The Japanese prime minister and his cabinet

Article Abstract:

Japanese government, both before and after the 1947 Showa Constitution, has evolved around the fluctuating roles of the prime minister and the cabinet. Since its formation in 1955, the Liberal Democratic Party has provided nearly all prime ministers and many cabinet members, dominating government and politics in a country where statistics consistently show the citizens do not support specific political parties. The Japanese have grown accustom to frequent government changes and choose candidates for prime minister who can form governments.

The looking-glass world of Japanese politics

Article Abstract:

Japan's political system has been plagued by turmoil in recent years and may not be improving. Ichiro Ozawa, a member of parliament in the monopolistic Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), led an opposition against the party for its corruption and lack of concern for policy. Since then, a number of other political parties have risen and fallen. Most have been tainted with corruption. Ozawa may have abandoned his concern for policies in lieu of political survival.
