Japan PM pushed to resign For lack Of leadership ON Earthquake and Tsunami: Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan is being pushed by senior members of his party to step down after the passage of a second extra budget for the current fiscal year, which ends in March 2012, according to the Kyodo News agency and public broadcaster NHK.
No clear successor has pulled away from a pack of potential replacements, though the Japanese media have focused on Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda, a fiscal expert who shares many of Kan's policies.

Kan's resignation would be an embarrassment to his ruling Democratic Party of Japan, but his rivals in the party apparently believe it would be better off without him at the helm.

Kan has been under increasing pressure to resign because of his perceived lack of leadership following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated the country's northern coastline and left about 23,000 people dead or missing.

Damage is estimated at $300 billion, making it the most expensive natural disaster in history.
