From Your Quora Digest
Extract::
Because the Japanese political establishment is highly hereditary . Most politicians are the sons / daughters / in-laws of another one who ran almost entirely on their former generation's political capital. This is especially true at the upper end of the echelon .
For example, Shinzo Abe's mother is the daughter of Nobusuke Kishi , who was a minister in charge of munitions for WW2 in the infamous Tojo cabinet. and was later charged with war crime and jailed for a short period. even on his father's side he's a 3rd generation politician
His deputy Tar As somehow manage to have an even more prestigious political background , being a direct decedent of kubo Toshimichi , often hailed as one of the founders of Meiji Japan. and every generation from Toshimichi to Aso have been in politics.
It doesn't take a political scientist to tell you that for a environment where most of the political big shots are a nearly unbroken feudal family streaming right from Meiji era (and some even earlier. ) the difficulty of said people coming out to condemn their ancestors whom their entire system is built around is more than a little difficult.
