Shinzo Abe has resigned somewhat unexpectedly.
It will be interesting to see who takes over and then assess why Abe was pushed out (unceremoniously).
The stated reason was due to Abe's health issues but there is little to indicate that the Ulcerative colitis he has always had was any worse or more seriously impacting his health.
The new Prime Minister will be an interesting indication of how much power the ultra-conservative (right wing) factions of the LDP have assumed control.
