and if he truly has screwed up it's definitely good that he's on his way out.

Mr Abe also struggled to contend with a series of ministerial gaffes and resignations.
His health minister drew criticism in January when he referred to women as "birth-giving machines"

LOL.

I have little concept of the Japanese prime ministers actual tenure, and if he has actually done something incorrect, then good for him.
