From the perspective of Japanese national character and political tradition, Upper House elections have always been favorable to opposition parties. However, Kans echo to LDPs tax reform policy was extensively criticized by the Japanese media and met with firm opposition from voters. Meanwhile, the results also showed voters denial of Kans neo-liberal political roadmap and his irresolute stance during the pre-election phase.

In Japans history, there were several Cabinets, including the Takeshita, Uno and Hashimoto Cabinets, which all fell from power due to the introduction of the general consumption tax or after attempts to improve the tax rate. The close relationship between Japanese politics and general consumption tax fully reflects Japanese voters opposition to the tax, as well as its profound influence during national elections, especially the Upper House poll.    Previous Page 1 2 Next Page      Previous Page 1 2 Next Page   ' ' '
