Japanese Government by Yukitaka Takeuchi

Yukitaka Takeuchi


The new government of the Democratic party of Japan started in this month. We know that Liberal Democratic party was into power until now. And they were defeated on the general election overwhelmingly. But why? So, I consider the question why did the Democratic party of Japan win a great victory. Political power was weld by the Liberal Democratic party for a long time, but their policy was very abstract. Because they didn’t make public political views. People didn’t know that what the Japanese government was. I think this problem was connected to young people’s disinterest in Japanese politics. Lately, Japanese prime minister changes one after another. Because their policy couldn’t obtain good result. For example, some common people were taken away by North Korea. This serious problem was pointed out about twenty years ago. The families of missing insisted that Japanese government help kidnapped relatives. But the government couldn’t make effective use of diplomatic relations. People feel disappointed by the Liberal Democratic party. So, the Democratic party of Japan won a great victory on this election. But I think people don’t expect the Democratic party to improve dwindles. They just hated the Liberal Democratic party’s policy. I think people hope a reform of politics.
