Question from the readers:
How competent do you think Shigeru Ishiba is compared to past Prime Ministers?
Evaluation of Shigeru Ishiba as Prime Minister
Recently, I’ve heard discussions about Shigeru Ishiba. When the question arose regarding how competent he is among past Prime Ministers, I honestly found it challenging to respond quickly. Considering his career as a politician, his campaign promises, and
the actual results he has achieved, evaluating him is not straightforward.
Gap Between Promises and Reality
As noted in the readers’ comments, campaign promises are a crucial element in attracting voters during elections. However, it’s often challenging to fulfill those promises in the political arena. In Ishiba’s case, many of his promises are idealistic, making them difficult to realize. Politicians face numerous stakeholders and may need to compromise at times. Consequently, the ideals presented during elections often fail to materialize in reality. Working at a judicial scrivener’s office, I deeply feel the importance of “trust” and “integrity” in daily operations. Without a trusting relationship with clients, business cannot proceed smoothly. I believe Ishiba must first demonstrate a commitment to fulfilling his campaign promises to gain the trust of voters in elections.
Historical Context and Future Expectations
Whether Ishiba’s name will be remembered in the future depends on the achievements he can accomplish. Issues like the Northern Territories and the Senkaku Islands are very delicate matters. Statements that imply acceptance of changes to the status quo through force could risk losing international trust. Therefore, careful judgment is essential for him. Regarding support for Ukraine, collaboration with the international community is crucial. The way he develops his foreign policy could significantly affect his evaluation. It will be intriguing to see if he can tackle these challenges.
Conclusion
In the end, it can be said that Shigeru Ishiba has yet to fully demonstrate his true value. I want to keep a close eye on what he can achieve as Prime Minister in the future. We also need to carefully monitor his actions and policies. So, what do you all think? Please share your thoughts about Ishiba or memories of other politicians in the comments. What you feel and think could provide me with new insights as well.
