The result is without appeal. The 103 million Japanese voters were widely used, yesterday, the centrists of the Japanese Democratic Party (DPJ) crediting of 298 to 329 seats (provisional results) on a total of 480. It is with the score of 2005, where the DPJ had 112 seats. With or without absolute majority, the centrists have promised to form a coalition with the Social Democrats (left) and the new party of the people (nationalist right).
This historic alternation ended in a humiliating way fifty-four years of reign virtually uninterrupted from the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), conservative. In the new Assembly, it does aim between 84 and 131 seats, significantly less than the 334 it had previously. Taro Aso, the current Prime Minister, has already announced that he would leave the Presidency of the party in case of bad result.
Vote sanction
The way is clear for the DPJ. Majority in the Senate since 2007, with the help of two other teams, he has free rein to carry out its policy. For the time being, he has campaigned promising social aid families and the new poor retirees and free schooling. If the message did fly, this overwhelming victory appears equally as votes sanction against the LDP, who voters blame loose the magnitude of the recession, soaring unemployment (5.7) and poor economic record of the past years: widening of inequality, lack of reforms or even Prime Ministers Waltz. This failure of the LDP was largely anticipated by the markets, pointed out at the weekend a banker. Now they wait to learn more about monetary policy, or the management of foreign reserves by the new Government. For the sake of efficiency, the DPJ must now appoint a small team to manage the transition smooth and some urgent issues.
Pittsburgh g-20 and budget
The schedule is tight. As soon as the new Parliament formed, the members will elect, mid-September, the new Prime Minister. Constitutionally, the position is the President of the majority political party. Just installed, Yukio Hatoyama will fly to the United States for a baptism of fire with the General Assembly of the United Nations and especially the Pittsburgh g-20. This use of the imposed time will give the opportunity to speak with Barack Obama. The new strong man of the Japan, while wanting to take some distance with Washington, does not call into question the security agreement that binds the two States.
At the same time, Yukio Hatoyama will soon tackle the first version of the 2010-2011 budget, the project should theoretically be examined in December by the Council of Ministers. Initially, the Ministers had more than a few days to submit their letters of framing to the Minister of finance. However, if it wants to stick to his campaign promises, the new Prime Minister will have to review copies to cut unnecessary deemed expenditures. In this, he may be assisted by the Office of national strategy (OBS), another campaign promise. This close guard is supposed to allow, a more strict control of the bureaucrats, the development of a more political than clientéliste budget proposal.
