Japan's Current Political Situation And Prospects For the LDP

With the Upper House elections about six months away, and with the Democratic Party of Japan's popularity falling, the LDP is about to enter campaign mode. One of the party's more popular politicians, former Health, Welfare, and Labor Minister Yoichi Masuzoe, who won acclaim as a knowledgeable, tough reformer when he was minister, is reportedly considering breaking away to form a new party.

Join FCCJ as Masuzoe offers his thoughts on the current political situation and what the prospects are for a major victory by the opposition parties later this year.
