Credit: Reuters/Kim Kyung-Hoon By Linda Sieg and Yoko Nishikawa TOKYO | Thu Jun 2, 2011 9:53pm EDT TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's fractious ruling party resumed its bickering on Friday after Prime Minister Naoto Kan hinted he wanted to keep his job into the new year, angering rivals who had voted down a no-confidence motion in return for a promise he'd quit. The squabbling will likely further hamper efforts by Kan, who took office a year ago as Japan's fifth premier in as many years, to tackle steps needed to rein in massive public debt while engineering growth in the fast-aging country. Kan survived the no-confidence motion on Thursday after a last-minute offer to resign persuaded party critics not to defect and drive him from office even as the country struggles with the world's worst nuclear crisis in 25 years. The maneuver appeared to buy Kan time to prepare an extra budget to pay for rebuilding from the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami that triggered the crisis at Tokyo Electric Power Co's Fukushima Daichi plant. But bickering quickly resurfaced after Kan's comments at a late-night news conference suggested he wanted to stay on until damaged reactors at the crippled nuclear atomic plant achieved a stable "cold shutdown," a process expected to take at least until January and probably longer. "If he cannot keep his promise, he is a fraud," Kyodo news agency quoted former minister Yukio Hatoyama, who brokered Thursday's last-minute pact with Kan, as telling reporters. "If he doesn't keep his word, I will take decisive action." Hatoyama told reporters on Thursday that Kan had agreed to quit after drafting the extra budget, a process he said could be finished this month. The main opposition Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has charged that Kan was incapable of dealing with the nuclear accident and of leading the effort to rebuild Japan's tsunami-devastated northeast, also weighed in. "He has broken his promise. It is inappropriate for him to cling to power having expressed his intention to resign," Kyodo quoted LDP president Sadakazu Tanigaki as saying. "We cannot cooperate with a lame-duck government." Opposition parties, which control parliament's upper house and can block bills, have insisted that Kan step down before they will cooperate on implementing policies. Kan's rivals in the DPJ, which swept to power in 2009 for the first time promising change, have been angered by his abrasive style and fear his low voter ratings would hurt them at the next general election, which must be held by 2013. Many are also irked by Kan's shift toward fiscal reform and away from costly campaign promises to spend more on households.

This is not the time to be girls, but a time for male physical leadership to roll-up your sleeves and lead by showing the population that political consenus of all parties will defend its responsiblities to family, society, environment and country. Japan is diely slowly by inaction, misdirection, confusion, shock, selfishness and a lack of shared responsiblity and while this continuing danger grows (Fukushima Dia-ichi) with new questions arising daily over the solutions, and those responsible for stability.
