Taro Aso has been in bother almost since he became Japan’s prime minister but in 2009, by general agreement, he has passed the point of no return. In an opinion poll in yesterday’s Yomiuri, he registered an approval rating of below 20 per cent (other polls had him sink below that threshold last month.) This, according to the punditerati, is unrecoverable. In Japanese political terms Mr Aso is Captain Scott, sitting in his snowbound tent, waiting for the blizzard to overwhelm him. He is not even a Lame Duck; he is an Undead Duck. The mirrors in the Prime Minister’s Residence don’t reflect him anymore; at official banquets, the whiff of garlic sends him gibbering from the room.
