| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) suffered a crushing defeat in the August 30th general election to the House of Representatives.This was due to a change in election rules, the decline of LDP's traditional bases of support, and the long-standing internal problems.If the LDP now fails to respond to these changed realities, it will further lose credibility with the Japanese people. |
