How different Japanese and British people feel their responsibility?
Through the arguments about Brexit, I feel some differences about the definition of responsibility between UK and Japan.
Japanese people basically think PM as a responsible and strong leader because she never give up to persuade the PMs and EU. Additionally, she is still facing so many different headwind and difficulties however she doesn't seem to resign her role.
Her attitude seems to be very responsible for Japanese people because Japanese typical leaders easily resign their roles if some troubles happen.
On the other hand, British people think she clings to PM role. It's definitely apparent there has been no progress in Brexit conversation for these three years. With 36 months, the only thing we have decided is just to extend the deadline. My British friend said "She should have resigned much earlier. She could neither bring good Brexit deal and persuade the MPs. The responsibility of PM should be executing this deal within a certain limited project period. I don't think she has a clear plan and have any idea where to compromise. The one thing I feel confident about British politics is it's very transparent now. It seems to be chaotic situation for people and actually very chaotic disaster."
So I think there is a critical difference between UK and JP about what the responsibility is.
Japanese tend to think responsibility is to finish or complete something without giving up. And it's not necessarily based on the results. However British people think the responsibility should be evaluated by the result. And staying in the position without any results means a kind of lack of responsibility.

1-The pronoun "she" is usually used with a third-person or a past tense verb: "gives", "gave".
2-"The word "it's" is always short for "it is" (as in it's raining), or in informal speech, for "it has" (as an it's got six legs).The word its means "belonging to it" (as in hold its head still while I jump on its back). It is a possessive pronoum like his". It's (possessive pronoun) instead of "it's" (short form of "it is").

Ruslan Let's be honest, they are no longer a great empire, they just do not see the reality.

Japan also does not belong to such a community, and does not have to answer to this community or decide: free entry and exit without visa and passport of citizens, cheaper trade (exports / imports), etc. They want the good things, they ask for everything because they do not accept the conditions of Brussels! But yes, I think if it was in another European country the situation was already resolved, we say that they look like children and never decide. They do not know what they want.

Anyway, it's only my opinion and I'm in no case an expert. And the complexity of the political and social life goes far beyond my poor explanation.😁

I'm not British myself, nor have I ever lived in Britain, but as I see it, people in the West (especially anglo-saxons) are result driven. And a lack of such, according to their point of view equals incompetence.
But that is just ordinary british people. They all believe that their country is very powerful and influential. So they can't understand, how such a powerful country can't solve such a tiny and simple issue. Logically, it's a fault of people, solving this issue.
We must also take into consideration, that recently populist parties have spread all over Europe. Their program and promises are simple. They promise to solve all the problems in one second, making all the problems sound simple in their speeches. So, more and more people tend to beleive that social and political problems are quite simple or at least simpler than the official government says they are.
Clever people, of course, understand the complexity of the issue. But there are too few of them.
