On September 26th the opposition Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) chose Shinzo Abe, a nationalist former prime minister, to lead it into the next general election, even though he quit as leader after just a year in 2007 because of political failure and a stress-induced bowel illness. The election of Mr Abe, 58, came as a shock, not least to the LDP's own rank and file who were hoping it had a good shot of returning to power within a few months. Their favourite, Shigeru Ishiba, won the most votes, though not a majority, in the first round. Second-round voting was reserved only for LDP members of the Diet (parliament), who ignored the grass roots. Mr Abe will reportedly choose Mr Ishiba, a fellow hawk, as his deputy. Mr Abe's 12 months as prime minister in 2006-07 were marked by government ineptitude, scandal and a needless distraction over his views about the women of neighboring countries forced to serve as sex slaves to the Japanese army during the second world war--he claimed the practice never existed.
