Japan Lower House election - Dec 14, 2014

[Nichlemn]

That any potential opposition has utterly collapsed in on itself and regularly scores below 10% in the polls?

That said, pretty much all of Abe's remaining agenda - raising the consumption tax, restarting the nuclear plants, the TPP and remilitarisation - remain dreadfully unpopular; so by all rights Abe should be underwater.

He just about is. Interesting that "No Party" has frequently been the plurality winner in the polls, although as you say the opposition is basically non-existent.
