Yesterday, the ruling Democratic Party of Japan was defeated in the Senate election, the LDP and other opposition parties hold more than half of the seats in the Senate. The results of course must pay attention to, but the results from the birth process, grasp the characteristics of contemporary Japanese politics, the same meaning can not be ignored.

Characteristics of the upper house election in Japan has three factors: weakening of political differences, political divisions widen, becoming populist democracy.

Weakening of political differences. After the Cold War, this characteristic had emerged. Main reason is what led to confrontation between the Soviet Union disappeared, and the substantial growth in the Japanese middle class. This case, the Party and the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan from the narrow policy. In addition, there are institutional reasons, Japan’s parliamentary cabinet system, the Prime Minister by the parliament elected by the members as the Minister, and therefore have a real political decision by the parties valve. Factional interests to seize and keep in close contact with the regime, political differences are as followed.

After the founding of the Democratic Party, for the seizure of power, the LDP has been the policy of the extension and try to distinguish, Hatoyama become prime minister, foreign affairs, stressed that "the United States and Asia balance"; domestic affairs, "the first national life", giving a fresh feel. But this scene is not long, Hatoyama was forced to step down, people in the Democratic Party’s new Prime Minister, Naoto Kan of the Senate campaign, see their policies tend to swing to the Liberal Democratic Party.

In foreign policy, the Democratic Party election platform, although the Senate proposed to China and South Korea and Asian countries to build trust-based relationship, but also stressed that through security, economic and cultural fields, strengthening ties to deepen Japan-US alliance, the Democratic Party also advocates, will work with Australia, South Korea and India to promote defense cooperation, which is associated with the Liberal Democratic Party advocates a "values of alliance." Naoto Kan and even stressed: "China’s military buildup is to be given serious attention to the issue. There is the word called ‘balance of power’" and said: "The situation in Asia is a high degree of tension, the U.S. military is a deterrent." Policy in China , Naoto Kan proposition: to "the Liberal Democratic Party’s consumption tax ‘is tentatively set at 10%’ of the idea as a reference."

Political divisions widen. One consequence of weakening political differences, is the weakening of the cohesion within each party. As a result of multi-party call to seize power, seize political power has done, and there to keep power as a driving force to become the main pursuit of immediate goals, resulting in a more stable party hard basis for cooperation, to bring a clear political speculation of former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro criticism, said: "Congress into political power struggle, fight for the Prime Minister seat in place." considerable political differences between factions, in order to seize power, can be synthesized by one party or coalition; together under the banner on the side of the figure, the same forest birds only, the date of the loss of political power, they flew more each. Due to speculative nature of this political divide, in this Senate campaign, with further performance, resulting in inter-party, cross-party conflicts, politics more complex, competition became more intense and more disordered.

Become more populist democracy. Populism is a complex concept can be used from multiple angles. I use the people from the accommodation and immediate opt to seek the perspective of the interests of political parties to use the concept. Europe and the United States and other countries with different political trust for other reasons, in the "1955 system", the Japanese electorate on the Government’s "performance evaluation" awareness is not strong, but after the Cold War, given the weakening of political differences, voters will look more toward of the Government’s "performance evaluation", thereby promoting more attention to accommodating the various political parties and the immediate use of the public likes to seek political interests. To the focus of Senate campaign – raise taxes as an example, the tendency will be reflected in Seeing. Democratic Party opposition, the opposition Liberal Democratic tax increases advocated by the beginning of the budget in power, the first stage in the budget to make bonds more than taxes, financial difficulties even worse. Naoto Kan, said, "If the debt continues to grow and develop into Greece as the financial crisis, national life will be seriously undermined," Hatoyama government had to cancel the original promise of "child-care subsidies," and so on, clearly advocating tax increases. However, this claim come out, almost all small parties oppose the swarm. Japanese media that the prime minister Naoto Kan, the Government was V shaped support has rebounded, but issued a statement after the tax increase, again declined. Thus, the eve of the Senate elections, Naoto Kan also stressed that "the next election, the consumption tax will not rise a dollar."

After the Cold War, due to major changes in domestic and international situation, Japan entered a period of significant changes that need to be. Japan’s industrial innovation, more than ten years efforts to achieve greater progress, but the Senate elections show that the power to change except in Japanese politics, did not materially change. Need of change and transformation of the lag, leading to Japan’s turbulent politics. This instability in the political arena to establish the trend direction and strength before been implemented, it is difficult to stop.
