What's the differences btwn a DPJ or LDP victory means for Japan 2009'?
As posted East Asia Forum Jan 20th 2009' and again from (note date) Nov.2008' -Pls also note Japan faced a decade of recession 1992-2001 'Lost Decade' with finger pointing and blaming US etc., Japan’s LDP and DPF face the future? -East Asia Forum Jan.20/09' "All in all, Mr. Ozawa’s proposals are less ambitious than his rhetoric would suggest. And there’s still no indication of how a DPJ government will pay for the two new deals. Once again, Mr. Ozawa has borrowed a phrase from American political history only to drain it off its evocative power. The New Deal was an ambitious experiment in American governance; it is still unclear how a DPJ government will be a dramatic departure from the past, other than the fact of its existence. Nov. 15 2008' Mr. Aso (LDP) may yet pull off an electoral victory next year — it is increasingly certain that the next general election will not be held before April 2009 — but a general election will not substantially alter the situation (even with a DPJ victory, although a DPJ victory would at least ensure that the same party controls both houses of the Diet for the next several years/ The article ends on this cheery note: Little wonder that Japanese are opening for an Obama of their own: the political system is broken and the economy is faltering. Neither the LDP’s nor the DPJ’s performance in the face of crisis has been particularly impressive. The DPJ’s greatest strength remains that it’s not the LDP, and even that assertion is increasingly questionable. Japan looks increasingly set to decline steadily, unable to take decisive steps to restore national dynamism. This is the bakumatsu, but with few signs of a restoration to come, despite Ozawa Ichiro’s determination to be the vehicle of that restoration. Perhaps Japan should hold a lottery to pick a new ruling elite, choosing from among the eminently sensible housewives of Tokyo. I don’t see how they could be worse than the status quo.

The original OP sited a article about Japans coming general elections 2009' The East Asia Forum and Japanese Economic News WSJ / Tokoyo/ NYT's site the fundamental weakness of Japans 'LDP' or DPJ' and Japans past response to economic downturns. Sited 'Lost Decade' 1992-2001' deep recession that Japan experienced and some could argue never ended in 01' . The arguement
that the 09' general elections will change anything wether DPJ or LDP wins discussed as and noted as 'no change' because of the weakness of both partys and the 'fundamentally flawed economic policy of Japan'- Jan. 20 2009' article note date; The East Asia Forum author Tobias Harris another source Asia Times Online similar articles about Japans weak economic policy history regarding recession note again 1992-2001 'Lost Decade'.

On this thread there is talk of how strong China is financially... But if I had to choose to live as a salaried worker in any country in the world, I would choose Japan or the US way above China.
