	NEW KOMEITO / About Us / History
		The party stood firm against sneers and criticism from established parties that "only amateur parties advocate welfare" and "welfare is not politics." Japanese politics had remained within the framework of the so-called "1955 Regime" for a long time.
		On December 10, 1994, the New Frontier Party was established to meet public demand expectations by returning to politics based on "reforms." The new party held up "ceaseless reforms and the realization of responsible politics" as its ideals.
		New Komeito was officially launched when former New Peace Party members joined Komei members at the new party's inaugural national convention held on the afternoon of the same day.
