Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (Shinzo Abe) in the election of the ruling coalition won a decisive victory on Sunday - so large, there is suspicion that he will lose interest in the tough economic reforms and pursue his nationalist agenda instead.
In the upper house of parliament voted for Abe's victory for his prescription to revive the stalled economy more robust mandate. Coincidentally, it can also give lawmakers in his own party, some of whom no appetite painful but essential reforms, more influence, in order to resist change.
Public broadcaster NHK said that early Zhou Yian Abe's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its coalition partner New Komeito, the competition for 121 seats in the 242 seats in the Senate has won 76.
With the Union undisputed 59 seats to ensure the comfort of the majority, Abe tightening grip on power and improved reformist Junichiro Koizumi's rare five-year term in 2006 for the first time since the end of a long Japanese leaders opportunities.
It also ended up in the beginning of 2007, Shinzo Abe, then in his first prime minister, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party humiliated Lords defeat, he was forced to resign parliamentary deadlock. LDP majority of their short-term decline in the Sun.
Shinzo Abe, who returned to power after his coalition a December in the lower house poll victory, repeated on Sunday, he will focus on fixing his "Abenomics" combination of ultra-loose monetary policy, fiscal expenditure and one with the world's third largest economy growth strategies, including such as deregulation reforms.
"We believe that our economic policy is not mistaken, the public support given to us, and now people want to feel the benefits of economy really is improving," tired but confident-sounding Shinzo Abe said late Sunday at the LDP headquarters after his ruling coalition's victory was assured.
"We want to do everything we can generate a virtuous circle - in which the improvement of working conditions and wages rise, stimulating personal consumption, encourage enterprises to invest more - as soon as possible," he said.
However, some, including Japanese companies on this issue has a large stake worry hawkish leaders will turn to focus on the conservative agenda, has been his thought.
The agenda includes modifying postwar pacifist constitution, strengthening Japan's defense posture and recast Tokyo's wartime history and a very apologetic tone.
Despite heavy victory, turnout was low intensity Abe's task is diluted. Media reports said the turnout was 52.61% in the last vote in the House of Lords in 2010, voter turnout more than five points below. It may remain continue to focus on economic pressures.
"Three Faces"
Now, many experts suggest that Abe is on economic issues, it is impossible to his back as he tried to strengthen his far disappointing economic reform program. He also faced with the decision whether to continue with a 5% sales tax increase to 8% next year in April, in October 2015 through the double part of a plan designed to control in Japan, massive public debt.
Shinichi Kitaoka, International University of Japan's president, "said:" My understanding is that Abe has three sides: the right-wing Abe, Abe as a pragmatist, Abe's economic reformers. "He has shown the third face now, after the election will try to do the same."
However, Abe is toward security policy changes, marked in a country, a huge shift proud ideals of peace, even as it established a military larger than the United Kingdom.
These changes are expected to re-interpret the Constitution prohibits the exercise of the right to collective self-defense, or assist allies attacked the end of the self-imposed, for example, if an unpredictable ally North Korea launched a missile attack U.S. security United States.
Another is to review defense policy, including consideration of the acquisition of the ability to attack, attack enemy bases around the corner, there is no other choice, and the establishment of a Marine division to protect remote islands, such as those at the core of intense territorial line with China.
Whether he visited Yasukuni war dead, where the Allies convicted as war criminals are still honored Japanese leaders, sensibility, August 15 anniversary of Japan will be how Shinzo Abe proposed wartime history of a sensitive topic clues to defeat in World War II.
Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, the Chinese atrocities in the bitter memories of Japan's past militarism deep, upset, worried that Washington's further wear Tokyo relations with its neighbors have been filled.
"Kitaoka said," The first Abe really want to go (August 15 visit), but I guess he will be avoided.
But he added: "Abe is somewhat unpredictable."
Abe quickly improve relations with China and South Korea, in his 2006-2007 began, but it is unclear whether he will repeat in his second success. This time he has taken a tough especially for Beijing's position.
Relations with China and Japan have been severely strained wartime territorial rows and historical grievances. Disputed islands in the East China Sea near Japan and China Shipbuilding months has been playing cat and mouse game in an unexpected risk issues are simmering conflict.
"In this environment, some of the possible problems," said Michael Green, Japan is headquartered in Washington, Center for Strategic and International Studies Chair. "This is a black swan."
Abe did not abandon his long-term goal, the defeat of Japan, the U.S. occupation forces drafted, never changed, because the amendment to the Constitution of 1947.
Conservatives saw the Constitution only restricts the right of self-defense of Japan, but is responsible for erosion of traditional practices, such as obligations of the state.
Shinzo Abe said on Sunday, the debate needs more to win the public's understanding of constitutional reform. "I want to deepen the debate on the appropriate calm and stability in the case," he said.
Liberal Democratic Party and smaller parties, but also conducive to constitutional amendment failed to get two-thirds majority in the House of Lords. They have such a lower chamber, but requires a two-thirds approval of both houses before the amendment can be taken public referendum - Shinzo Abe has said, upon request relief.
Coalition partner New Komeito is cautious about changing the signature of the Charter's Article IX renounces war, if taken literally, bans remain army.
Sunday's elections also left many wondering about the future of Japan at a competitive two-party democracy. Since its inception in 1998, only to be overthrown in 2009, soared to Japan last year, the opposition Democratic Party suffered the worst drubbing.
