The shortest serving Australian Prime Minister Frank Forde was only in the job for six days. If he can be counted for that short a period then it is not unreasonable for the interims in Japan to be counted as well.--[[User:The Shadow Treasurer|The Shadow Treasurer]] 29 June 2005 23:23 (UTC)
 
:This article aims to present a comprehensive list of Japanese Prime Ministers. It makes sense to include who acted as interim prime minister during gaps between cabinets. However, an ''acting'' prime minister is not a prime minister. The first column shows the number of the cabinet, the second the number of the individual.
 
:Also, history books, academic papers and official Japanese government material all use the currently used numbering for as far as I can tell, they call Koizumi Junichirō the 87th prime minister, not the 95th. [[User:JeroenHoek|JeroenHoek]] 30 June 2005 11:56 (UTC)
