Lawmakers want Junichiro Koizumi back in the office of Prime Minister.

LDP Secretary General Hidenao Nakagawa asked Koizumi to consider retaking the post.

A former state minister for science and technology, and other relatively junior party colleagues collected signatures from 31 such party members asking Koizumi to run for the party's presidential race.

The public still supports Koizumi even though he has been out of office for morekoizumi.back.jpg than a year.

"Opinion polls show Koizumi is seen as one of the most appropriate candidates for the next prime minister."

Two problems…China doesn't want him back unless he stays away from the Yasukuni Shrine.

Koizumi doesn't want the job.

What do you think?
