Posted in: Hatoyama says Japan will stay nuclear-free if DPJ wins election See in context
This is a really easy vote-winning policy, as the vast majority of Japanese are so anti-war and anti-nuclear.
It is only really a small handful of people who have a more questioning intellect, or are old enough to remember what war is like, to understand the threat from NK and to go against the grain and push for stronger defence policy.
Having said that, generally I like the DPJ policies and look forward to them gaining power.
