“In elections on February 8, it won 316 seats out of a total of 465 in the lower house of Japan’s parliament... And the two-thirds majority will allow the LDP to pass bills in the lower house that have been rejected by the upper house. It will also now be possible to trigger referendums for constitutional reform, which figures on the right of the LDP have long campaigned for.”
