Japan elections: Yukio Hatoyama likely to oust Taro Aso
It is believed that Yukio Hatoyama is going to oust PM Taro Aso and establish a new Cabinet within the next few weeks. As voting is underway in Japan today, the ruling LDP is likely to see an end to its almost five decades of undisputed rule.
CURRENT PARLIAMENTARY elections in Japan are being seen as an end to the ruling conservative party's 50 years of power. It is being expected that opposition group is going to win to revive the ailing economy and tackle unemployment.
A general loss of public confidence in the ruling Liberal Democrats for tackling the current tough economic problems and high rate of unemployment, has been witnessed.
"The ruling party has betrayed the people over the past four years, driving the economy to the edge of a cliff, building up more than 6 trillion yen ($64.1 billion) in public debt, wasting money, ruining our social security net and widening the gap between the rich and poor," the Democratic Party said in a statement as voting began on Sunday (August 30), while promising a change for good in Japan.
