Description
MORIHIRO HOSOKAWA'S JULY 1993 lower house election was a benchmark in Japan's political history, signaling the interruption of 38 years of single party rule by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Hosokawa headed seven parties and a parliamentary group, creating a non-LDP coalition, in a drastic move for political realignment. The creation of this coalition was the result of several factions of the LDP breaking away from the main party to establish their own parties--Hosokawa's Japan New Party (JNP), the Japan Renewal Party (JRP), and the Harbinger Party (also called New Party Sakigake)--in addition to the Japan Social Democratic Party (JSP). While the LDP has returned to power this year, the Japanese voters' cold-shouldering of the LDP in 1993 was an unprecedented expression of dissatisfaction with the party. Several explanations have been offered for the breakup of the LDP power base, including internal factional struggles and the lackluster leadership of Kiichi Miyazawa, the LDP Prime Minister who preceded Hosokawa. In addition, public mistrust of politicians in the wake of corruption and numerous political scandals has deepened, while political and financial system fatigue accumulated through a long period of unbroken single party rule has set in.
