     According to a recent public-opinion poll, support for Noda cabinet has fallen below 50 percent for the first time since the Cabinet was landed on September 2nd. The support rating for Noda's Cabinet has fallen to 47.1 percent, down from 54.6 percent in October. The rating stood at 62.8 percent immediately after the launch. (Nikkei Newspaper on Monday, November 7) Noda cabinet has quite a few problems, such as recovery and reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake, the rebuilding of the Japanese economy, and international matters. TPP can be given as an example. The situation is so sever. The whole nation is divided whether we should join the negotiation or not. Even among the experts and politicians their opinions are divided. I think Prime Minister Noda seriously needs to explain the effects of TPP to the whole nation. If he makes a decision without any explanation, people’s complaint would rise. If so, the Prime Minister might change again!! and everybody would think Japanese Prime Minister changes so much!! I think it would be irresponsive. I hope that Prime Minister Noda explain their vision much more clearly and put the ideas into practice as soon as possible.
