5 Chapter pt pt pt NEWS 1 Japan s ruling bloc wins landslide in upper house election Prime Minister Shinzo Abe s ruling coalition won a landslide victory on Sunday in an election for parliament s upper house, despite concerns about his economic policies and plans to revise the nation s post-war pacifist constitution for the first time. Final counts showed Abe s coalition and like-minded parties and independents had won the two-thirds super majority needed to try to revise the constitution s restraints on the military, a step that could strain ties with China, where memories of Japan s past militarism run deep. Abe s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) fell one short of winning a simple majority, which would have increased its clout within the coalition. Earlier projections had shown it was within their grasp for the first time since Nevertheless, the overall victory will still bolster Abe s grip on the conservative party that he led back to power in 2012 promising to reboot the economy with hypereasy monetary policy, fiscal spending and reforms. Abe s junior coalition partner, Komeito, fared well, winning 14 seats compared with nine before the election. Any attempt to revise the constitution will still be politically fraught, and LDP heavyweights have suggested that amending the pacifist Article 9 would not be the first priority. Abe told a TV broadcaster it was too early to talk about specific revisions to the constitution, and his No. 2 in the party said separately that talks with the opposition were needed. I have two more years to my term (as LDP president), and this is a goal of the LDP, so I want to address it calmly, Abe said. Some voters who backed Abe s LDP also said the economy s health was their biggest concern. Abe had cast the election as a referendum on Abenomics. With signs the strategy is failing, the government plans to compile a post-election stimulus package that could exceed 10 trillion ($99 billion). The opposition Democratic Party linked up with three smaller parties, including the Japanese Communist Party, to try to stop the pro-constitutional reform camp getting a super majority. Abe s coalition already has a super-majority in the lower house.
