LDP's Reign

It is seemingly quite noticeable that the Liberal Democratic Party or the LDP is always reigning even though most voters have developed a feeling of opposition and hatred against this political party. Wouldn't it be too obvious that if the people hated the LDP, then the other opposing political parties would have dominated? In this case it is different. Even if the people hated the Liberal Democratic Party, there are factors that makes the LDP reign supreme against the opposition. The seemingly unpopular ruling party makes the competition of party in Japan a failure. Even though the LDP had few supporters, they still manage to dominate the competition. So what accounts for LDP's longevity?

The LDP's key to success was the presence of strong candidates. In addition to that, in Japan the opposition tend to have weak candidates and that the opposition has a weakness in ruling the subnational level and that seems to be their underlying problem. The LDP's success depend not solely on the party but on the candidates that make up the party, which means that the quality of the LDP is greater than that of the opposing parties. Their strong candidates compensate for the bad reputation of the party and that is the reason why the LDP is still standing even though a lot of Japanese voters hate this party.

The challenge is still on and the LDP is still at its reign. It has served the country for decades which is a deciding factor because this has cultivated Japan the way it is right now. They have been growing in a stable manner.

What accounts for LDP's Longevity? It is quite simple. The candidates of LDP make sure that they can achieve all of their goals even though it is simple as constructing a bridge or making a stand against bullying. Their strong candidates make up for the bad reputation of their party and so they have ruled the Japanese political governance for many decades.
