August 30, 2009 : Election in Japan
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2009 3:38 am
Okay, so the results aren't in, but I just wanted to let everyone out there know that Japan is voting right now.
After World War II ended, and Japan was forced to accept the conditions given by America dealing with surrender, a new government was formed. That government has been continuing in Japan for 53 of the last 54 years.
And today, August 30, 2009, it looks like it will change. The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) will most likely be replaced by the Democratic Party of Japan, (DPJ). The LDP has 53 years of experience, so will the DPJ be able to face up to the mountainous task ahead of them? Time will tell...
Anyway, pretty much this election, today will change the course of Japanese History. It will be an election remembered in history books and on the back of quarte...10 yen coins. I hope they don't try to kick out all foreigners to "give jobs back to the Japanese," that would hurt me...>.< lol (they won't.)
But seriously, it's the biggest political event in Japan in the past 54 years since the end of World War 2, and I'm surprised there's been no other posts about it yet....O_o.
