Looks like DIY is going to run a lot of candidates in the likely upcoming Lower House elections. The main goal of course is to push up the DIY PR vote. This will cost a lot of money since most of them will lose their deposits. Where is DIY getting its money? JCP can afford to do this from the revenue from the sale of the JCP newspaper subscriptions but DIY has nothing like that.
I would assume their wealthy backers and membership fees.
How and who does each party get donations from? Are all the zaibatsus for the LDP?
Parties receive state subsidies if they win at least 2% in the national vote share. JCP refuses the subsidies out of principle but they're loaded anyway.
Besides this…
CDP and DPP are bankrolled by the unions. LDP has deep ties with the business federations and the construction lobby. Komeito is the political arm of Soka Gakkai and pretty much gets all their funding from them. JRP are supported by Kansai based businesses. Only RS and DIY are reliant on donations by their membership.
