	Japan general election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japan held a nationwide election to the House of Representatives, the more powerful lower house of the National Diet, on 11 September 2005, about two years before the end of the term taken from the last election in 2003.
		In the previous lower-house election (2003) and upper-house election (2004), the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) had performed handsomely, while the LDP was barely able to keep its majorities with a reduced number of seats despite the popularity of Koizumi.
		Election analysts ascribed the poor performance of the LDP to Koizumi's reforms that have eroded its traditional supporters such as farmers, "Mom-Pop" shop owners and construction workers, because the reforms, including deregulation and tax cuts, were tuned to help big global corporations like Toyota.

		Poll data collected early in the election season and in exit polls highlight the role of swing voters, who accounted for 18% of the total vote.

		Although the LDP failed to secure a simple majority, on November 19, the Diet appointed Junichiro Koizumi the Prime Minister in its short special session [1] and, within a month, the LDP regained a majority by absorbing the Conservative Party.

	Japan’s first presidential election Andrew Stevens - openDemocracy
		Japan’s decisive 2005 general election is proving no different, with the spectacular win of Junichiro Koiziumi being presented as the triumph of a samurai warrior.
		Japan’s 2005 election was an event of sophisticated stage-management, with Koizumi using the snap poll to present himself as the only leader capable of making the necessary break with the past to dynamise the nation’s sluggish economy.
		The election may also suggest that the health of Japanese democracy is vulnerable to the media-savvy use of glamorous women chosen to front an electoral machine designed to preserve in power an ossified collection of elderly males and their factional interests.

		For years, party bosses were able to impose strict discipline on their faction members because they controlled vast funds, which they allocated to members’ costly election campaigns, and because cabinet and party posts were distributed according to the faction leaders’ recommendations.
		The other is the introduction of public subsidies for parties; within the LDP these funds are under the control of the party’s central governing apparatus, which has thus taken over from the factions as the main source of campaign funds.
		An election issue of particular interest among the electorate was that of pension reform.

		The Koizumi government of Japan and its would-be twin same-policy "opponent", the merged Democratic-Liberal party, both obeying the Bush administration's demand to join Bush's war to rule the world, face determined opposition in Japan's general election this coming Sunday, November 9.
		Japan's course for the 21st century hinges on the outcome of this election.
		Japan's mass media feature this election as if it were a "choice of political power" and a "manifesto election." However, a glance at reality tells us that there is no LDP-DPJ "showdown," especially with regard to issues of the consumption tax increase and a constitutional revision.

		Lower House elections were held in June last year, and no election need be held until the summer of 2003, but the prime minister has the right to dissolve the chamber at anytime.
		The public opinion polls suggested a July general election may be a political gamble for Koizumi, showing that voters appeared to be sceptical of his ability to carry out reforms.

	Walker's World: The Issue Japan Ducked
		The funny thing about the Japanese election result was that by far the most important single issue of policy, and the one with the weightiest implications for the United States and the world, barely made any waves in the campaign.
		In February, Japan for the first time declared that it shared "a common security concern" with the United States over stability in the Taiwan Straits, and also called jointly with the United States for more transparency in China's military planning, provoking an angry retort from China's foreign ministry.
		Koizumi's decision to tighten Japan's strategic alliance with the United States and to block Chinese ambitions is the most important shift in Japanese foreign policy for a generation - but it played little part in the election.
