At first glance, the December 14, 2014, Japanese General Election was as dull and meaningless as any in Japanese history. From the moment the election was called, there was no doubt that the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), along with its coalition partner Komeito, would easily win the poll. The campaign itself scarcely raised significant policy discussion or debate. Voter turnout reached an all-time low (52.7%) for Japanese House of Representatives (HR) elections. And the overall final results looked awfully similar to the 2012 General Election, in which the ruling coalition won roughly two-thirds of all seats. |
