The NY Times has another interesting report out of Japan. The LDP is losing its grip on the countryside. That is a particular problem, because the party depends on the countryside for its power. Much of the factors that knit Japan together during the post-war era seem to be unraveling.
Of course, the Democratic Party of Japan, while an opposition party, has never governed. One will question whether they will have success in that endeavor. Japan must make some major structural changes not only economically, but politically as well.
I do not claim any expertise in this area, but I watch this matter with fascination.
