Keiko Itokazu won a victory for one of the Okinawan upper house seats in Japan’s parliamentary elections, Sunday, July 29th. She beat incumbent Junshiro Nishime for the seat. All over Japan, Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) incumbent’s suffered defeat after defeat. This can be seen as a barometer of public sentiment, against the ruling party and especially their leader, Prime Minister Abe. National issues plaguing the LDP include a decades old recession, the LDP’s push to amend the Macarthur inspired, Post WWII Japanese constitution to allow for more ‘offensive’ postures to participate in the global war on terror. To top this off, various scandals continue to surface throughout government, even a number of Abe’s own cabinet ministers have had forced resignations as well as one suicide. |
