The following phrasing as of August 8, 2005 was rather odd -It grew from a small party to a major force in post-war Japan. in "post war" Japan? The party was founded in 1998, I'd say that date was "rather" Post-War--Francis Burdett 13:29, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Maybe "post-cold-war".58.90.243.132 15:32, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Platform
I'm curious: What is the general platform of the DPJ? Obviously, the defining characteristics of a political party are difficult to pinpoint, but it would be nice to see something I can compare directly with the LDP, ideologically. Thanks Cherry Cotton 07:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

- 10 months later, I pose the same question. Especially in like of their recent electoral victory, I hope that someone who is knowledgeable about the DPV (not me!) will take the time to patch such a critical gap in this entry - wormcast 20:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- I want to know their platform too... Lord Metroid (talk) 09:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is DPJ a member of Alliance of Democrats?
Mr. Amagase, is there any official party decision on the membership of DPJ in Alliance of Democrats? As far as I know, no official information on this issue is found in the DPJ website. The link you mentioned (http://www.allianceofdemocrats.org/cms/view.php?dir_pk=8&cms_pk=34) only shows that Mr. Naoto Kan "joined" the meeting (meaning that he took part in the meeting). Furthermore, according to the CALD website, DPJ is not a member of CALD (http://www.cald.org/website/memberparties.htm). Could you please show me your source for the revision you made?

[edit] Clearify
- In the 2004 House of Councilors elections, the DPJ won a seat more than the ruling Liberal Democrats, but the LDP still maintained its firm majority in total votes. However, this was an extremely important outcome, since it was the first time since its inception that the LDP had garnered fewer votes than another party.
- In Upper House election 2007, the DPJ won 60 out of 121 contested seats, with 49 seats not up to the election, causing the LDP to lose its majority in the upper house for the first time since its inception.
Can someone explain to me when LDP first lost majority in the Upper House (House of Councillors)? Kaddkaka (talk) 15:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
