Chapter 5: Japan

          Japans government resembles that of several British governments but does not necessarily function like one. Japan also has a monarchy but it is only seen as divine with little to no political influence. Someone with little power is the prime minister himself.The prime minister is appointed by the Emperor of Japan once he has been selected by the Diet and can only remain in office as long as  members of the House of Representatives are satisfied with the prim ministers political standing.For example, the prime minister can make promises with other countries but does not have the power to follow through with anything he may promise. They also lack influence because of their four year term and the fragmentation of the two big Japanese parties. Below is an article that talks about the approval rating of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Cabinet.
