    The Japanese government is very static. Since 1955 the LDP has ruled almost continually (Lost 1 out of 23 elections) and has very rarely even lost it’s overall majority.

    At the last election there was a big movement for change, and even then the LDP still won, although without a majority. It’s not surprising that people would feel disillusioned with democracy.
