Otherwise, why did they leave the comfort of the DPJ, choosing Ozawa as their new party leader by acclamation?<br /><br />As for other DPJ defectors, they could go either way. As you note, the prospect of an immediate election likely terrifies them.<br /><br />As for the LDP voting as one on an LF-sponsored no confidence motion, I do not think that Tanigaki has the capacity to pull it off. At one point one of the demands of the LDP before it would come to the table on the consumption tax was the DPJ's repudiating Ozawa.

Can one be sure that all DPJ defectors / LF party members will vote for a non-confidence motion coming from the LDP? I can imagine that (at least some of) those lower house members would prefer to postpone the possibility of an election as much as possible, both to be better prepared and organised and, well, it is nice income after all.<br /><br />And nice to see Noda finally review his position on the Osprey issue, even if it sounds more lip service than a serious change, so far.Philippenoreply@blogger.com
