It need not be that way again The general election on December 16th witnessed one of the biggest landslides in the history of modern Japan. The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), with its New Komeito ally, has swept to power with control of 325 of the 480 seats in the lower house of the Diet. After years of gridlock and drift, during which Japan has stumbled from one recession to the next, a government now suddenly has the chance to lead. That ought to come as a relief. Instead, there are groans, and a sense of foreboding. The LDP that has returned to power is the very same outfit--cynical, chauvinist, in parts corrupt and beholden to special interests--that was deservedly kicked out of office in 2009. It won not because it was wildly popular--indeed, it got only a slightly bigger share of the popular vote than during its thumping defeat of 2009 by the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ)--but because the DPJ imploded. Its tally of seats in the lower house has dropped from 230 to 57. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
