  1. Thanks for this post. It is truly newsworthy that the LDP has finally fallen out of the lead politically in Japan. The DJP has attracted a large number of Japanese votes through its more liberal ideas--more focus on economic restructuring, governmental transparency, small-business or individual aid, etc. It will be interesting to see how well the party adapts to its new position of power and how well it can make some of these priorities come true.
    I watched a well-made summary video on all of this earlier today at newsy.com. The video highlights several different opinions from various news sources and is worth watching if you have a few minutes:
