Thursday was a day to rejoice and relax for Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan after he survived a no-confidence vote in the Parliament. It didn't come easily though. The Prime Minister faced a lot of criticisms from the public as well as form within his party and the opposition about his government's ineffective handling of the nuclear crisis. He was also accused of his indecisive response to one of the country's deadliest disaster. In the midst of mounting pressure, the Prime Minister promised to step down once his government makes some progress in overcoming the crisis. If he resigns from the office, he will be the sixth prime minister to resign within the last five years.
