Yeah it's why I hate politics and most politicians in general. It's like corruption goes hand in hand with politics. The problem with the corruption/innefectiveness/unreliability in the Japanese government, is that it's bad enough for the people to scoff at it, but not bad enough to spur much reform. Which probably ties into culture a bit.

As a Japanese, I always thought that Koizumi was good all along, he just had bad foreign relation skills.

Seconded. And his popularity still seems to remain fairly high.
