Abe's cabinet likely to be long on loyalty, short on reform

Incoming Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s cabinet looks likely to be heavy on close allies, with a few party rivals added to fend off criticism of cronyism, but few see signs that the line-up will produce creative reform policies.

Abe, who will be voted in as prime minister on Wednesday following his conservative Liberal Democratic Party’s (LDP) sweeping election win, has made clear his top priority is to slay deflation with a huge dose of monetary easing and spending.
