Kishida's problem is that he isn't a leader, it really is as simple as that. He says nice things but doesn't do anything. Great way to handle diplomacy (Kishida was once Japan's Foreign Minister), not so much leading an entire country. He doesn't put the leader in leadership. That's why his politics have been stagnant, it's a leaderless ship. The recent LDP financial scandals merely finally broke the back of a camel who was already suffering arthritis. None of this is to say the LDP will lose governmental power, though. The opposition parties are somehow even worse.
