June 9 (Bloomberg) -- Alastair Newton, a senior political analyst at Nomura International Plc, talks with Bloomberg's Susan Li about Japanese politics and Prime Minister Naoto Kan's cabinet.
     Kan is the fifth premier in four years and second since his Democratic Party of Japan overturned five decades of mostly one-party rule last August. He retained 11 Cabinet members from predecessor Yukio Hatoyama's administration as he sought to demonstrate stability before mid-term elections in July that are a referendum on the DPJ's nine months in power.(Source: Bloomberg)
