Domestic Politics 2017/18 This chapter summarizes major developments in Japanese domestic politics from September 2017 through to August 2018. During this period, Prime Minister Abe dissolved the Lower House to call a snap election, which led to the third straight LDP victory in the Lower House elections since 2012. This victory, just like the election outcomes in 2012 and 2014, was less the result of high approval ratings than a, yet again, divided opposition. The largest opposition party had split right before the election, with the aim of creating a competitor for the LDP, led by Ms. Koike. This strategy, however, failed to produce the desired results from the perspective of the opposition parties. After introducing this new party landscape, this chapter will also examine some important legislative initiatives and developments in the Kake and Moritomo scandals.
