Political Scene

Since I changed the title of this blog, I like to make a brief review of the recent political scene in Japan.

All of the actions being taken recently by politicians are taken under the pressure of the coming August's election for the Upper House.

Last Summer, Democratic Party won the historical victory in the Lower House election, and the support ratio for new prime mister raised more than 80%. And Liberty and Decmoractic party lost its upper hand. The only way to revive themselves is to putting a new leader who could appeal to wide range of constituents all over the nations. Then Tanigaki became their leader because they could get strong supports from old tycoons of LDP.
