    There are two big parties and four smaller parties represented in the (current) National Assembly, but the Democratic Party has a majority by itself. The current President belongs to the other big party (People’s Power).

      People’s Power? If that isn’t one of the most commie names I’ve ever heard for a political party.

          I was like “wow so futuristic” when I first learned that the monopoly on Japanese government is through the Liberal Democratic Party. Lmao when I found out the rest of the story.

            “Liberal Democratic Party”, rules for decades uninterrupted, representing the largest capitalist families and the USA and cracks down and any leftists sentiment, sometimes extremely violently. Cool! Cyberpunk!
