However, I end up agreeing with MTC that while it is unlikely that anything will teach the LDP to be "loyal" (either opposition or majority), it seems the only serious way forward for Japan is some sort of coalition. Moreover, I would add that this is a particularly critical stage for Japan. The question of nuclear power plants is critical. The rebuilding of what was a dying sector of the economy in the tsunami effected areas, and indeed, the inability of the government to deal with radiation (even basic testing) are also critical issues, not being dealt with effectively (or even at all).John Mocknoreply@blogger.com
