Japanese politics is very interesting. In Japan, the political spectrum is very different and doesn't fit the American right-left spectrum. I believe they are actually very democratic, but the problem has been that ever since WWII, politics have been a sensitive issue. The Japanese usually dislike things like politics because it brings people into the spotlight. One of the LDP ministers actually comitted suicide! Here, an American politician would defend oneself, but in Japan there is a strong fear of being publicly humiliated.
I've been interested in the Green politics of Japan. I read that they are actually sided with right-wing Buddhist groups that support conservation.
